Our Work Adds Up




“2020 was a unique year for MADJ Marketing. As one of the region’s newest and fastest growing advertising agencies, we found ourselves searching for new and innovative ways to continue our mission of supporting businesses and organizations in our community. While much of our community had to shut down, we spent the year implementing small business support campaigns and providing no-cost consulting assistance to both local non-profits and some of Berks County’s largest employers on how to successfully execute virtual events and continue full-service marketing and communications efforts. Through all of that, we felt that establishing membership with GRCA was necessary to continue telling our story and creating even more awareness around the MADJ brand and the services we offer.”
Kevin Bezler, President | CEO
MADJ Marketing LLC, Member since 2018
