We are big enough to handle any size project, but small enough to care about it. Founded in 1985, ASAP Event Advertising has grown to become America’s foremost event advertising expert. We create excitement, drive store traffic, and increase sales with top-of-the-line event elements like custom-designed grand opening signage, Adverflags®, banners, and more.
Partnering with major national and super regional chains in all categories, we design and install high-impact, attention-getting decorations, including window graphics, pennant flags, grand opening signage, tube dudes, custom inflatables, costumes and so much more. These brand assets grab the consumer at their most important decision points – outside your store and inside while shopping – to increase store traffic and sales.
In addition, big brand companies look to ASAP Event Advertising for expertise in special event and retail promotions at a variety of venues, including major sporting events, trade shows, special events, and in partnership with major retailers. We create, manage, and service larger-than-life, brand-building props, inflatable advertising, attention getters, and grand opening signage that get your message across in seconds.
ASAP has executed over 150,000 grand openings, combat situations, remodels, and promotional and special events – on time and on budget!
Being aware of our footprint as a business is very important to our team, so you can imagine our excitement when we were chosen to be 513 Green Workplace Certified! This is a culmination of years of work. ASAP is now able to recycle vinyl, polyester, and metal, so less is going into our dumpster and ultimately, the landfill.
Our efforts go beyond just recycling. What originally started as a warehouse reduction effort has spread to everything from office supplies and electronics. We also work with two great organizations: Queen City Commons, who turns organic waste from our office and our homes into compost for local farms, and Terracycle, who allows us to recycle items that aren’t accepted by our local recycling facility. It’s a work in progress, and we’re proud to be making a positive difference to protect the environment!
I am a graduate of the University of Cincinnati and currently reside on the Westside of Cincinnati. I have spent the last 31 years doing accounting with a wide variety of businesses in the Cincinnati area. What sets my experience at ASAP aside from other businesses? ASAP is uniquely innovating in its business outlook. This outlook ultimately creates a business where customer service and satisfaction can be the top priority.
Walks & anything outside, observant, eating my stuffed animal toys, goofy, full of energy, carrots, soccer, cuddling, slides & playgrounds.
I love to eat socks & have been told that I look like a mop, bear, lion & even once, a guinea pig (personally I don’t see the resemblance).
long distance runner, tons of energy, love ice cream, love howling along to songs (especially the Star Wars theme song), sweet.
I’m a female, though my owner clearly paid no attention to that in picking my name!
SO MUCH ENERGY, Lover of kiddos everywhere, playful & constant annoyance to my big sister, Darwin
I am in the office almost everyday - but it’s not because I’m the most well behaved - it’s because my humans don’t trust me to be by myself ;)
Founded in 1985 as an aerial advertising company by Mark Phillips. Within the first 5 years, ASAP’s growth saw two office moves as well as a shift in focus from aerial advertising to giant inflatable advertising, vinyl banners and other attention getters.
ASAP founded the Inflatable Advertising Dealers Association (IADA) in 1991 in an effort to develop best practices and grow a knowledgeable installer network nationwide. ASAP’s growth along with the industry saw 2 more office moves, ending in a 17,000 sqft office warehouse in 1998.
ASAP’s focus toward national retail chain stores led to the shift from ASAP Promotions to ASAP Event Advertising in 2002. ASAP developed our own proprietary in-house Project Management software for organizing and executing client events on time and on budget.
Seeing the industry shift away from giant inflatable advertising, ASAP introduced our own flag line, Adverflag™ in 2006. We also introduced our online store which gave clients the ability to buy our stock products online.
ASAP continues to grow with a 3rd generation of our proprietary project management software which includes a web portal for existing clients to access their events 24/7 - launched in 2013. Our online store now allows clients to design their own decorations in real time online. In 2015, ASAP became a distributer for an interior signage hanging system called Clik-Clik™ and added interior signage installs to our list of services. ASAP has executed over 100,000 events since 1985 and continue to add to that number everyday.
ASAP continues to grow with over 200,000 events since 1985. We outgrew our previous space and moved to a new, larger space in early 2020…what timing ;) While we navigated the “new normal” along with the rest of the world, we continued to provide excellent customer service to our clients as their needs evolved throughout 2020 and into 2021. As our clients’ needs changed, our product line expanded to include: PPE & safety products, procedural signage, directional and informational signage in addition to our standard attention-getting devices. Our team pulled together innovative solutions to meet our customers’ needs in real-time and we learned a lot along the way! Additionally, we launched the 4th generation of our proprietary project management software in 2021 which allows our team to meet our clients' needs even more efficiently than before. In 2021 ASAP also finalized a business transition, 6 years in the making, when Brittany Ulrich became the sole owner of ASAP Event Advertising and ASAP gained our official certification as a Woman-Owned Enterprise through WBENC. We are excited to continue offering superior project management, products, and services to our clients for years to come.

ASAP is excited to announce that we are officially a Women’s Business Enterprise! March of 2021 marked the transfer of ownership to long-time employee, Brittany Ulrich. As a team, we could not be prouder of this certification and our new President & Sole Owner! Being a WBE Certified Business means that we are over 51% owned, controlled, or operated by Women.
We will have opportunities to access businesses who seek out diversified partnerships and the opportunity to grow our brand by continuing our education through specific leadership-focused seminars. We are looking forward to what’s ahead and continuing to offer exceptional products, service, and communication to our clients, vendors, and partners, whether they need eye-catching grand opening signage, banners, and anything and everything in between.
