about old city media

Old City Media sits at the intersection of two powerful needs: regional and national home improvement brands looking for qualified leads, and retailers looking for new revenue from the foot traffic they already have.

Leads at Retail is our turnkey in-store activation program for home improvement brands. We place trained brand ambassadors inside high-traffic retail and grocery locations to engage homeowners, build credibility, and capture qualified leads on-site. With over 100,000 activations executed to date, we've built the infrastructure, the retail relationships, and the playbook to scale market by market.

Through our In-Store Partners program, we work directly with retailers to deploy brand activation programs that drive non-retail revenue, increase gift card volume, and create measurable value without adding headcount or operational burden.

Whether you're a home improvement brand looking to generate qualified leads in new markets or a retailer looking to unlock new revenue from the foot traffic you already have, Old City Media has a program built for you. Reach out to learn how Leads at Retail or In-Store Partnerships can work for your business.

  • Old City Media specializes in in-store brand activations — connecting home improvement brands with qualified homeowners and helping retailers generate non-retail revenue from the foot traffic they already have. We operate two programs: Leads at Retail for brands, and In-Store Partners for retailers.

  • Over 20 years. We've spent two decades building and refining experiential marketing programs across retail and grocery environments, from Major League Baseball stadiums to national big-box chains.

  • Over 100,000 successful brand activations (and counting) to date across our retail and grocery partner network.

  • Most experiential marketing companies focus on one side of the equation — the brand. Old City Media built a model that works for everyone in the building: the brand gets qualified leads, the retailer gets non-retail revenue, and the shopper gets a gift card and a positive experience. That three-way value proposition is what's driven 100% five-star Google reviews from our partners.

  • On the brand side we work with regional and national home improvement and home services companies. On the retail side we partner with large-format retailers and grocery chains including Walmart, Ace Hardware, Giant Eagle, Forman Mills, and others.

  • We operate across multiple regions nationwide with an expanding retail partner network. Contact us to find out if your target market or retail locations are currently available.
