424 Media was founded to give Hampton Roads and Mid-Atlantic brands the same programmatic firepower as national holding-company agencies — without the markup or the runaround.
424 — the area code that covers Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and the rest of Hampton Roads — is where our founders grew up watching local businesses get sold expensive media plans they couldn't measure. We started 424 Media to fix that: an agency that buys media the way a trading desk does, with full transparency into every dollar, every DSP, and every result.
Today we manage campaigns for clients across the country, but we kept the agency headquartered downtown, two blocks from the Elizabeth River, because being close to our clients keeps us honest about what's actually working.
Clients see the same dashboards we do — full visibility into spend, fees, placements, and performance.
We don't outsource media buying. Every campaign is built and optimized by our Norfolk-based team.
We're not paid more to push one channel over another, so recommendations are built around outcomes, not inventory we need to move.
