No long-term agency contracts required! We’re just not that insecure! First, we work with you to develop a comprehensive project plan. Pricing is straightforward and easy to understand.

Success is so exhilarating!

The Blood Alliance | TV/30
We licensed “Still the One” by the band Orleans for the Blood Alliance’s anniversary campaign and had lead singer Larry Hoppen change and re-sing some of the lyrics. We then secured a Chevy Silverado, donated by a local dealership, for use as a donor incentive. Donations grew substantially during the promotion, and the Gift of Life blood drive in this version of the spot drew over 450 donors.
Turner Pest Control – Wooden Boxes | TV/30
Not your typical pest control commercial! This is one in a series of six animated ads that ran on TV and Web. The adjacent Radio campaign featured personal endorsements from the area’s top personalities. Creative that stands out, and a solid media strategy is always a winning combo.

Want a cohesive multi-platform advertising plan? That’s our specialty!
Hello and thanks for visiting. Chances are, you're here because you are interested in advertising to grow your business. We think you’ve come to the right place.
When I started 30 Second Street Media back in 2004, I was working in TV and Radio ad sales, where I learned the inside tricks to maximizing station profits. I found the goals of the station – increasing revenue while minimizing production costs – to be directly opposed to the goals of our clients!
Advertisers needed someone with the inside knowledge and ability to guide them beyond the common pitfalls of advertising. So, I jumped the fence and started 30 Second Street Media. Today we are in over 150 markets in 36 states. Our goal is to deliver thoughtful, well tested, and skillfully produced creative and a rock-solid media strategy every time. We love helping our clients. Let’s see what we can do together!
