American Marketing & Publishing

American Marketing & Publishing helps nearly 50,000 independent business owners advertise intelligently to their local community through our well loved HomePages® Directories, CloseBy® Text Marketing, and OPTIMA™ Online Visibility and Reputation Management Services.

In print, we publish over 500 highly trusted community directory titles in ten Midwestern states. That makes us the nation’s largest publisher of community specific telephone directories. We run a smart print business. It produces strong results for our customers and it is steadily growing.

In the mobile and digital space, we provide CloseBy® Text Marketing and send millions of deals, coupons, and announcements in the form of text messages each month on behalf of thousands of small businesses, schools, and government agencies. With OPTIMA™, we help businesses put their best foot forward online by presenting their key business information, image, and appearance consistently across the major search sites. It’s our mission here to provide compelling local advertising technologies to our clients at a low cost, and with great results.

Expansion, growth and practical innovation are at the core of our culture: AMP has grown every single year since its founding in 1997, and average employee compensation has increased 16 out of 16 years.

We are proud that 100% of our management team started at AMP doing the work they now manage. We take personal development seriously, from new rep training to leadership development with our executive team.

We hire achievers who are looking to put the pedal to the floor in their career. Our employees are relentlessly helpful and are motivated by the freedom of uncapped earnings potential, combined with a base salary and excellent benefits (Blue Cross/Blue Shield, car allowance, 401K, paid time off). Our work is not easy, and it’s not for everyone. But if you want to join a group of winning people who produce winning results for their customers, we should talk!
