WE WANT TO EMPOWER YOUR MEDIA STRATEGY.

We use our decades of advertising experience, half-billion dollar buying power, automation, data science, and powerful software to transform how mid-market companies get the most out of their advertising budgets. You can trust us to streamline your media strategy and execution – so you look good for the great results you’ll get.

OUR PURPOSE.

DEMOCRATIZE ADVERTISING EXPERIENCE SO MID-MARKET COMPANIES CAN SUCCEED AND GROW.

OUR STORY.

We know your time and media budget is finite, while media mix combinations can seem infinite. Managing all the media channels, their different assets and schedules – it can be overwhelming.

Advertising is increasingly complex, decentralized, and difficult to attribute effectiveness.

Big companies can employ big teams to solve these problems, but what about mid-market companies?

How we began

Founded in 2018, Media Agent is backed by Empower, a nationally acclaimed media agency. For over three decades, Empower has been a leading media and digital advertising agency with extensive industry experience across more than 600 brands in multiple categories, including retail, CPG, manufacturing, healthcare, restaurant, travel & tourism, Direct-to-Consumer, pharma, finance, personal services, and more.

What we have achieved

Known for our future-focused innovation and data-driven approach to advertising, Empower has been recognized by leading industry news outlets as one of the top agencies in the United States, including accolades from Ad Age, Campaign US, and MediaPost’s Media Agency of the Year.

How we are doing

Our 225+ employees span the country, with main offices in Cincinnati, Chicago, and Atlanta. They have deep strategic planning, media buying, data and analytics experience, and manage over $500 million in placements on their clients’ behalf.
