Marshall Advertising Announces Official Certification as a Women-Owned Business

TAMPA, FL – Marshall Advertising has been a fixture in the media buying world for over 25 years, but now the agency is celebrating a more personal milestone: official certification as a women-owned small business granted through SBA. For Founder and CEO Jennifer Marshall, this isn’t just a new title—it’s a formal recognition of the path she’s been carving since the agency’s inception, growing it into a national firm managing hundreds of millions in ad spend.

This certification is more than a title; it is a strategic bridge for the agency’s partners. By joining the ranks of certified women-owned firms, Marshall Advertising provides a concrete advantage to clients with supplier diversity goals, while receiving the highest-level, specialized media expertise.

Jennifer’s early career in TV sales and agency work provided the foundation, but the year 2000 marked a pivotal shift for the firm. That was the year Kevin Marshall moved on from his corporate career to partner with Jennifer. Together, they have spent the last two decades building an agency known for its high profile clients such as Disney Entertainment, Hearst Television, Nexstar Media Group, and AMALIE Motor Oil, to long-standing partners like Suncoast Credit Union and Kane’s Furniture.

“While we’ve been operating this way for a long time, this certification feels like a natural and important next step in our story,” said Jennifer Marshall, CEO. “Embracing diversity means bringing different perspectives to the table, which is exactly how we’ve remained agile and successful for 25 years. Formally becoming a certified women-owned business reinforces the specialized, independent voice we bring to an industry that is constantly evolving.”

With a team representing over 250 years of combined experience, Marshall Advertising remains dedicated to its niche: expert media buying and planning across digital, television, audio and out-of-home media. The agency also remains deeply committed to the Tampa Bay community, supporting local nonprofits through their signature bi-annual open houses.
