South Bend, IN — October 2025 — TJ21 Media Group is proud to announce that it has once again been named Best Advertising Agency in the South Bend Tribune Community Choice Awards. This year’s honor marks the agency’s sixth win in seven years, solidifying its reputation as a trusted leader in marketing, media, and creative strategy across Northern Indiana and beyond.

Founded in 2012 in Mishawaka, TJ21 has grown into a powerhouse agency known for its creativity, client-focused strategies, and results-driven campaigns. The move to its downtown South Bend headquarters in the KeyBank building in late 2022 reflected a new chapter of expansion and enhanced services. Winning yet again in 2025 underscores the team’s continued dedication to excellence and the strong community support that fuels its success.

“At the heart of everything we do is our clients,” said TJ Jorgensen, CEO at TJ21. “This award is a direct reflection of the businesses and community members who trust us with their stories, their brands, and their growth. We are incredibly grateful for that trust, and it inspires us to push further every day.”

TJ21 is here to empower businesses of all sizes, from emerging startups to long-standing enterprises, through innovative marketing and media solutions. This client-first approach has built lasting relationships and measurable success, making TJ21 not just a service provider but a partner in growth for the regional business community.

This Community Choice Award joins an impressive list of recent honors:

  • Top Video Production Company – Quality Business Awards, 2024
  • Community Votes Winner – 2023 and 2024 Platinum in Marketing and Advertisement, Platinum in Social Media Marketing in 2024, second in Advertising in 2024, third in Video Production in 2024 and Videographer.
  • Six-time “Best Advertising Agency” Winner – South Bend Tribune

Looking forward, TJ21 remains focused on crafting bold, effective campaigns that help businesses expand their reach while also strengthening the local economy.

“This recognition isn’t just for TJ21,” Allison Wolff, Director of Marketing at TJ21 added. “It’s for the entire community that continues to believe in us. We are excited to keep delivering the creativity, consistency, and results our clients deserve. We have to express our heartfelt gratitude to all who voted in this year’s awards!”
