William A. Latocki ~ Biography

Bill Latocki has been self-employed full-time or part-time since September, 1974, in the professional fields of advertising, marketing and the creative communication arts.  From managing a one-stop-design-printshop to Director of Corporate Communications for 2 highly successful corporations, to owning and operating a 7-person staff full-service ad agency, he always stayed on target to his passion of getting RESULTS for his clients.

Today he is a one-man ad agency with over 46 years of hands-on experience in a broad range of services. His multi-tasking skills offer a strong advantage to his clients. With Bill you have the ad agency president, marketing director, creative director, senior designer, copywriter, web designer, photographer – all in one person.  This multi-talent in one person allows for greater effectiveness and speed in serving his clients.

His years, depth, and range of experience helps bring results to his client’s marketing, advertising and promotional efforts. Bill has sat on “all 3 sides of the desk” as he describes it: he managed senior level corporate communication and marketing departments of corporations, he managed senior level advertising sales and communications for a publishing company, and he owned a full-service ad agency throughout it all.

His enthusiasm for helping his clients meet their objectives is real and genuine and that is the key to his success for them. Bill says: “I enjoy what I do and I love to help others succeed.  I am dedicated and enthusiastic about my services for my clients. Results are all that matters. And I get things done.”


Additional background:

Bill married his wife, Kathy, on New Years Eve, Dec. 31, 1974. Kathy & Bill have 4 grown successful children and 6 grandchildren. They previously operated two faith-based ministries: NewJackson.org and WellspringPraise.org. Bill is on the board of directors for the Transformation Michigan ministry and Kathy was previously on the board of Lazy B’s Ranch for Kids – both are 501[c]3 non-profit organizations. Bill also performs percussion and/or drums on a regular basis for his Wellspring Praise ministry and several other musical groups, ministries or organizations. He is percussionist/drummer for JazzPraise and regularly sets in and jams with many other bands and gigs.  [see more at > PERCUSSION PAGE]
