Dickie+Associates was formed in 1983 by Heather Dickie, an independent creative director and project manager, to provide innovative solutions and practical applications for a diverse range of marketing communication strategies and capabilities in mediums of print, multi-media, video, and the internet.

That same year, the Dallas Symphony Association began its capital campaign to build the Meyerson Symphony Center, Texet Semiconductor formed as an offshoot from Texas Instruments, and Vari-Lite patented its automated lighting technology. These were some of our first clients and projects.

D+A work includes marketing communications programs for capital campaign projects with Texas Women’s Foundation, National Audubon and Texas Horse Park; urban development projects with the Trinity River Corridor Project and Vision North Texas; marketing campaigns with Dallas Love Field, the Frontiers of Flight Museum, Sports Business Solutions, Boy Scouts of America, Circle 10 Council, and Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation; and transportation projects with Dallas Area Rapid Transit, the City of Dallas, DFW Connector, the Fort Worth Transportation Authority, and the Santa Fe Metropolitan Planning Organization.

In 2015, D+A received the North Dallas Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year nomination.

D+A is a certified Women-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE).
