You know what matters, we know what works.
We build local advertising strategies that put your business in front of the right people: on the radio, online, on their phones, and everywhere they’re paying attention.
Complimentary consultation. No obligation. Local strategy.
HOW WE THINK
Your goal is the strategy. The channels are just how we get there.
We start by finding out who actually buys what you sell in this market (where they live, what they listen to, what they search) then build the plan around them. When the market shifts, the plan shifts with it. Same budget, no re-pitch.
The channels we pull from
Chosen per campaign, swapped whenever the results say to. You’re buying the plan, not the list.
HOW IT WORKS
Get Wanted.
Get Found.
Get Chosen.
The three things a local customer does before they ever spend a dollar with you. We cover all three.
STEP ONE
Get Wanted
It starts on the air. Radio builds the demand before the search ever happens, so people are already looking for you by name.
STEP TWO
Get Found
Be there the second they go looking: at the top, in the map, with the right answer.
STEP THREE
Get Chosen
Close the gap between browsing and calling with proof, presence, and persistence.
WHAT ADVERTISERS SAY
Local owners, in their own words.
“We appreciate your unwavering support! The Vintage Fair is the best, best event every spring and fall! You take small businesses that many have never heard of, and build them up, lovingly and without any kind of selfish motive. That's beautiful and hard to find in any type of coordinated event. I was at the very first Q108 Vintage Fair and my god, how far it has come.”
Heather Sassett

“I'm injury attorney, Pete Olson and I'd like to recommend my friends and advertising partners at Five Star Media Group. The internet has changed the world of advertising and Five Star has kept up. They have multiple radio stations, and they have ClarksvilleNow which is THE source of local news. They provide digital advertising services as well. That means more clicks, visits and calls and searches for your website. Of all my advertising partners, I truly believe I get the best return on investment, I get with Five Star.”
