Virginia Media

Based in Norfolk, Virginia Media is a digital advertising and print publication company serving businesses across Virginia and the Outer Banks. The agency operates alongside a portfolio of regional print brands, including The Virginian-Pilot, Daily Press, Virginia Gazette, Tidewater Review, and Inside Business, and states it draws on decades of experience working with businesses in the region. Its team size falls in the 1-10 range, and it positions itself as combining established print publishing relationships with newer digital advertising capabilities rather than leading purely with media placement. The agency's declared services span Search Engine Optimization, advertising, marketing strategy, public relations, and video production, delivered through a stated digital solutions portfolio that includes Search Engine Marketing (SEM), paid social media, owned-and-operated and third-party display advertising, programmatic advertising, email marketing, WordPress website development, and contests and promotions. Virginia Media describes an approach built on using consumer insights and research to shape a tailored messaging mix for each client rather than applying a single formula, aiming to match the right combination of print and digital resources to a business's audience. The company also references multicultural marketing considerations, including diversity, equity, and inclusion principles, as part of how it approaches audience targeting and message development. It also organizes or participates in regional business-recognition events, such as Healthcare Heroes and Top Forty Under 40, alongside its core advertising and publishing work.
