We embrace and respect team members of all religious beliefs. Everyone is welcome here.

As followers of Jesus Christ, Danette Amstein and Michael Uetz, the principals of Midan Marketing, strive to live in a manner consistent with the precepts and doctrines of their faith which are grounded in the Bible, and operate Midan Marketing in accordance with these principles.

The right to disagree with the statements reflecting their beliefs is one that is protected under law, as is exercising one’s own right to believe — and one we uphold earnestly.
