Who We Are

DIY Media's humble beginnings was in a small apartment in Seattle's Pioneer Square neighborhood back in 2006. Working around the clock for many days and nights, with the smell of teriyaki chicken constantly in the air from the restaurant below we created our first social commerce product the DIY Music Platform.

We have since taken that same technology that helped indie artists and labels reach fans on social sites and have introduced it to the advertising world with the simple goal of helping brands advertise to consumers with the focus on social networks.

DIY Media's corporate office is located in Seattle with offices in Charlotte and India. Give us a call and let us help you with your social advertising needs.
