About Us
Ways & Means provides media strategy, planning, buying, and analytics to companies who want their media investment to help achieve their business goals.
Based in San Francisco and Portland, we work with established companies, startups, and creative agencies to deliver big media thinking with big results.
With more than 50 years of media and marketing experience between us, we have planned and bought media for some of the largest (and smallest) brands on the planet.

Our Model
CLOUT WITHOUT OVERHEAD
We are a senior-level strategic team that uses the right partners and technology to create buying leverage—without the overhead or bureaucracy of a large agency.
EMBEDDED
We work closely with clients and agencies, and see optimal results when we're integrated with strategic and creative teams.
ART & SCIENCE
Magic happens at the intersection of art and science, so our approach blends the best of quantitative and qualitative work. Programs are built on human truths, not just designed by algorithms.
Clients
We help companies of all kinds drive business results through the strategic use of media. Check out our past experience; we've worked in just about every category imaginable, with specific skill in brand media programs and test & learn initiatives.
