We call ourselves Bernadine Marketing because of Saint Bernardine of Siena, a 15th century Franciscan priest known for his powerful preaching and strong emphasis on honesty and integrity in public life and commerce. Saint Bernardine traveled throughout Italy encouraging ethical business practices, moral leadership, and responsible communication. He is often regarded as the patron saint of advertising and communications because of the persuasive yet truthful way he spread his message. We chose his name because we believe marketing should be rooted in integrity, clarity, and service. At Bernadine Marketing, our mission is to use modern strategy and creativity to help businesses grow while promoting what is good, authentic, and beneficial for the communities they serve.
