Why We’re Here
Technically Media is an online publishing strategy firm.
We are best known for our local technology news sites, including Technically Philly and Technically Baltimore, which are largely funded by Philly Tech Week and Baltimore Innovation Week, respectively, in addition to other events.
Additionally and separately from our independent editorial work, we have taking lessons on building audience elsewhere.
Our consulting work focuses on the building better audiences through content, editorial and social media strategy, in addition to innovating news in revenue and engagement.
Our mission is empowering, expanding and bolstering new and existing content creators and instilling an understanding of authentic audience growth with the journalistic ethics of transparency. At heart, we are journalists.
Simply we build better audiences.
What We Do
Founded in February 2009, TM’s small, focused, innovative team operates in two broad and related functions: content and editorial strategy.

Consulting — Our client work focuses on web publishing, primarily in editorial and social strategy. (Read more about our consulting work.)
