 We began as a creative advertising boutique, and became a metamorphosis of our client's needs. Our media buying club concept began in 2002 as a webpage to make ad space buying easier and cheaper for 35 clients of our original ad agency. We built the first online Media Store, and the concept grew into a company in 2003.
Today, MediaBuys is America's largest media buying club. It has matured to over 1150+ buying members (with thousands of advertisers) and 3,750+ media vehicles representing millions of dollars in available discounted media space (including Television, Radio, Newspaper, Magazine, Out-of-Home, Cinema, Interactive and Sponsorships).
MediaBuys partners with major networks, publishers and independent ad sellers including AFM who brings us such high profile accounts as the Latin GRAMMY® Awards, the GRAMMY® Awards, Entertainment Industry Foundation's GRAMMY® Jam, MusiCares® Person of the Year, the Broadcast Film Critics Association's Critics' Choice Awards®, and the Sundance Film Festival®.

Many of our buying members (60% ad agencies) oversee branding budgets which has allowed us to also pursue sponsorship opportunities for many event producers. And in 2006, MediaBuys became the agency of record for the City of New Orleans to sell Mardi Gras Sponsorships. We signed Glad Products as the City's very first sponsor in Mardi Gras' 150 year history.
Our sponsorship relationships have grown into an online portal housing dozens of unique opportunities such as boxer Winky Wright, the Hollywood Symphony Orchestra, Sweet Sounds of Liberty Concert for the City of Philadelphia, the RKO Film Series, the USA Triathlon, Minor League Baseball, PGA Tour, the Louisville Zoo and USDAA's Cynosport World Games (where we signed World Champion and Gold Medal Olympian Bruce Jenner as the event's televised host).
