TEC is instrumental to many of the projects at Croshal Entertainment Group and the achievements of our clients! We love working with them, they are professional and personable. We are so grateful to have a continuing relationship with Chuck and his staff members. We HIGHLY recommend their expertise to anyone who is looking for an advertising company that is also hands on through the entire process.

TEC Direct Media has helped us on several projects, and has been instrumental in helping our agency learn the ropes about programmatic and all things digital. We're always learning new things about digital for our clients, and TEC Direct has always been there when we have a question. They have helped us on two projects in 2016, and each of those were successful and those clients will continue with us in 2017. We consider TEC Direct a strategic partner. D. DeFreeuw, President, Force 5

Chuck and his media agency team are amazing, attentive, and truly care about how to help your brand reach their diverse media planning and buying goals. Being from Chicago and working on the West Coast, I knew if I hired a team from Chicago, they would go the extra mile and work harder than anyone else to deliver on strategy. TEC Direct did just that for our brand for the last 3 years and counting. They are ahead of the curve on the ever changing landscape and they take the time to educate their clients on what is new and how each specific tactic contributes to the total strategy. They helped us at SLS with direct response, digital planning and buying, programmatic TV buying, Out of Home, and constantly provided us new options to test if we were willing to help us reach our goals. I knew they had our back, I could trust them to manage us when needed, and get the job done no matter how big or small the budgets. If you want a crew to seamlessly dovetail into your organization, then TEC Direct should be on RFP list.

TEC-Direct has become a strong stategic partner for Curro, Rankin & Williams. As a marketing firm we've come to rely on their innovative thinking and knowledge of the digital media buying industry. We've used TEC for a number of digital direct targeting programs for our clients and each time preformance has surpassed expectations. I highly recommend.
