Thank you

Since I started my media sales firm in November 1984, there have been many challenges including wars, a great recession, and a pandemic.  But we get by with a little help from our friends, so I wanted to pause for a moment to thank all of our clients, employees, associates and other friends who have made our success possible.  We could not have done it without you, and you have my heartfelt thanks.

It was a different world in 1984: no Amazon (est. 1994), Google (est. 1998), or Meta (est. 2004).  The first iPhone wouldn’t be sold until June 2007.

A lot of big things were starting to happen in 1984.  Apple launched Macintosh, the first commercial computer to popularize the graphical user interface and the mouse.  AT&T was restructured, and communications technology options blossomed. The Internet would soon begin accepting commercial traffic and the stage was set for development of today’s media environment. 

In 1984, who would have guessed digital technologies would become such a huge part of our lives and that we would all become so comfortable with digital media, eNewsletters, webinars, brand studios, social media, podcasts, OTT/CTV, smart-everything and so much more. We’re eager to discover what new media options the future holds and to move forward with you.

Thank you for being with us on this exciting journey.
