No matter what business you’re in, the market place has grown wildly competitive. Capturing the attention of your target audience and causing them to react through purchase is best summed up with one word: Advertising. Whether you are a ‘do-it-yourself’ advertising guru or you enlist the aid of an agency, your business is still looking for one outcome: Results. You don’t want your business lost in a sea of sameness.
Your strengths may lie in other aspects of your business, not advertising. With agencies, you often end up paying more for the glamorous overhead while seeing less of a result. There is a unique solution, a ‘happy medium’ so to speak: CorMARK Advertising and Marketing.
CorMARK doesn’t utilize the standard agency bells and whistles to deliver unmatched results. Why should you deserve anything less? We use our own PDS formula (proven demographic strategies) coupled with the right medium to deliver visibility and purchase reaction to your business. We don’t believe in ‘me too’ advertising. Our goal is to separate you from the pack. Your advertising and marketing should not just say ’here we are’ but rather ‘here we are and look what we have to offer’!
CorMARK is a full service agency from conception to implementation. Our performances at times have been magical because the results have been unexplainable and the size of your business or budget doesn’t have to dictate the limits. CorMARK has worked with national, local, and ‘home grown’ businesses. We are owned by a bank, so we understand the meaning of ‘budget’. We believe you shouldn’t be held hostage by your agency’s overhead.
We are award winning, but our primary interest is not awards. It’s our client’s rewards! We have worked with businesses in retail, manufacturing and financial sectors. Our unique combination of experience, expertise, creativity, and cost effectiveness can be summed up with one word: ReMARKable.
So in this wildly competitive market place, why not give yourself a cost effective, creative, result driven edge that will leave a serious MARK on your competition? CorMARK Advertising and Marketing.

When Jeff was 3 years old, he ate an entire box of Crayola crayons, (the 24 color pack including burnt umber) and suffered no effects. However, his parents, Sue and Jim knew that somehow, sooner or later, the effect of those crayons (or the crayons themselves) would resurface: and they did! Jeff pursued a career in the graphic arts that has redefined the use of color, imagination, creativity and an insatiable appetite for more (no, not the 36 Crayola pack). He took up photography and web design and as Lead graphic artist for CorMark, Jeff channels all those graphic skills into successful and captivating ad campaigns that deliver each clients message with a lasting effect.
When not "coloring," Jeff enjoys time with his dogs, Simon and Jake, photographing weddings and eating out. His wife, Val, says that even today when Jeff gets embarrassed, he turns multiple colors, not just red. Perhaps a poster boy for Crayola is in the offing but for Jeff, he's more interested in coloring your business world with some results driven ad campaigns.
