Lewis Creative Agency Relocates to St. Louis Street
MOBILE, Ala. (April 23, 2025) — Lewis, an independent, integrated creative and media agency founded in Mobile in 1951, is proud to announce its relocation from its 37-year home on Government Street to a beautifully renovated building in the heart of Mobile’s business district.
“Lewis has grown into an internationally-acclaimed company with three offices across the South thanks to our beginnings in Mobile,” said Ellen Faulkner, Lewis’ CEO.
“We wanted to be sure our presence in our hometown is as innovative and vibrant as our company is today. Our goal was to create an environment for putting fresh thinking into action; a space for the biggest ideas Alabama has ever seen.”
“By planting our roots downtown, we’re investing in the future of Mobile. We want to be where innovation happens, where stories are shared and where community thrives. Downtown gives us that energy and opportunity.”
The move to 500 St. Louis Street marks a new chapter of growth for Lewis and the company’s commitment to economic development of the city. From purchase, to demolition, to renovation, Lewis has invested $7 million to bring their new office to life and has set an example for how other businesses can invest in Mobile’s economic future.
“When Lewis started the search years ago we knew that we wanted to be in the downtown Mobile area, and we particularly liked the vibe and excitement that was just beginning on St. Louis Street,” said Lewis Chairman Larry Norris. “We are delighted to be in the historic Automobile Alley District and are excited for the infrastructure upgrades and other investments and improvements coming here.”
The new office is designed to foster creativity and cross-functional teamwork and features open workspaces, stadium seating, a gym and a rooftop patio. It’s a complete overhaul of the former space, which Lewis first toured in 2018.
“In spite of the dark, dated interior with not a single window, we loved the potential — tall wooden ceilings with skylights, beams and the original (but covered-over) clerestory windows. And, secure, onsite parking for all our staff members,” said Norris, who previously oversaw renovations of Lewis’ offices in Birmingham (2015) and Nashville (2019).
Lewis worked with Jared Fulton of Chambless King Architects to design and restore the St. Louis Street property and OEC Workplace Solutions to furnish it.
The Mobile Chamber of Commerce celebrated the new office with a public Ribbon Cutting at the building on April 23, 2025. A private Open House is set for May.
