we are the traffic drivers
The Smith Group is a creatively-driven, full-service agency in Nashville, Tennessee. We have been helping clients brand themselves, tell their stories and drive traffic since 1975. That’s when Stennis Smith first opened the doors.
After decades of advertising, CEO Michael Smith has one realization, “Partnership is everything. We value working in collaboration with our partners because it contributes to stronger, smarter solutions. Learning the goals and expectations of our clients enables us to create and implement advertising and marketing strategies that produce their desired results.”
We’re the traffic drivers, and we drive traffic to your business. It’s as simple as that, and these are the advertising YOU need!
