C & D Advertising, led by President Jennifer Brillante, is proud to announce its certification by New York State as a Minority or Woman Owned Business (MWBE). The 26-year-old business, located at 103 West Court Street, Rome, New York, began the journey of becoming a woman owned enterprise in January 2021 when Brillante became the majority owner upon buying the business from George Carpenter, Founder.

 

“We are honored to receive the MWBE Certification. As a woman, wife, mother of two sons, and business owner, I deeply understand the challenges and perceptions we face in striving for equal footing with our male counterparts. Women often find themselves working twice as hard to balance the demands of personal and professional life, all while leading with empathy and resilience. said Brillante. “Our culture will keep people at the heart of C & D Advertising as we serve those with whom we are blessed to do business.”

C & D Advertising was co-founded by Carpenter, and his business partner, Barry Damsky in 1997 as Carpenter & Damsky Advertising. The partners were the only full-time employees of the firm for the first 15 years of the business when Brillante was hired and Damsky retired in 2012.
