How we help our clients move forward.

Martinez Media & Marketing Group was founded in 2020 by Ray and Stacy with a clear goal: build a team that fills the gaps and gets things done.

Today, our team brings more than 80 years of combined experience across marketing strategy, content creation, multimedia production and event execution. We’ve worked with for-profit businesses, nonprofits, associations and government organizations across the United States and internationally.

The team members highlighted below represent our core, day-to-day team. In addition, we partner with a trusted network of experts to support execution across graphic design, web design, animation, voice over and more.

Together, we’re built to handle whatever your team needs, whether that’s leading the work or stepping in to support it.

Our team understands what it’s like to sit in your seat. We’ve worked on internal teams and as external partners, which shapes how we approach every engagement.

We start by building a clear understanding of your business, your audience and your goals. From there, we partner with you to define a plan that makes sense for your team.

Then we execute.

You tell us where your team is focused, and we step in to fill the gaps so everything moves forward together.
