MCKAY ADVERTISING + ACTIVATION

Tampa Bay & Florida’s First Digital Media Agency

OUR STORY

Formed in 2005, our advertising strategies have always been rooted in strategy and guided by data. In 2009, we set our sights on digital media and reoriented our focus toward programmatic advertising. With the shift, we immersed ourselves into data analytics and in turn, developed more accurate performance forecasts for our customers. The strong focus on technology and data has refined our media capabilities and has given us the ability to generate higher ROI’s for our customers.

DIGITAL MEDIA CAMPAIGNS

Using programmatic tools, we go down the sales funnel with a client to see how we can best activate their website and our campaign effectively enough to drive the results that our client desires.

OUR VISION

There are agencies who stand in front of you. They are worried about the creative discussion, the optics of your competitive situation, but are not in touch with ROI, revenues, and business outcomes. There are agencies who stand behind you that are just worried about ROI and last touch attribution from their search campaigns.

Then there’s MA+A who stands shoulder to shoulder with you and guides you through the new era in marketing. The era that involves full channel customer journey design, CX, design fulfillment, ROI & live reporting tools. With supporting technology, to understand and fulfill your customer’s needs ahead of your competitors, MA+A is your equal. Our client’s success is our success.
