About Adworkshop

The sky's the limit

Want to see what your marketing agency is made of?
Then hang a shingle in the host city of the next Olympic Games.

It was 1977. And that's just what Tom and Adele did. With only a dream and $400 between them, newborn Adworkshop joined in welcoming the world to the 1980 Lake Placid Winter Olympic Games. Though rooted in destination marketing, Adworkshop has grown tall and wide. Branching into the active outdoors, healthcare, education, and financial sectors, Adworkshop continues to breathe life into the industries of upstate New York and beyond.


Business Partners. Life partners.

Tom and Adele Connors

"One of our greatest accomplishments is the jobs we have created in this beautiful area. We would like that to continue
for many years to come."
- Adele Connors

Adworkshop was the first advertising agency in Lake Placid, and remains the largest full-service agency from the Capital District region north to the Canadian border. On May 1, 2009, Adworkshop became the first employee-owned company in Lake Placid. By participating in an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), each employee has a vested interest in the success of the company, and therefore its clients. In December 2010, Adworkshop and Inphorm, was certified as a Women-Owned Business Enterprise through New York State's Division of Minority and Women Business Development.
