Helen Thompson Media & Marketing was originally built on traditional media over 22 years ago. HTMM’s planning and buying team has always been selected from elite, award winning planners and buyers from across the country. The current media team consists of eight members who are solely dedicated to planning, buying and negotiating media for clients. With our research tools, vast media knowledge, experience and past successes, HTMM is able to put your message in front of the right people, at the right time and in the right media on the first try. With such strong credentials, vendor relationships and team members, HTMM can implement, change, tweak or cancel any programs quickly, efficiently and effectively. And although our roots are in San Antonio, HTMM places over $40 Million annually in mass, new and emerging media.
 
HTMM also delivers a tremendous amount of added value. We pride ourselves on the best rates and consistently deliver rates 20-30% lower than published rates (SQAD) in any market across the country. We negotiate hard for added value elements and regularly demand and receive live interviews and segments, bonus spots, outdoor board, bonus months, editorial in newsprint and magazines, posting and tweets by editorial staff on vendor social media sites, blog postings, web opportunities, cross promotions with paired clients, free production, sponsorships, and so much more.
