Gloria Smith, owner of The Media Connection, Rochester, NY

founded on
the power of different


From our humble beginnings in 1996, we saw a need for an agency that serves clients differently. Since that time, our goal has always been to give service beyond the expected. That is why we think and do things differently.

We don’t do different just for the sake of it. Different is a strategic mindset that gives our clients the edge in today’s challenging and ever-evolving marketplace.

As a native of the Rochester, New York and Finger Lakes region, and with decades of experience in media sales, management, and marketing, Gloria Smith brings a unique perspective to clients. When you work with Gloria you are working with a marketing expert, who along with her team and partners, work-on-one one with business owners, marketing directors, and other advertising agencies in developing targeted media buys and customized marketing strategies that deliver results. Our marketing solutions and campaigns are based on the needs of the client. Not the need of our agency.

We know today, more than ever before, clients have lofty goals with limited budgets. We stay within your budget, while always working to exceed your expectations. That’s why we’re different. Contact us and tell us your goals.
