About

Where we come from,
what we stand for,
who we are

OUR NAME

Our name is based on the philosophy that combining the knowledge and talents of various, diverse people can create a single, stronger entity, i.e. we are better off when we work together rather than working separately. It’s also a salute to the original motto of the United States – E Pluribus Unum: “From many, one.”

The cultural challenges of 2020 underscored the vital need for unity and highlighted the importance of increasing the representation of people of color in the media industry. This inclusion is essential for shaping the narratives and images seen by all audiences and for directing more resources and funding into historically excluded communities. To help advertisers achieve their growth objectives while fulfilling their commitments to Black-owned media companies, Multimerica Media was established in 2021.

OUR VALUES

Multimerica embraces core values that are more than just words on an inspirational poster. These are the guiding principles that shape our culture, behavior, and performance:

LEADERSHIP    |    INCLUSION    |    INTEGRITY    |    CONSCIOUSNESS

By living these values, we hope to always create a positive and lasting impact on our clients, ourselves, and the world.
