Our Clients

We help brands achieve their goals

We wanted an effective way to let potential customers in our community know more about our business. Prime Advertising + Design worked with us to create professional looking ads for the local Community Guides. Our Marketing Consultant was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The results have been fantastic! We’re so pleased with our experience with Prime Advertising + Design. We’ll definitely use them again!

– North Central Plumbing, Inc
In 2003, Heating & Cooling Two, Inc. decided to make Prime Advertising + Design, Inc. our go-to agency for all of our marketing needs. Prime is top-notch for Web, SEO, Print, Digital, Mass-Media (Radio & Television), and most other marketing we've done. They are so integrated in the community, and therefore, know what works and what to not waste our time on. Prime has helped us increase web traffic, directed customers to us through print media in their various Community Newsletters and Guides, has given us a radio and television presence that we previously didn't have, and overall helped “brand” our company. The staff is wonderful to work with and they get things done in a timely and professional manner. If you are looking to help grow your business, I would definitely recommend Prime Advertising + Design, Inc.

– Heating & Cooling Two, Inc.
Prime Advertising definitely exceeded our expectations in helping us create our new branding and company website. Their marketing team was excellent in working closely with us as a team to see our vision as a company and get the results we expected. I would definitely recommend Prime Advertising to friends, family and clients.

– AMBE LTD. Building Envelope Consultants
You have been amazing to work with, more responsive than any other website company/agency I've worked with to date…and that means a lot when you’re running the pace we are here!

– National Joint Powers Alliance
I have worked with Prime Advertising since 2011 for our advertising and marketing - they have been very creative, always presenting new ways to promote our business. Their staff is top caliber when it comes to knowledge and commitment. I would highly recommend them for advertising, design, and marketing.

– Pearle Vision Maple Grove
As a new business, Prime Advertising was invaluable in helping us to creatively define a brand that was reflective of our philosophy. Our Project Manager skillfully guided us on many tasks such as logo creation, web design, print marketing materials, and advertising decisions. She was patient, flexible and very responsive to our needs. Her care for our satisfaction and her ability to orchestrate the multiple services needed to bring our projects to completion, undoubtedly serve as the hallmark in our recommending Prime Advertising to the community.

– Healthwise Behavioral Health & Wellness
Prime makes it their goal to understand our company and brand as though it were their own. They value their relationships and ensure the clients are always satisfied. Prime is a great company and has great people.

– FVP Parts
As the Chamber of Commerce representing hundreds of members in four of the most dynamic cities in the Twin Cities metro, we insisted on matching that extraordinary client and community landscape with an annual directory of comparable excellence, which we call “The Business Resource Guide.” Our challenge to our publisher/designer Prime Advertising + Design was a very tall order – we insisted on creating a total, powerhouse platform with an online interactive version for our members and advertisers that would be a showcase for all of our communities as well: Not just a beautiful magazine including an essential directory, but one that was filled with the information people want when they’re looking to buy, move or become far more engaged here in this wonderful part of the country. It would have to be done in a way that was reflective of the excitement and dynamic characteristics we have available in Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Maple Grove and Osseo. It would also be delivered to more than twice the readership we had attained previously and become the benchmark by which such publications are measured. As we believe we are unlike any…

– North Hennepin Chamber of Commerce
My experience with Prime: 10 years, 3 companies, 3 corporate identities, and 3 website builds. This is my go-to partner for creative and web. Shopped them for the most recent effort and they beat out others in requirements gathering, creative approach, technical solution, and cost. Good team of people. It seems they strive to build lasting relationships by producing desired results from well managed engagements while maintaining flexibility and client focus. When an inevitable problem has crept in to our work together, Mark and Nathan have been quick to respond and obviously committed to a satisfactory outcome. Lastly, I find them a fun group to work with - important in my book.

– Ray Davey
We've been working with Prime for about 10 years and the team does an awesome job for us. Since we got involved with Prime, we’ve been growing at about 10% every year.

– Robillard Plumbing
Prime Advertising has really helped us a lot with our marketing needs. We have been doing business with Prime since 2010. They completely redesigned our web site in 2012 and we love it. I still have a lot of compliments from our customers about it. With all the web changes and how Google looks at web sites nowadays, we hired Prime again in 2016 to redo our current site to a fully responsive one with lots of changes. It's not live yet but I am super excited and look forward to its completion. Prime is doing all the print work (folders, contracts, business cards, ad creative, SEO optimization). We are also in the City Guides with print ads by Prime. Their staff is really amazing, super friendly and knowledgeable. We also hired Prime to re-do our company logo. Can't be happier with Prime and thanks to Mark, Stacy and Ben for listening and providing.

– Spotless & Seamless Exteriors
Prime Advertising has been an integral part in getting our marketing team and efforts off of the ground. From having dedicated staff to bounce ideas off, get new ideas or have graphic staff able to put our visions in to reality we have a trusted partner. The trust and familiarity all due to the amazing job they did starting with overhauling our website that tripled our web traffic and increased Search Engine Optimization.
