About

Hamilton, Ontario – 1991

Armed with a passion for advertising and a dedication to exceptional service, Gary and Randy Sims opened the doors of Sims Advertising on November 1, 1991.  With years of marketing experience between them, Gary and Randy created a company that operated with integrity, fostered long-lasting relationships, and would leave a legacy for their family.  They vowed to encourage open communication with their valued clients and build a strong foundation based on a commitment to being responsive, strategy-oriented and delivering a quality product.

These three pillars of service have allowed Sims to maintain a reputation for professionalism, excellence, and an inviting open-door atmosphere.  The growth in the advertising industry over the past 30+ years has been monumental. They have seen the advertising business evolve from hand-drawn ads to full-scale digital platforms. The Sims team continues to adapt and engage with innovative solutions that bring value to their clients.

The entire team at Sims Advertising

Today, Sims Advertising is a fixture in the Burlington community.  The ability to adapt and grow has allowed the business to thrive through many economic and business cycles.  With a staff of 25+ talented and dedicated employees, clients can expect a quick-delivery and full creative control.  Integrity, communication, and long-lasting relationships remain the top values integrated into every strategic recommendation from traditional advertising to full-scale digital initiatives.  As the business grew, each new team member adopted the culture that Sims has so carefully cultivated. Their promise today is as it was on day one, to deliver the best overall strategy for their clients with integrity and personal attention to every detail.
