Direct mail — Lake County & Northern Illinois
Postcards, neighborhood mailings and birthday mailers that land in the right hands
Direct mail still works because it shows up where nothing competes with it — the mailbox. We design, print and coordinate the whole campaign: the offer, the artwork, the mailing list, the drop date and the follow-up.
From EDDM postcards that blanket entire neighborhoods to birthday mailers that reach a household the week it matters, every piece is built around your offer, your audience and the response you need.

Paid advertising
Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google and Yelp — run by one person who knows your business
Local budgets don't have room for waste. Each platform gets creative built for it, tight geographic and audience targeting, and reporting you can actually read — recent client campaigns have run as low as $0.22 per click.
Facebook ads
Boosted posts and full campaigns targeted by zip code, interest and behavior — the workhorse for most local businesses.
Instagram ads
Feed, Stories and Reels placements with creative sized and written for each one, not recycled from Facebook.
LinkedIn ads
B2B campaigns aimed at owners, managers and referral partners when your customer is another business.
YouTube advertising
Short video ads in front of local viewers, built from the same production that powers Monday Marketing with JG.
Google Ads
Search, Display and Local campaigns that catch people at the moment they're looking for what you sell.
Yelp advertising
Premier Partner placements and profile upgrades most agencies can't offer, paired with review management.
Yelp review management
Reviews handled, not ignored
As a Yelp Premier Partner we monitor and respond to reviews, keep your profile accurate and complete, and run review-generation campaigns so happy customers actually leave one. Yelp feeds Apple Maps, Siri and AI assistants — what's on that profile is what they repeat.
Everything working together
Mail, ads and reviews on one calendar
The postcard hits the mailbox the same week the ad shows up in the feed and the review request goes out. A customer who sees you three places in seven days remembers you — that's the ACDI 2.0 approach behind every campaign we run.
