“PTM quickly proved they were the right partner. After nearly two decades together, their consistency, service, and strategic leadership continue to support our growth across multiple markets. They've earned our trust year after year.”
President, Regional Home Services Company
“PTM’s creativity and budget discipline have been invaluable—especially in challenging economic times. They never miss a deadline and continually secure opportunities we simply couldn’t access on our own. They offer the close attention of a boutique agency, yet leverage connections you’d expect from a national firm. That balance makes them an ideal partner.”
President, National Restaurant & Events Group
"Best business decision I ever made."
Founder & Owner, Major Midwest Attraction

How We Work
Finding the right media agency means finding a partner you trust to deliver results and stay accountable along the way. We work closely with our clients to align strategy, execution, and performance around what truly drives their business forward. Our relationships are long standing because our focus is consistent. We bring senior-level thinking, hands-on support, and clear communication to every engagement.
Whether you need full-service media planning and buying, or a partner to complement your internal team, we stay responsive, thoughtful, and focused on outcomes that matter.
Ready for media that works as hard as you do?
1. Strategy First. Always.
We start by getting clear on what success looks like for your business, not just your campaign. We ask the right questions, audit what’s working (and what’s not), and build a media plan rooted in outcomes, not assumptions.
2. Full-Funnel, Cross-Channel
We don’t silo strategy by channel. From broadcast and OOH to programmatic and paid social, every tactic works in concert toward your goals. Our plans are integrated, efficient, and built to flex with the market.
3. National Scale, Local Precision
We’ve executed thousands of campaigns across major metros and small DMAs. Whether you’re scaling regionally or customizing locally, we activate the right inventory, at the right time, in the right places.
4. True Team Continuity
The people you meet in the pitch are the same ones who do the work. Our team stays involved and accountable from the start, ensuring consistency and context that lead to long-term success.
5. Real-Time Responsiveness
Your media plan doesn’t live in a vacuum. We keep a pulse on pacing, inventory shifts, market trends, and creative performance so we can adjust early. You’ll never be left wondering where things stand.
6. Transparent Reporting & Optimization
We provide clean, consistent reporting that ties back to business KPIs. Whether we’re driving ticket sales, growing leads, or boosting visibility, we’re laser-focused on measurable impact and continuous improvement.
Results
Accelerating ecommerce growth and new-market expansion at national scale
Multi-Market Furniture Retailer
We led multi-market media buying for a furniture retailer across 21 DMAs, driving both in-store demand and double-digit ecommerce growth while supporting expansion into new markets. Through a custom integrated approach that combined broadcast, cable + streaming, radio, and out-of-home with market-specific insights, we helped accelerate awareness and performance in newly launched regions while strengthening results in established markets. The result was reliable performance at scale, successful new-market entry, and a media framework built to support long-term retail expansion.
208 percent conversion growth on just 5 percent more budget
Global Financial Services Firm
By blending evergreen search with seasonal paid social and programmatic, we more than doubled conversions while holding spend nearly flat. The result was more efficient lead generation and sustained performance in a highly competitive category.
26 percent more leads with 18 percent lower cost per call
Multi-Location Home Services
A multi-location HVAC brand needed stronger seasonal performance. We aligned paid search, programmatic, and mobile targeting with local weather patterns and service demand. Lead volume increased while acquisition costs dropped significantly.
