I am always impressed with the team’s responsiveness and trust them with our campaigns.”

  • “For more than a decade, I worked closely with Robertstemler Media as I served in various communication and marketing roles at UC San Diego. The RSM team is second to none when it comes to customer service and knowledge of the local, regional and national media markets. They have built personal relationships at many media outlets that serve them and their clients well. Their planning process is highly interactive, and they are very clear communications throughout. For every buy, with every vendor they advocate for their client to obtain optimal rates and added value opportunities. They work very well with in-house ad third-party creative teams to fulfill art requirements. And their reporting practice is flexible enough to adapt to different audiences and to integrate external metrics. They are also delightful to work with!”
