Our approach

Operators.
Not consultants.

Before founding Keel, our team ran 20+ media companies across consumer, tech, defense, and nonprofit sectors. We didn't advise on campaigns. We ran them. That accountability comes with every engagement.

Principals run
every account.

The principals run your account. Always.

The people who pitch you are the people who do the work, week one and week fifty-two. No hand-offs. No junior teams. When you call, you're calling the people building your strategy.

Same
incentives.

Our incentives match your incentives.

We don't take commissions on media spend. What we recommend is what we believe will perform, not what pays us more on the back end. The plan you see is the plan we'd run if your results were our results.

Every
category.

We've run media across every category.

Consumer. Tech. Defense. Nonprofit. B2B. 20+ media companies between us. The fundamentals don't change with the vertical. The judgment does.

Compounds
over time.

The work compounds over time.

Strategy gets sharper when the same people carry context across every brief, every campaign, every market shift. Institutional knowledge that never resets.

What we do

Two service lines.
One team.

We buy, place, run, and optimize every week. No exceptions. And we build the content, authority, and relationships that compound over time. Same principals. Both lines.

Line 01

Media &
Execution.

We buy, place, run, and optimize. Every week. No exceptions.

i.

Strategy & Planning

Multi-channel plans built around how your audience decides. CTV, paid social, programmatic, OOH, digital.

ii.

Buying & Placement

The people who planned it place it. No buying desk. No team that doesn't know your account.

iii.

Campaign Management

Full operational oversight. Trafficking, vendors, assets, schedules. Same people start to finish.

Line 02

Content &
Authority.

The channels that build reputation, open doors, and generate inbound.

i.

Thought Leadership

Editorial strategy, ghostwriting, LinkedIn programs, op-ed placement, by people who ran editorial at scale.

ii.

Reporting & Optimization

Weekly reviews, monthly analysis, quarterly sessions. Clear recommendations from the principals. Not summaries.

iii.

Research & Intimate Events

Proprietary research, case studies, curated dinners of 8 to 12 senior decision-makers. Proof points paid media can't manufacture.

Where we work

We're sector-agnostic. But we go deeper in a few that matter.

Our team came up running consumer publications, tech media, defense and veteran outlets, and nonprofit campaigns. 20+ media companies between us. That range is the point.

Where we go deeper than most: the veteran and defense community. Our advisory network includes Medal of Honor recipients, Paralympic veterans, and senior defense executives.

If results matter, we'll do the work. The vertical is secondary to the standard.
