services.

staff of eight years from Big Man Creative to

Moving
forward with the same experienced Adolph Agency
advertising team in place, FrontGateSM
Media has a wealth of accomplishments
to its credit. Relief organization World Vision
named the firm “#1 E-Media Partner”
in June 2004. In December, FrontGateSM
Media coordinated a campaign sending over one
million emails for Tsunami Relief, resulting
immediately in $63,000.00 in donations to World
Vision. The firm also broke all past records
for advertising in the September/October 2004
issue of Christian Music Planet and has linked
the magazine with a diverse group of advertisers
from every segment of the marketplace—record
labels, publishers, non-profit organizations,
colleges and more.
The
firm has also secured long term, multiple media
advertising agreements for 2004-2005 with market
leaders including Tyndale House, EMI CMG, Multnomah
Publishers, Integrity Music, Yamaha, Bethany
House, World Vision, Shure, Zondervan Publishers,
INO Records, Taylor Guitars, Rocketown Records,
Larrivee Guitars and others.
In
order to continue providing individualized attention
to its clients, FrontGateSM
Media has expanded its team of Christian
media specialists. The new additions are: Richard
Lockhart, with 13 years of media experience,
most recently as a Senior Account Executive
with Entrepreneur Magazine/Entrepreneur Media
Inc.; Stefan Konstantopoulos,
a frequent contributor to Worship Musician and
Christian Musician magazines, with three years
of sales experience most recently with Titan
Electric; and Mitch Bohannon,
well known in the worship community as the “Cut
Capo Guru”, who will continue as worship
leader at this home church in addition to his
sales role with FrontGateSM
Media.

Media's clients are saying:
