What began as an excuse to buy a high end Mac ended up being Knoxville's first group that continues to specialize in web design and Internet marketing. Mediapulse was founded by Scott Spaid and Mary Gallant back in 1995, and with Internet years being like dog years, that's a seriously long time ago.
Since nobody else was specializing in web design at the time, the dynamic duo nabbed some of Knoxville's finest blue chip accounts such as Regal Cinemas (now Regal Entertainment Group), Plasti-line (now ImagePoint), and DENSO (still DENSO).
No rent. No employees. No programming. Not a single luxury. Oh, the days when websites were simple. It wouldn't stay that way for long.
Just about the time the dot.com bubble was about to burst, anyone with a computer was a web designer. However, brochure sites weren't pulling the load anymore and prospective clients were hard pressed to find a web designer that could meet their technical needs. Enter Mediapulse.
Being different and unique has always been a Mediapulse strategy. With this in mind, pulseID, a real-time click-path analysis system, was born. Clients loved knowing who was hitting their site and what pages they were looking at (and they still do).
Mediapulse was growing fast and the work was piling up. It was time to find a bigger boat.
Having balanced design and technology, it was time to focus on building the business into an agency. An agency with big ideas, big brands, and big budgets. Not to mention big overhead.
Blessed with award-winning accounts from Shoney's to the New York Blood Center to the Washington Post's New Homes Guide, Mediapulse had grown from a two-person start-up to a 13 person corporation in less than 10 years. Quite a feat for any small business.
But things were changing in the web world and it was time to get more done with less.
These days, Mediapulse is a web design studio focused on providing amazing design, tools, and support to customers in the Knoxville, Tennessee area and beyond. Gone are the suits and ties. In their place is a creative team that knows how to make your business successful online.
A secret to Mediapulse's success is The iDeal Platform™. The iDeal Platform is a website management system that follows a “don’t reinvent the wheel” approach to development, which keeps costs down and gets things done faster.
While Mediapulse will continue to evolve, one thing will always remain constant: our focus on delivering high quality and high value to our customers.
