Affiliated Media

Affiliated Media, based in Portland, works on the media side of advertising rather than the creative side alone, covering digital placements alongside traditional mediums like TV, radio, and out-of-home. The firm handles the creation, production, and purchasing of advertising for clients across a range of businesses and industries throughout the west. Staff come from backgrounds spent working behind the scenes inside the media business itself, rather than on the agency or client side exclusively.

The arrangement differs from typical agency billing: clients aren't charged monthly retainers or hourly fees, and no contract is required to work with the firm. Affiliated Media positions its purchasing leverage as a direct benefit passed to clients when buying media space and time. Services center on media planning and buying, out-of-home media, and audio and podcast advertising, spanning both digital and traditional channels for businesses that need advertising bought and placed without a long-term commitment attached.
