Our Culture
Headquartered in Chicago, our small office culture breeds a true team spirit — and we need one because the media industry is fast-paced with no two days the same.
While we’re pretty damn good at planning, buying and optimizing media campaigns, we don’t pretend to know it all — the media landscape is evolving daily and we are constantly learning about new media and the technology that surrounds it. We’ve developed our own integrated media management software to manage all media options and help us deliver on the accountability we believe our clients deserve.
We work in an un-siloed environment where sharing ideas and encouraging each other is in our DNA. While we may joke around from time to time there are no competing interests or turf wars. We are here to solve problems together, drive results, make our clients successful and along the way have an amazing journey filled with some laughs.
We care. We hold ourselves accountable and rely on each other when deadlines are mounting and media needs to be managed. Each team player is encouraged to fly solo and soar with their strengths so they can bring their expertise to our team.
Our Values
Collaboration
We believe the best media plans are a combination of experience, time and talent (yours and ours).
Accuracy
No mistakes. We take pride in doing a job the right way. Our proprietary tools also help ensure that media investments stay on track.
Strategy
We are media strategists and there’s no winning without a strategic plan in place.
Relationships
Relationships drive business forward. We grow and maintain meaningful relationships across the industry.
Education
Media is evolving and so are we. Our staff completes ongoing education and training in all media channels to stay at the top of our industry. And we are eager to share our knowledge with you.
Responsiveness
When we’re your media partner, you can expect swift and thoughtful responses.
Efficiency
Whether we’re buying your media or improving a process to drive a result, efficiency is at the heart of everything we do.
Effectiveness
We want you to be successful so we’ll begin every media plan with a simple question. What’s the desired result you’re looking to achieve? Getting to your intended destination may take a few steps or various solutions but you can expect us to be well equipped to help get you there.
