Report
Whether you are looking to generate sales via social or to improve your brand image and connect with your target audience, it is hard to argue against the value social media can bring towards your business. It can be overwhelming for a business owner or marketing manager to determine which social channel will best suit its brand. Should the owner of a local hair salon utilize Instagram or Snapchat as its primary social channel? How can your e-commerce business increase and track sales on the most popular social channels? What will be the process to respond to a negative customer review at your restaurant via social in a timely manner?
Our team of experts will help get your company set up on all of the necessary channels while making a determination on strategy, spend, and focused targeting of users. Once you implement a strategy that pinpoints your target audience, gets people talking about your brand and serves as a robust customer service outlet, it will be easy to see the value social media marketing brings to your business.

I scheduled a call with Jason while searching for a Google Local Services Ads expert. The local services ad platform can be confusing, especially concerning when to archive or book or dispute. Jason reviewed our whole system and provided lots of good recommendations. Well worth the consultation fee.

Jason was so helpful to us when we truly needed assistance and had nowhere to turn. We reached out to him on a whim while experiencing an issue with one of our Google My Business accounts and, without knowing us at all, he seemed to drop everything to assist. Finding The Media Captain during a somewhat frantic Google search for help was a real find. Thank you so much for your help, Jason!

Working with the Media Captain team, particularly Alison, Lori, and Jason, far exceeded our expectations. We had an old website that needed to be completely redone, and The Media Captain did just that. The way they communicate with one another and with us is unparalleled, and it has even inspired our team to strive to be as effective communicators as theirs.
Because they were so successful with our website, we decided to use them for our marketing strategy as well. They have already outperformed our previous marketing agency. TMC, thank you so much!

We hired The Media Captain 2+ years ago after extensive research in trying to find the best company in SEO and strategy. Words cannot describe how great of a choice it was to hire them. We have had unbelievable results and 2+ years later we still have growth. The entire team at TMC are true professionals in their field and have an incredible sense of customer service. Jason, Alec, and the entire team have become a very important extension of our company. No matter what your industry, The Media Captain is the right choice.

We had used an agency previously and were less than thrilled with the results. We were skeptical going into this relationship due to our previous experience. We have been thrilled with the results that we are getting with The Media Captain. The revenue change has been really impressive and we enjoy working with them too!

I've been using The Media Captain for several months now and have been extremely happy with the digital marketing services they have provided. Alec, especially does a great job making sure our metrics are being tracked and is always prepared for our conference calls to go over our data. If there is ever anything that I have questions about or want to have tweaked he makes sure questions are answered and if another staff member needs to get involved he gathers their input as well!

Jason and his team at The Media Captain were first class throughout our whole experience. They customized our firm's new website and had all of the tools necessary to keep our Google rankings in tact from our old site. It was truly a seamless experience with Grade A customer service. Michelle was always available to speak with whenever we needed to discuss an edit and Katie was also always available to discuss design.
They designed our site and it looks clean and welcoming. Our firm quoted several other companies to build our new site and The Media Captain came in at the most reasonable price. They also completed the site by our original deadline. We couldn't ask for a more creative and caring team to work with.

Jason and Alec have been exceptional with their services to my law firm. I started with them in October 2018 and my experience has been nothing but stellar with The Media Captain. I meet by teleconference every 2 weeks with Alec to review the past, present and future of my marketing presence. They are very well-organized and highly responsive to my questions, inquiries, and needs.
I have been in business for 16+ years, and hands down this is the BEST online and website marketing team I have ever experienced. Simply stated, TMC is superb at their craft.

Hired The Media Captain to work on my e-commerce site, initial communication was great, then it faded, no regular updates, but they were definitely quick and regular about charging you for services. Their work is mediocre trust me, I had a simple store in mind nothing super complicated and custom in the end, I was not happy, if I had to do it over again they would not be the web design firm I would hire.

I have been working with Jason, Mike, and the Media Captain team since 2012. We started with video production (and a video project highlighting our dementia care program that won multiple national awards), and our partnership has evolved to include a full digital marketing strategy that has boosted our web site traffic and online referrals by 1400%.
Our Amedisys team values the partnership with the Media Captain greatly, and Jason and his team feel like true extensions of our employee family. Professional, responsive, talented, collaborative, and insightful. We really couldn't ask for more. Highly recommend!

Well, I guess the captain has jumped the ship, since no response and apparently his crew has abandoned their oars. Looks like from the outside world your ship is sinking. Sorry to take up your time to reach out over months. Love the live Chat, or lack of it. Like the broken links in your page. Nice waste of time and energy.

These guys are good. Really good. It's tough to explain how many Digital Marketing companies I've spoken with/interviewed/hired/fired. I was determined to get it right this time and, after two months, I can say that I hit a homer with The Media Captain. Our company, UB Commercial, is a B2B roofing company and it's incredibly important that we show up in the local search for Columbus, OH.
I explained this goal to Jason, Alex & Taylor and they have really produced results in a short period of time. We've still got work to do, but I understand what their strategy is and, more importantly, it makes sense. They keep me involved, ask the right questions about my company, properly allocate PPC dollars and their customer service is fantastic.
Highly recommended. For the first time ever, we are getting real results from our Digital Marketing strategy... not just numbers on a sheet of paper showing us the clicks we got. Call these guys.

Signed with The Media Captain earlier this year. So far it has been incredible. We have tried others in the past and did not have much success with SEO. What I find best is the attention to detail and the constant interaction with my company in regards to getting better. Also did a great job on a new website for us!
Chris Williard
The Media Captain has implemented well-thought and measurable strategies to grow our new business and online presence. With the help of The Media Captain, we are looking forward to increased ROI as we continue with their growth strategy recommendations. I completely trust the direction of Jason Parks and his team.

Our agency has been working with The Media Captain for a year now and we are thrilled with the results. They have been exceptionally helpful in increasing our web positioning and utilizing our paid ads in the most beneficial way. What I have enjoyed the most is the wealth of information they have shared with us and the fact that they are totally transparent in how they spend our advertising dollars.
They have taught us so much about how all of the technical aspects of advertising work and have explained it in a way that we, as non-tech people can understand. As a result I give them an A+ for patience as well!! TMC also recently completed a total redesign of our website and we've already seen positive results! I would strongly encourage anyone looking for a marketing agency to contact Jason and his team.

As a digital marketer with over 6 years of experience in SEO it was very difficult to hire an agency to help move the needle for our business. The reluctance I felt was overcome when I met Jason and his team at The Media Captain. Their understanding of the key components that make up a successful SEO strategy and ability to stay current on trends made hiring them one of the best decisions I have made in my professional career.
David Jarvis
Jason and his team have been managing our advertising campaigns for about 8 months now. They keep me up to date on what is going on with changes in the way Google ranks your pages and they supply monthly progress reports. Our company has seen explosive growth with our online presence lately. We appreciate their diligence and hard work. I would recommend them to anyone looking for an all-in-one marketing company.
