THE MBC LTD RECIPE FOR SUCCESS:

Throughout my entire advertising career starting in the 1980’s, I have stayed true to my approach and values regarding my clients and my work… by understanding their wants and needs, listening carefully to their own vision for success, and by keeping my word!  

Founder / Director, MBC LTD.  

ABOUT US

We are a full service advertising agency:

  • MEDIA BUYING:    MBC is always pushing for a little extra from the media provider on behalf of the client: Adding value to an already approved budget with extra television spots, cheaper production, additional billboards and other outdoor mediums, larger newspaper space for the same dollars, etc.. Whatever additional bonus exposure and therefore target audience can be provided at no extra charge, is always a welcome surprise to clients. In other words, “under promise / over deliver”
  • CREATIVE SERVICES & PRODUCTION: Through Maria’s visionary expertise, MBC creative directors and artists understand the clients’ objectives.   It is important to be honest, be unique but also keep designs clean, simple and timeless. MBC always honours pre-approved production budgets.

Advice from the heart for those wishing to start their own business:  LIFE is what you make it!  Live generously with a grateful heart for all of life’s blessings.  Be thankful each and every day for the gifts you have been given and use them to help others:  During the stressful times that everyone experiences, keep looking forward to the new and exciting days to come.  Go ahead, give that bright idea about your new business a go:  Hard work and integrity always succeed.
