STRATEGY-FIRST,
HUMAN CENTRIC.
OUR STORY
Represent Media Studios was founded in May 2025 by former colleagues Ashley Conyers and Madelyn Clarke. They met in 2018 as colleagues at the marketing department of a multi million dollar security company, midway through established marketing careers. Both later left the corporate world and launched their own strategy and marketing consulting businesses.
In 2025 they joined forces to fix marketing's biggest flaw: it's treated as a tactic for faster sales instead of the strategy that shapes the entire business.
Today we're a team of 6, backed by a network of 15+ partner designers, videographers and photographers across Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sacramento. Our team has held C-suite and leadership roles, with 50+ years of combined experience.
Not another marketing agency
Strategy-first
Growth comes from strategy backed by due diligence, market research and human psychology. Think mini-McKinsey meets marketing. Execution without a deep understanding of your market, industry and customers is expensive guesswork. We build growth systems from the business level up.
Human-centric
We're anti-AI by design. Creative is a human process, so to protect quality, measurable ROI and your intellectual property, we don't use AI internally or externally.
Creative always
Strategy tells us what to make. Premium design and creative direction make people stop, look and act.
Our mission is simple: deliver results-driven marketing, branding, and event solutions that make brands unforgettable. With backgrounds spanning multiple companies and sectors, we've united around one shared mission: to deliver strategic, results-driven creative content marketing and solutions that makes brands unforgettable.
We combine creative excellence with executive-level insight to help businesses grow, connect, and thrive in a crowded digital world.

The RMS Framework
Five stages that turn deep market understanding into content and campaigns that move customers. Then the cycle starts again.
1
Discovery, research & trend analysis
We learn your industry and market inside and out until we're your industry experts: your competitors, your customers, emerging trends and how people move through the buyer journey.
2
Strategic foundation
That research becomes your positioning and strategy. It sets the why, how, where and what of everything we produce and launch.
3
Creative development
Using the strategic foundation and blending in behavioral science and cognitive psychology, we implement creative direction and premium design to make work that triggers action.
4
Execution & launch
We blend behavioral science and cognitive psychology with creative direction and premium design to make work that triggers action.
5
Performance & optimization
We blend behavioral science and cognitive psychology with creative direction and premium design to make work that triggers action.
Optimization isn't the finish line. Even a fully optimized campaign gets a constant eye on industry shifts, consumer behavior and the customer journey, so you stay ahead of every trend.
