ABOUT
As medieval alchemists struggled to understand the elements comprising nature - earth, air, fire, water - and the forces shaping life, the mysterious, transcendent Quinta Essentia (fifth element) became identified as the energy responsible for holding the stars and planets in place. In time, Quinta Essentia was attributed with powers of healing and elevated, in the minds of some, to represent the very best of nature itself.
In answer to the forces influencing the current state of media, we have joined forces to create Quinta Essentia Media. Motivated to deliver something of the spirit of the fifth element with unsurpassed energy and insight, our strategic alliances enable us to bring the very best to our partners whether in the form of sales, strategy, production and design, or database optimization and marketing automation. Our shared mantra is to listen carefully, plan strategically, and execute superbly. We love what we do, and we are good at it.
