Every person at Total Media has been in the room where the decisions get made. We bring that perspective to your organization.
Founder & Managing Principal
Two decades leading strategic communications and media for regional and national organizations. James founded Total Media to give clients access to senior thinking without the overhead or the account churn.
Director of Media Strategy
Sandra has planned and bought media across every major category — from digital programmatic to broadcast. She specializes in helping organizations choose the right channels and stop wasting money on the wrong ones.
Senior Strategist, Audience & Insights
Marcus brings a researcher's rigor to audience strategy. Fifteen years studying how people make decisions and why they respond to some messages and ignore others. He turns data into direction.
Content Strategy Lead
Lauren bridges brand voice and practical content production. She builds content programs that feel authentic to the brand and actually serve a purpose in the customer journey.
Performance & Analytics Director
David designs measurement frameworks that connect marketing to real business outcomes. He's allergic to vanity metrics and committed to helping clients understand what the data is really saying.
Campaign Manager
Naomi is the operational backbone of our campaign work. She ensures every strategy gets executed — on time, on budget, and with the detail that makes the difference between a campaign that works and one that almost works.
A note from our founder
I started Total Media because I kept seeing the same problem: smart organizations spending real money on marketing that wasn't working — and not knowing why. The agency model is broken in too many places.
At Total Media, every client works with senior people. Every recommendation is tied to a business goal. And we're not afraid to tell you when something isn't working — even if we built it.
That's not a pitch. It's just how we operate — here in New Orleans and with every client we serve.
