What kind of marketing do you handle?

Plans, ad placement, print, signage, vehicle graphics and the coordination to get it all done. If it's a straightforward marketing need, we can probably handle it in-house.

What if we need branding, PR or a full campaign?

We bring in Empress Strategic Communications or another professional we work with, and we stay on the project as your local contact.

Do you work with small businesses?

Most of our advertising clients are small businesses in St. Mary's and Calvert counties. Nonprofits and county agencies too.

Advertising & Marketing

Practical marketing for businesses and organizations across Southern Maryland.

Our Approach

We plan it. Then we run it.

Most of our clients don't need an agency. They need someone to write the plan, place the ads, get the banners printed and make sure the whole thing actually happens. That is the work we do.

We start by sitting down with you and the people who know your business best. From there we build a plan sized to your budget and your goals, and then we carry it out: ad placement, print, signage, vehicle graphics, event materials and the follow-through that keeps a campaign on schedule.

What We Handle

Ad placement, including transit and vehicle advertising
Banners, flyers, signage and print production

Strategic Partnership

When you need more than the basics.

Some projects call for a full creative team: a new brand, a public relations campaign, a website, media relations or a launch that needs to land in front of the right audience.

For that work, CMC partners with Empress Strategic Communications. We bring the local knowledge and the working relationship with you. Empress brings the creative and communications depth. You get one point of contact and a team that fits the size of the job, without paying agency rates for work that doesn't need them.

Tell us what you're trying to do. If it's within what we handle, we'll take it on. If it calls for a broader creative engagement, we'll bring in Empress or another professional we trust and stay involved from start to finish.
