About Fouts & Son Advertising & Some Of Our Clients

Founded in 1974 by J. Sam Fouts and his son John, as a Virginia corporation operating as a full service advertising, marketing and promotion agency.

The Pen brings individual expression to a world of laser printers and digital technology. It is an artful instrument of pride that signifies commitment and integrity. Thus, the nib of the pen became our logo for our legacy as a family business. We believe the family that can work together has the best strengths to get the job done right. It’s called family pride.

Our mission is to provide our clients with a well managed, on going, and comprehensive marketing/advertising program, commensurate with the client’s image, goals and budget.
