About Us

AdMax connects your business with the right people at the right time through outdoor displays, print publications, and coupon programs that reach thousands across Duluth and Superior.

Our Agency

Established in 1992, AdMax began with a simple mission: to provide local businesses with affordable, visible ways to advertise in their community. Over the years, the company grew from bus bench placements into a full-service network that includes backlit displays in Canal Park and respected community publications such as The Duluthian and Positively Superior. With decades of experience serving the Northland, AdMax has built a reputation for trusted, community-driven advertising solutions that deliver real results.

In 2025, AdMax entered a new chapter by partnering with Finden Marketing, bringing together proven local advertising platforms with a full suite of modern marketing services. Today, AdMax continues to honor its roots while offering businesses even greater opportunities to grow, connect, and thrive in the region.
