Design and Marketing work that Kelley & Associates Advertising has created for Germantown Police Department, Shelby County Sheriff's Office and Memphis Police Department

Kelley & Associates worked with the Memphis Police Department in 2016 on the “Join the Best in Blue” Recruiting Campaign. Campaign creative invoked hometown pride in Memphis’ most meaningful cultural, historical and natural elements. Supplemented by monthly news interviews, the campaign spanned broadcast, digital and out-of-home media in a mix of television, radio, billboard, bus and digital ads as well as a new website and social media profiles.

Memphis Police Department received 3,067 applications from June 2016 to January 2017 due to our campaign, while receiving only 325 applications from June 2015 to January 2016.


Kelley & Associates worked with the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office on their 2022 and 2024 Corrections Deputy Recruiting Campaigns. Our integrated, multi-platform campaign effectively and creatively utilized strategic marketing channels that capture and strengthen the image and interest, not only for a career in law enforcement, but with the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office.

This included a video shoot, video production, streaming video ads, YouTube ads, radio ads, TikTok ads, search ads, retargeting, targeted display advertising, public relations, website updates, creation and printing of flyers and bannerstands, custom media distribution database, and applicant email communications.

Shelby County Sheriffs Office received a 107% increase in the number of applications received during the 2022 campaign compared to their previous application period.


Kelley & Associates has been instrumental in supporting the City of Germantown Police Department’s recruitment efforts, employing a multifaceted marketing strategy to attract top-tier talent. 

With captivating banner stands strategically placed at recruitment events, attention-grabbing flyers distributed across targeted areas, and a dynamic social media presence that showcases the department’s values and opportunities, Kelley & Associates has helped the Police Department stand out in a competitive field. 

Their meticulously designed website serves as a digital gateway for prospective candidates, offering a wealth of information about career paths, benefits, and the department’s culture. By collaborating with Kelley & Associates, the City of Germantown Police Department continues to attract dedicated individuals who are passionate about serving and protecting their community, ensuring a strong and capable force for years to come.

We Have Unique Experience

Through our work with Memphis Police Department, Germantown Police Department, and Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, we have unique experience with the law enforcement and corrections sector. We understand the importance of not only reaching the young adult population but also those with military experience and the Spanish-speaking population.

For SCSO, we toured the Training Academy and correctional facilities including 201 Poplar and Jail East. We talked with Corrections Deputy recruits to learn more about why they applied and interviewed the Sheriff and Deputies to learn why they love working for SCSO. 

We toured every division of MPD including the Real Time Crime Center, various MPD precincts, Canine unit, Air Support Unit, Motorcycle Unit, and MPD Training Academy. This in-depth research provided a unique understanding of the target audience resulting in impactful creative and buying strategies that are still being utilized by the City today based on the tremendous success of our initial campaign.
