Meet the Berk Marketing Team

When you call Berk Marketing you reach a person, not a call queue — and the same person stays with your account. These are the people who plan your campaign, negotiate your rates and write your commercial.

Peter Berk, President and Chief Media Strategist at Berk Marketing

Peter Berk

President and Chief Media Strategist

For more than 45 years, Peter has helped businesses make smarter advertising decisions by negotiating better media, reducing costs and making every advertising dollar work harder. Clients do not hire Berk Marketing simply to buy airtime. They hire Peter to be their advocate.

Certified by the Radio Advertising Bureau as a Certified Radio Marketing Consultant in December 1980, certificate no. 589, he has built a reputation for honesty, transparency and doing what is right for the client. Many advertisers have stayed with him for decades.

Peter works personally with every client, from the first strategy conversation through placement and optimization. Whether the buy is local radio, television, national networks or SiriusXM, clients get prompt answers to calls, texts and emails, and recommendations based only on what is best for their business.

The first thing I ask a prospective advertiser is whether they have a solution to a problem. If they do, we have something to advertise.

Advisors and Partners

The people behind the buy

Berk Marketing is not a one-man agency. These are the partners and specialists involved in planning, negotiating and producing campaigns, and an advertiser signing a schedule that runs for a year is entitled to know who they are.

New inquiries reach Peter or Jenn first. Whoever picks up your account has been trained on the same approach, applies the same ten-point standard to a proposal, and reports the same way. The name on the email changes; the method does not.
