The Agency >  History
We’re proud to carry the distinction as the longest-standing agency in our area that is still run by its original principals.

A 30-Year Journey – And Counting.

With little money, no insurance and no other means of support, Elaine Lyerly co-founded the agency in November 1977. Shortly after, a magazine ran a story under the headline, ”Here’s Proof Women Can Make It In Business.” While it’s comical to imagine a headline like that appearing today, Lyerly Agency’s success in its 30 years certainly provides the evidence to the contrary.

Expanding to offer full-service capabilities and a comprehensive approach to branding and communications solutions, Lyerly has grown into a highly reputable and well-respected firm.

Comprised of a talented and diverse group of women and men, Lyerly makes it our business to move our clients’ businesses forward by effectively communicating with people. Not only has Lyerly been named as one of the “Best Places To Work” by the Charlotte Business Journal, the agency has earned the “Family-Friendly Award” presented by Carolina Parenting magazine for ten consecutive years.

What does all this mean to you? How can we expect to help your business if we can’t run our own?
