Advance Advertising was established in 1949, by Jean and Phil Oberkiser, as a small promotional products business that they operated from their home. Jean recalled the times she would make phone calls to clients from the closet of their home, so they would not hear the children playing in the background. In time the business grew out of the home and into an office. For over thirty years, Phil and Jean grew the business and raised three beautiful children while doing so. In 1981, Phil and Jean retired, selling the business to their nephew, Lucky Langendorfer. Lucky, like his aunt and uncle, raised a wonderful family through the hard work of himself, his wife and their dedicated staff. For thirty more years, the family business continued to thrive and grow. In 2013, Phil and Jean's grandson, Shawn Murphy, took over as owner of the company with a vision to continue the same impeccable level of service. Since then, the team has grown, continuing to seek trend setting ways to expand offerings to their clients to help them successfully market their businesses while honoring the time tested principles that has kept the business successful for 75 years.
