1745 – our marketing House Story
We offer decades of experience with major clients at costs that can be afforded by entrepreneurs working to build their businesses. It is our aim to work solely with businesses in the alternate economy. We hope that can be you.
1745 is a newly-launched creative agency, started by Lisa Heppner and JC Bourque, a husband and wife creative team working together for twenty-five years. Since 1998, we had grown our tiny business into a full-service advertising and branding agency, working with clients in many fields, from small businesses to national and global clients. The samples and brands shown in our portfolio reflect this scope of work.
Lisa Heppner and JC Bourque were the sole creators during this period of agency growth. All of the samples you will see were created by us, under a different trade name. But rest assured, it is our work.
Two things compelled us to reinvent ourselves as a small, nimble team of creators.
First, working day and night to satisfy a bloated government overlord is, in a word— tiring. Our goal of being creatives became overshadowed by HR, taxes, insurance, inspections, CAM fees, 401K compliance, and a rent increase of 300% in less than 10 years.
So, we radically downsized, and quite fortunately, just before the pandemic lockdowns and restrictive policies could have severely damaged the business. The second— and much more important— reason was so we could work with customers who love our country and our way of life without fear of expressing it. We value freedom and hard work and seek to connect with like-minded people in a real way, without tip-toeing or self-censoring, in order to maximize creativity and fun for everyone involved.

God Bless America and all her hard-working people,
