Michael Lash


Founder and President
Starting the business with only $100 and learning over the years that your personal business grows when you help others he quickly began reaching out to those in need and began growing and doubling businesses. He recognized the value in building meaningful relationships with his clients and thus it allowed for growth on all fronts. Mike’s goal was and continues to be to turn no one away and make any budget work. Mike started in radio and T.V back in the late 80’s as an account executive for KOSI Radio and Channel 17 in Columbus, Ohio. Mike had a hands-on experience and learned that all medias are very negotiable. Clients over the years have experienced much success through Mike’s media buys because he oversees each buy personally. One thing lead to another and he soon learned the ins and outs of the print world and became an expert in direct mail and print media. He has created and mailed millions of pieces and is considered a “sage” in the printing and direct mail industry. Over the past five years Mike has concentrated many of his efforts on Internet advertising along with planning and preparing marketing plans for hundreds of businesses. He has built his agency on one account at a time, no matter the size or dollars spent.
