In 1995, Big Communications started small when John Montgomery founded the agency from his downtown loft on Morris Avenue in Birmingham, Alabama. John combined his know-how in the entertainment industry with his experiences in the advertising industry and built an agency from the ground up that has a reputation for creating big ideas and delivering even bigger results.
From tourism and healthcare to entertainment and retail, Big’s team of 16 employees work together to create marketing, media and public relations campaigns for clients in a wide range of industries.
Most recently, Big added even more to its list of industry experience when Ford Wiles joined as partner and Chief Creative Officer . Having spent over twelve years building brands for companies like The Home Depot, Saks, Captain D’s, Verizon Wireless and Intuit, Ford brings a unique perspective to big thinking.
Big Communications continues to foster the belief that big ideas and creative thinking can, and should, come from every department, Big is proud to be the proof that when you work together and dream big, big things happen.
The next big thing, might just be the idea we create for you.
