New work from Advocate Sign Group: window graphics for the Pictou County Sports Heritage Hall of Fame's new home in Trenton.

We printed and installed athlete silhouettes on the front and side of the building. Hockey, curling, basketball, softball, soccer, boxing, football and track all made the lineup. No tryouts required.

Thank you to the Hall of Fame for having us. Stop by to see the windows, and see what is inside while you are there. Pictou County Sports Heritage Hall of Fame

Today, our team is wearing orange in recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and to honour the message that Every Child Matters.

We remember the children, families and communities impacted by residential schools and their lasting legacy. We also recognize that reconciliation is an ongoing responsibility, one that calls on us to listen, learn and support meaningful change.

After 40 years as the home of Flyer Services, we are selling our property at 23 Chipman Drive in Kentville.

It has served us very well, but as our business has changed, it is time for the property to begin its next chapter. This well-located and versatile building could be a great home for another local business.

A great brand deserves to be experienced, not just seen.

We love creative collaborations like this one between At Home on the North Shore and for this special photo contest. The result? A custom-branded YETI Dog Bowl that's as memorable as the campaign itself. It's a product with a purpose!

This project is also a great example of what's possible when you think beyond traditional promotional products. At Advocate Sign Group, we help businesses bring their brands to life through high-quality custom signage, branded merchandise, awards, promotional products, and unique marketing pieces that leave a lasting impression.

Whether it's a one-of-a-kind contest prize, corporate gifts, event branding, or custom displays, we're always excited to help our clients create something people will remember.

Introducing Flyer Experts.

We built it for one reason: too many great businesses run flyer campaigns that don't deliver — weak targeting, slow printing, and guesswork about where the flyers actually land.

Flyer Experts does the whole thing, start to finish: strategy, design, printing on our own presses in Atlantic Canada, and national delivery as a Canada Post Expert Partner.

One team. One program. No middlemen.

And your first consultation is free — we'll map out coverage, formats, and cost with no obligation.

Twenty years of partnership deserves more than a certificate.

We produced this custom service award for a client recognizing a builder partner for two decades of working together and their Certified Dream Builder designation.

House-shaped green acrylic, laser engraved, mounted with brushed stainless hardware and a clear overlay.

The details matter on something like this. The piece will sit on someone's desk for years.

If you have a milestone coming up worth recognizing, reach out. We can help design something that fits.

A good water bottle gets better when it has your name on it.

We engraved this water bottle for a customer. Bright blue, clean script, and a level of precision that holds up every time you look at it.

Laser engraving makes it personal. If you are looking for a
gift for someone who is hard to shop for, a personalized water bottle is a good call. We can engrave single pieces. No minimum order required.

June is Pride Month.

Advocate has been in Pictou County and across Atlantic Canada since 1891. We are proud to work with people, businesses, and organizations across this region each with their own stories, identities, and contributions to our communities.

To everyone in the 2SLGBTQ+ community: we see you, we value you, and we are proud to work alongside you. This Pride Month, and always, we celebrate you.

Happy Pride Month!

Every name matters.

We can produce personalized leather journals with a company logo engraved on the cover and a recipient's name.

Tan and brown leather-effect covers, clean engraving, a gift that feels considered.

When you hand someone something with their name on it, it lands differently than something off a shelf.

If you are working on year-end or milestone gifting, we can help you figure out what makes sense.

A local course asked us to produce custom tournament gifts and we had some fun with it.

Four colours of YETI cocktail shaker, each laser engraved with a lobster graphic and the event name. Forest green, orange, red, and lavender. Clean lines, sharp engraving, something people will actually use long after the tournament is over.

Good tournament gifts keep your event top of mind every time someone pulls them out of the cabinet.

If you have an event coming up and want to talk through gift options, reach out.
