Not your typical web design agency

From a Chance Encounter...
Christmas 2001, Mike Robinson was visiting family in Montreal, Quebec, when a family friend began talking about the prospect of buying a Canadian business. Talk of the relatively strong U.S. dollar, and other socio-economic factors made it apparent that Canada could be an excellent place to build a business able to offer great quality and savings to a U.S. market. This idea had occurred to Mike before, who had grown up in Montreal but was now an Art Director at a web design agency near his native Philadelphia, PA. Web and multimedia design seemed to be a natural for this cross-boarder opportunity with no worry of taxes or tariff's and a strong technology community in Canada from which to draw.

Building an Agency - Building a Network
Mike's hands-on knowledge of the web and print design business made him a wise consumer when he went looking for Canadian web design and multimedia agencies to bring into the fold. He demanded that the design agency display specialized skills and share his passion for bringing smart marketing and business solutions to clients.

As a fifteen year veteran of the design and marketing business, Mike had grown weary of seeing websites, brochures and ads that lacked the forethought to be truly successful. He set out to develop a network of resources that could offer the most cost-effective, cost-efficient marketing tools that would maximize his client's ROI.

Coming Together
By the summer of 2002, all the pieces were coming together. Montreal based, Montreal Media had become a cornerstone strategic partner, excelling in many facets of web design and multimedia development, while Mike and a growing network of local project coordinators were busy supporting our clients in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey areas.

The First Year
The Mainline Media message struck a chord with Philadelphia businesses and agencies alike. In our first year, we focused on working with Philadelphia / New Jersey based marketing and design agencies that have come to recognize us as a valuable support partner. We brought cost-effective Internet research, web promotion, and back-end programming to Philadelphia agencies that were eager to expand their service offering to their clients.

You Haven't Seen Nothin' Yet
But Mainline Media doesn't plan on being your typical agency. We continue to strive for the most cost-effective, cost-efficient marketing solutions for our clients. And like any good business, we have the power to evolve as technologies change and opportunities arise. We already have an impressive list of expert services and solutions, but we are always investigating new tools, new strategies and new partners that can keep our clients supplied with "Great results".
