Experience

Experience where it
counts—everywhere

Jones and Thomas, Inc. was founded in 1980 in Decatur, Illinois, and is the largest full-service marketing communications company in Illinois outside of the Chicago area.

We're located in the heart of the Midwest, so many of our past and present clients are in ag-related businesses.

To take care of those clients' needs, our team includes everyone from creatives who grew up on or around farms to account execs with degrees from colleges like the University of Illinois College of Agricultural, Consumer, and Environmental Sciences to public relations' strategists and account supervisors who have done it all. The fact is: Jones and Thomas understands ag.

What's more is that we not only understand agriculture, we know how to market its products.

In fact, Jones and Thomas routinely tours teachers from USDA's Agriculture in the Classroom program and students from area colleges who want to learn more about agriculture marketing.

Whether it's fertilizer; livestock feed; or equipment, parts, and services, Jones and Thomas has agriculture covered.
