Carefully crafted words have power — the power to launch a business, build a brand, promote your cause. At Joan B. Marcus Communications, we use the power of words to help you achieve your goals, whether you run a small business or a nonprofit organization. We start with a strong marketing message and integrate it into all of your marketing tools, from your website to print pieces, advertisements to electronic newsletters. Need funding for a new program? We write grant proposals that are clear, concise and convincing.

Although we believe that the written word is powerful, we recognize that words alone can’t always get the job done. That’s why we work with a talented team of independent professionals, from graphic and website designers to photographers and printers, to develop your project from concept to completion. We also can work with your team to deliver the message you need. Think of us as the Lehigh Valley's marketing communications resource for small businesses and nonprofit organizations. We look forward to unleashing the power of words for you. Click here to view our portfolio.
