Grand Blanc, Michigan — Est. 1990
From print layouts to search algorithms, we've navigated through every shift in marketing since 1990 — and helped hundreds of Michigan businesses (and companies beyond Michigan) adapt, compete, and grow through every one of them.
Our Story
NWA Digital Marketing was founded in Grand Blanc, Michigan in 1990 — before Google existed, before social media, before the smartphone. What began as a print and design studio grew alongside the digital revolution, adding web development, search optimization, and digital advertising as each became essential to how businesses reach customers.
We've never chased scale. NWA has stayed small on purpose — because every client deserves direct access to the people doing the work, not a handoff to junior staff. That approach has earned us relationships that span decades, and a client roster that extends well beyond Michigan.
Our work has been recognized with multiple ADDY Awards from the American Advertising Federation — the advertising industry's most recognized awards program.

Founded in Grand Blanc, Michigan as a print design and marketing studio. First clients were local manufacturers and small businesses in the Flint and Detroit metro area.
Late 1990s
Expanded into web design as business websites became essential. Built some of the first sites for several long-standing Michigan clients still with the agency today.
2000s
Added email marketing, search optimization, and digital advertising to the service offering. Work expanded nationally and internationally — clients in Canada, England, Germany, and Switzerland.
2010s
Multiple ADDY Awards from the American Advertising Federation. Grew into social media management, paid advertising, and full marketing strategy consulting.
Today
Over 5,000 completed projects. Still headquartered in Grand Blanc, Michigan, and yes, we still answer our own phones.
Why NWA
Most agencies sell scale. We sell access. There's a meaningful difference in what you actually get.
01
At most agencies, the person who sold you the contract hands you to a junior account manager. At NWA, every client works directly with the people building their campaigns. That's been true since 1990 and isn't changing.
02
Multiple ADDY Awards from the American Advertising Federation — the industry's most competitive recognition program. Quality that's been independently verified.
03
Based in Grand Blanc since day one, but our client work extends to Canada, England, Germany, and Switzerland. Local expertise, professional results at any distance.
04
No cookie-cutter packages. Every campaign begins with understanding your business, your market, and what success looks like for you specifically.
05
Call and you will be directed to a real person. No ticket system, no chatbot, no call-back queue. It's how client relationships should work.
06
SEO, web design, social media, branding, print — all under one roof. No subcontracting. Tighter communication, better results, lower cost.
The Person Behind It All
Born and raise in Flint, Michigan, Norm Williams founded NWA in 1990 on the idea that great creative work and strategic thinking aren't separate disciplines — they reinforce each other. A well-designed piece communicates better. A well-targeted campaign is worth designing well.
That philosophy has carried through every project: from the first print jobs in Flint to SEO audits for businesses a thousand miles away.
