About Us

I've long felt that you don't need to spend a small fortune on marketing and communications to be successful. Nevertheless, the prevailing sentiment is that the most money pays for the best talent, and so many small- and local-businesses, non-profit organizations, public sector entities and educational institutions get left by the wayside to figure out their own solutions. Great Lakes Creative Marketing & Communications, LLC, was founded to provide an affordable alternative to big-time marketing agencies where a majority of your money goes to pay for name & reputation, or detached, kitschy art shops that provide clever output, but not effective and sustainable solutions.

The only difference in success between those with an abundance of resources and those without is creativity, and that's what Great Lakes Creative provides. Whether you're lacking in direction, manpower, or expertise, we can offer a full range of services, from simple design or projects to full-service program management and strategic planning. And above else, we guarantee that you're not just hiring an agency, you're working with a partner who wants to see your business or organization excel.
