He has become a prominent force in the advertising arena, and consistently provides his clientele with innovative and affordable ways for them to reach their target market. When asked about the concept behind purchasing Interstate Graphics, Inc., Byrd stated, “We are privileged to help keep the Sevier County economy strong by providing a one-stop marketing and advertising agency that delivers the capabilities and quality previously only found in outside agencies. It has been our goal since day one to remain true to our beliefs and give back to the community that we’ve loved and been a part of for so many years.” Integrating Interstate Graphics, Inc. into The Thomas Group organization will keep advertising dollars spent by local businesses in Sevier County allowing more opportunities to attract tourism and put that money back into the community. “The ultimate goal is to see our community prosper and continue to grow, which will be beneficial for all of Sevier County and its surrounding areas,” Byrd said.
