Peoria IL Marketing, Public Relations, Planning, Research, Analysis, Internal/External Communications

Clark Marketing, based in downtown Peoria, Illinois, helps businesses and professional agencies handle overflow marketing needs rather than serving as a sole agency of record. Owner and principal Valerie Clark brings over 20 years of marketing expertise, working frequently alongside M. Kitty Ryan, whose combined experience with Clark spans more than 40 years. Clients have included Caterpillar, A.G. Edwards, American Express, Peoria Chiefs Baseball, Peoria Civic Center, and Steak n Shake, with Clark Marketing holding status as a creative supplier for Caterpillar.

Services center on media relations, press releases and newsroom support, and corporate communications, covering both internal and external communications needs. Research and analysis round out the offering, including quantitative surveys, qualitative interviews, and competitive and category analysis. Marketing planning ties these pieces together for clients who need added capacity without building out a full internal team.

Clark Marketing is a member of the Peoria Area Chamber of Commerce and holds certifications for small businesses. The agency's office space in downtown Peoria anchors its work with regional and national clients across sectors from finance to sports and hospitality.
