Luquire George Andrews, Inc. (LGA), is the leading advertising and public relations agency in the Charlotte, North Carolina, area, with capitalized annual billings of more than $70 million. The agency provides integrated marketing and branding services for nationally and internationally recognized companies, including Curtiss-Wright Controls, Blum Inc., the National Football League’s Carolina Panthers, Time Warner Cable, the PGA TOUR’s Wachovia Championship and TIAA-CREF.
LGA was founded in 1984 by Steve Luquire, Tom George and Clay Andrews, evolving from a three-man business into an award-winning firm with a staff of more than 45. LGA’s steady growth can be attributed not only to its full-service capabilities – which includes advertising, public relations, media buying, special events and new media -- but to the principals’ strong roots in the community.
Senior management serves in leadership roles on the boards of economic development organizations, social services agencies, and arts and cultural groups throughout North and South Carolina. In addition, LGA principals were key members of the task force that recruited the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s Basketball Final Four Tournament to Charlotte, and assisted in the foundation of the Carolina Panthers, the first NFL team in the Carolinas.
The agency’s success also mirrors the economic success of the Charlotte region in general. With several locally based companies ranked on the Fortune Global 500 List and an influx of more than 300,000 new residents in the past five years, the region is one of the fastest-growing in the nation.
On the creative front, LGA continues to attract creative directors, art directors, interactive designers, writers and filmmakers from New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Los Angeles, and other leading markets across the U.S. The agency has been recognized with numerous industry awards, including Addy Awards (presented by the American Advertising Federation), the Grand Award at the New York International Film & Video Festival, and the PRINT Design Excellence Award.
