Ten Adams | About | Who We Are

What started as a graphic design studio quickly evolved into a full-service agency servicing multiple industry verticals in the Midwest. When Jon Headlee, our current President, joined the agency in 1992, he set a vision to grow the business by specializing in healthcare – serving hospitals with marketing, communications, and advertising campaigns. Healthcare marketing has historically been several years behind the curve of other industries. As healthcare marketing and communications evolve, it’s challenging for hospitals and healthcare marketing teams to stay current with the latest trends while trying to manage all the internal audiences, along with their growing expectations and pressures. It’s easy to become overwhelmed and settle for ineffective, one-size-fits-all marketing tactics.

Unlike many branding and marketing agencies, you won’t find us chasing leads that leave us working in dozens of different fields. We focus all of our efforts, expertise, research, and execution on producing incredible results for hospitals and health systems like you.

Purposeful Marketing

There’s a lot riding on the success of your branding and marketing. You shouldn’t have to do all the heavy lifting on your own. We employ proven marketing strategies to shape your healthcare organization's reputation and distinguish it from other providers.

Commitment to Results

Some companies draft a fancy mission statement that only stays on paper. Our mission matters because your mission matters. Every campaign we deliver is another opportunity to drive meaningful results against some of the toughest healthcare challenges of our day.
