Something About Us

Creative Advertising is a full-service, graphic design and advertising agency. We offer a diverse collaboration of experience, skill and talent from University of Florida graduates. We rely on that diversity to offer our clients the best solution for their marketing needs.

Creative Advertising was founded by President, Fran Ricardo, in 1984. She had a vision for a graphic design firm with a relaxed atmosphere, where clients could feel comfortable, while working within their budget and still receive excellent quality. This has made Creative Advertising the go-to agency for many University of Florida groups and organizations, as well as many local businesses.
