I’m Stephanie, a Central Illinois native with over 14 years of hands-on experience helping over a hundred local businesses and nonprofit organizations build brand awareness and connect with the right audiences to turn their marketing investments into real measurable results.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked across marketing, advertising, media strategy and sales, with experience spanning home improvement, retail, healthcare, education, financial services, real estate, nonprofits, senior living, housing, automotive, restaurants, tourism and beyond. I have managed annual advertising budgets ranging from 18k-700k+ with campaigns across television, digital, paid search, social media, radio and more. I’ve helped clients determine not only where to advertise, but why, how much to invest and how each piece should work seamlessly together.

That’s why I created 217 Media Solutions: to give businesses and nonprofit organizations access to experienced marketing strategy and media expertise without the expense of a full-time marketing hire or traditional advertising agency that lacks local market expertise.

Some businesses need a complete marketing strategy. Others need someone to evaluate what they’re currently doing, identify opportunities, manage their advertising, or simply provide experienced guidance when it’s time to make a marketing decision. 217 Media Solutions is designed to meet you where you are and provide the level of support your business actually needs.

The goal is simple: to help you make smarter marketing decisions, spend your advertising dollars more effectively and build a customized strategy that supports your unique business goals.
