The Extra Medium team working around a table beneath a sticky-note board

The studio

Whatever the medium. Make it matter.

We do the right thing, in order. Strategy, creative, growth and technology, practiced together by one small senior team.

Launch

For things that don’t exist yet, or haven’t been introduced properly. Positioning, naming, brand identity, website, go-to-market and product launch — shaped as one arc, because launching something nobody has searched for yet is a different sport.

Reinvent

For businesses that moved faster than their brand. Brand strategy, rebranding, messaging and website redesign that close the gap between what the business became and what the market still thinks it is — without starting from zero.

Grow

Growth marketing with an owner. Paid media, SEO and AI search, ecommerce and Shopify growth, lifecycle and creator channels — run as one system against revenue, not separate campaigns reporting vanity numbers.

Lead

Fractional CMO leadership for businesses that need a senior marketing brain without another permanent executive seat. Plus executive and personal branding for the founders and physicians leading them.

Intelligence

AI consulting, AI agents and automation that connect how a company actually operates — not another unused tool. Applied AI across marketing, reporting, creative development and workflow, wired into the business instead of demoed at it.

Experiences

Podcasts, events and experiential marketing — the things people are still talking about a year later. Strategy and production for shows and moments that build a reputation, not just reach.

How engagements work

No giant process.

You tell us what’s going on. We ask questions. We figure out whether we can actually help. If we can, we tell you what the right engagement looks like. If we can’t, we tell you that too.

Fractional leadership

Senior marketing leadership, embedded, without adding a permanent executive seat. For founder-led and high-growth companies.

Shape 02

Project

A defined problem, launch or build with a clear beginning and end — scoped after the first conversation, priced with a clear range.

Studio questions

Before you ask.

How much does it cost to work with Extra Medium?

It depends on the shape. Fractional leadership is a monthly engagement, projects are scoped with a clear price range after the first conversation, and ongoing growth work is a monthly system with one owner. We do not publish a rate card because the honest price follows the actual problem — the first conversation is free and specific.

How fast can a launch or rebrand ship?

Focused launches and rebrands typically run in weeks, not quarters, because one senior team owns strategy, creative and build together with no handoffs. Exact timing is set in the first conversation once the destination is clear.

Do you only work with Virginia Beach companies?

No. Extra Medium is headquartered in Virginia Beach, Virginia, with presence in Chicago and London, and clients across the US and UK. Most engagements run remotely with in-person time when it matters.

What makes you different from a typical agency?

Three things: every engagement is led personally by the founder; the team is senior-only with no account-manager telephone game; and the studio builds its own products in Extra Medium Labs — led by SIGNL — so its advice is tested on its own money first.

Let’s talk

What are you trying to make happen?

Don’t know exactly what you need? Good. That’s our job. Tell us where the business is headed and we’ll tell you honestly whether we can help — and if we can’t, who might.

Usually replies within one business day.
