About Us

At Vector Media, we’re building the future of Mobility Marketing, where media moves with people, meets them in real life, and makes a lasting impression.

Our high-impact media, including fully wrapped double decker buses and custom designed experiential experiences, turn heads in cities nationwide.  And with assets in 50+ markets, we bring campaigns to life across communities, cultures, and coasts.  Our experiential team allows us to activate anywhere in the country.

Vector Media’s wide variety from double decker buses, light rail, digital bus shelters and a wide variety of experiential assets enables brands to connect with consumers at the street-level in cities, college campuses and sporting events.  We connect brands with audiences in the moments that matter most.

But what truly sets us apart is how we show up: as partners. With our clients. With our media partners. With each other. Through accountability, innovation, and shared ambition, we’re helping brands do more than reach people, we’re helping them move people.

• Accountability: Taking ownership of our actions, learning from mistakes, and earning trust through responsibility.
• Growth: Supporting personal and professional development, knowing that when our team members thrive, the company thrives.
• Excellence: Always striving for the best possible results and never settling for “good enough”.
