Pasadena Advertising Agency
Admark Group is a full-service advertising and marketing agency headquartered at 680 E. Colorado Blvd in Pasadena, California. We have operated from this location for over 25 years, serving Pasadena businesses, Los Angeles-area companies, and national brands that need an agency with deep roots in one of Southern California’s most dynamic business communities.
Pasadena is home to world-class institutions like Caltech, ArtCenter College of Design, and the Huntington Medical Research Institutes. It has a thriving corridor of technology startups, professional services firms, healthcare providers, and hospitality businesses. We know this market because we are part of it – our team lives and works here, and many of our longest-standing clients are Pasadena-based organizations.
As an MBE-certified (Minority Business Enterprise) agency, we bring a distinct advantage: genuine expertise in multicultural marketing that connects brands to the diverse communities that make up Pasadena and the broader San Gabriel Valley.
Why Pasadena Businesses Choose a Local Agency
Pasadena’s business landscape is distinctive. The city balances legacy institutions with startup energy, and its demographics reflect one of the most diverse populations in the San Gabriel Valley. An agency that understands this market can deliver results that remote or out-of-area firms cannot.
Local Knowledge Matters
We understand the difference between marketing to Old Pasadena retail shoppers and South Lake Avenue professional services clients. We know the seasonal rhythms – Rose Bowl events, ArtNight Pasadena, the Tournament of Roses – that create opportunities for local businesses. And we understand the cultural makeup of the community, from the historic African American neighborhoods of Northwest Pasadena to the growing Hispanic and Asian communities throughout the city.

Full-Service Advertising Capabilities
From our Pasadena headquarters, we deliver the full range of advertising and marketing services:
- Multicultural Marketing – Bilingual campaigns, in-culture messaging, and Hispanic market expertise
- Media Buying & Planning – TV, radio, digital, programmatic, and out-of-home media
- Creative Production – Video, photography, graphic design, and bilingual content
- Brand Strategy – Positioning, identity, and messaging development
- Digital Advertising – Google Ads, Meta, programmatic display, and paid social

Why Admark Group for Pasadena Businesses
- 25 years on Colorado Blvd – We have been part of this business community since 2000. Our relationships with local media, vendors, and organizations are built on decades of presence, not a recent Google search.
- MBE certified – Our Minority Business Enterprise certification through the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) meets supplier diversity requirements for corporations and government agencies. For Pasadena’s many institutional clients, this matters.
- Multicultural expertise – Pasadena’s population is roughly 34% Hispanic, 15% Asian, and 10% African American. We create campaigns that connect authentically with these communities – in language, in culture, not just in translation.
- Full-service capability – You do not need separate agencies for creative, media, digital, and strategy. We handle everything under one roof, eliminating the coordination overhead that costs time and money.
- National reach, local roots – We serve clients nationwide, but our home is Pasadena. You get the capabilities of a large agency with the attention and accessibility of a local partner.
