“So, I Met a Guy in a Bar in Bangkok…”
Now that’s a way to begin a story.
And it’s a true story about how PoP Digital Media began.
But more on that later.

Ok Ok, Back to Bangkok…
Even though the origins of PoP Digital stretch further back into our careers working in corporate marketing for companies such as Disney, Georgia Pacific, and even working with HGTV, the real moment that PoP Digital began was that moment in Bangkok.
We were traveling in Thailand and writing for our travel blog, Peanuts or Pretzels, when we met a man in a bar who owned a bed & breakfast in New Zealand. He was relaunching it and so we were chatting with him about some ideas, because he felt totally lost when it came to this “online marketing stuff.”
Three days later, we were on a plane to New Zealand. And he became PoP Digital Media’s first official client.
7 Years Later, We’re Still Growing!
As it turned out, everywhere we traveled and interacted with businesses we ended up picking up clients who needed help with their digital marketing, content strategy & creation, social media and more!.
Since that time we’ve helped launch international start-ups from zero to the top of their industry. We’ve crossed-cultural boundaries by handling all the overseas marketing for major education and recruiting companies in China.
We’ve spoken at conferences about content strategy and content mapping to entrepreneurs in the RV industry, created ambassador programs for outdoor companies, and even appeared as guests on CBS Better Mornings Atlanta for a segment on Geocaching!
And we’ve continued to launch new online businesses of our own, growing our media company to 5 brands now!
It’s an exciting time in the world of digital marketing, so let us help you achieve your goals!
