About us

Strategic Media was founded in June 2000 with the mindset that success was the only option. The team we built has carried that mentality forward with each new day, new hire, and new opportunity. We remind each other not take anything for granted – work-related or not – and firmly believe this little reminder has helped us all push through and work harder each day than we did the day before to provide for ourselves, our families, and the clients we serve. It’s by no accident that we have created one of the best direct and brand response audio agencies in the country.

We are an animated group of individuals united in one goal: To drive the best possible ROI for you.

Our direct response model is based on tracking every lead with clear, concise data. Data transparency and open communication offer our clients a precise look at how their ad dollars are working for them, and we don’t consider ourselves successful until our clients reach their goals.
