A Note About our Founder, Barbara Bridge (1955-2012)

Barbara Bridge founded Maryland Marketing Source, Inc. in 1986. When Maryland Marketing Source, Inc. opened its doors, having a computer was considered high tech. Telephones were cumbersome and dialed by hand, paper surveys where shipped across the country, and the company's first employees had to sit on the floor. Barbara's professionalism and tenacity allowed Maryland Marketing Source, Inc. to continuously grow and expand, keeping up with technological and methodological advancements.


Barbara had worked more than 30 years in the industry, and she certainly left her mark on the market research world. Presiding over her own company for 25 years, Barbara's vision, expertise, and integrity have cultivated a deep-rooted commitment to quality and service that has stood MMS out as a leader among research companies, and will forever guide the way we operate.


Barbara was a remarkable woman who touched many lives, both personally and professionally. She is greatly missed.
