About
A HISTORY
OF EXCELLENCE
40 Years Strong
In 1981, Armstrong Chamberlin opened its doors with a cornerstone goal: providing results-oriented
marketing solutions for companies in the Wichita area. A lot has changed in the decades since, but one constant has been the steadfast resolve to meet your primary goal. From the very beginning, we believed
great storytelling is the secret to successful marketing. And in spite of all that has changed in the industry,
we still believe it now, 40 years later.
WE KNOW IT TAKES A GREAT STORY TO BECOME A BESTSELLER

As you’d expect with any business that’s been around for 40 years, we’ve seen our fair share of good times and bad. We’ve tackled countless challenges with clients of all sizes, and we’ve had great successes. Armstrong Chamberlin's favorite partners know that what we’ve done in the past isn’t’ nearly as exciting as what we can do in the future.
