Meet the Team That Makes It Happen

I have worked closely with Neil Ross and the James Ross Advertising team on many projects over the years, and they consistently go above and beyond to deliver exceptional creative for their clients. These are demanding productions that require strong planning, constant communication, and the ability to adapt quickly, and James Ross Advertising leads these efforts with confidence and clarity.

Neil, his team, and I have truly been in the trenches together, working long days in the field to deliver the highest possible quality creative. This is not something I can say about every producer or manager I have worked with, and it speaks volumes about the standards they hold and the culture they have built.

Neil treats his clients’ brands like they are his own. He pushes projects forward, clears roadblocks, and makes sure nothing slips through the cracks. When he is involved, I know the work will move and the details will be handled.

Beyond execution, Neil has also been a mentor to me over the years. When I have questions about creative direction, marketing strategy, or business decisions, he is someone I trust for honest, thoughtful guidance, and that leadership is reflected across his entire team.

James Ross Advertising, led by Neil Ross, is one of the most forward-thinking and innovative boutique firms in the industry. Constantly evolving and adapting to the ever-changing advertising space as well as the consumer dynamic. Neil and his team push the boundary of targeted consumer marketing and leverage innovation for this outreach. A firm that has spanned decades could easily stay true to the traditional models, but it has not been the nature of James Ross. Forward-thinking barely scratches the surface. It takes commitment to leverage knowledge and history while continuing to pull it forward as a modern and relevant (if not leading) advertising process today.

Having worked with many firms over my professional career, of all sizes and scopes, James Ross sits at the top of the list. Global in outreach, local in strategic thinking. And a team led by Neil that never fails to achieve and exceed. This is easily met by integrating themselves into the brands they partner with. They become an extension of the persona of their partners. It is an added value, yet equally important to collaborate with the most dedicated, results-driven people. This starts with Neil.

Truly best in class!

Over the years I’ve leaned on James Ross and the team for large-scale website development projects across multiple brands, and they exceeded expectations and most importantly, desired results from each effort. For more than a decade, the team at JRA designed and supported Gold Coast Schools from a website and digital media perspective. With multiple integrations needed to support the front-end and backend (e-commerce and an LMS for students), Neil and the team were able to solve complex issues that created amazing UX/UI for students and increased conversions for Gold Coast.

We also worked on e-commerce based bookstores, fighter brand schools/strategies, and a handful of other projects over the years.

Bottom line: I turn to James Ross because they take the time to understand our mission and are bold enough to offer experience-based alternative solutions, which through collaborative efforts, have helped me hit home runs for the companies I’ve been involved with.

Thank you for making me (a Director of Marketing) look like a rockstar through your great work. I’m happy to share my experiences with anyone considering the JRA team.

James Ross Advertising has effectively become our in-house marketing department. What began as a traditional agency relationship has evolved into a true partnership that touches every aspect of our business.

From brand positioning and digital strategy to day-to-day execution and long-term planning, their team understands the nuances of the luxury yacht market. They don’t just execute; they think alongside us, challenge assumptions, and help guide decisions that impact growth. The level of access, communication, and accountability is special—we speak daily, collaborate closely, and trust them completely with our brand.

After more than three years working together, James Ross Advertising is deeply embedded in how we operate. They bring clarity, consistency, and forward momentum to our marketing, and we consider them an essential extension of our team.

James Ross Advertising did an outstanding job building a fully custom website for HBG Yacht Sales and supporting our advertising needs. The entire process was easy, professional, and well-organized from start to finish. They took the time to understand our business and delivered a site that looks great, functions smoothly, and represents our brand exactly how we wanted. Beyond the website, their guidance on advertising has helped increase our exposure and drive real results. The site has become a strong asset for our business. Highly recommend James Ross Advertising for both custom web design and advertising.
