DECIBEL IS AN INDEPENDENT MEDIA PLANNING, BUYING AND FULL ANALYTICS AGENCY

‘Why?’ This is the single most motivating word in the English language, according to Tim. “Why can’t we build a media strategy, buying and analytics company that is nimble, creative, steeped in analytics and focused on results”. So that is what Tim did. Tim has a well-earned reputation for smart, creative media solutions driven by sophisticated analytics, and highly personal client service. Having dedicated over 20 years managing local and national brands at Mullen, Arnold Worldwide/Havas and Blitz Media, he understands how to bring a greater level of media expertise to solve business challenges. Tim’s love for the word ‘why’ in helping solving client needs is often followed by the single most rewarding phase in the English language, ‘Thank You’.

When not focused on helping the company grow and others around him succeed, Tim can be found experiencing life with his wife Mary and two children. Why not!

Trust is both an emotional and logical act. But trusting Melissa to lead our client accounts as the Managing Director, is both emotionally and logically a no-brainer. Melissa has experience on both the agency and client-side where she managed businesses such as Carbonite, TJX, Boston Children’s Hospital, Peter Pan/Greyhound, RI Tourism and National Grid. Melissa’s drive to push her own boundaries of experience presents clients with new perspectives, strategic approaches, and greater knowledge-creating enduring relationships built on trust. And because that wouldn’t be enough, Melissa manages and mentors the team with that same level of deep knowledge and caring, knowing that their success will be her own success.

When Melissa isn’t taking responsibility for our client’s needs she is quite the foodie. Next stop for Melissa, food critic. Feared and loved by every restauranteur. Let’s just hope, not too soon.

As Sadie told us as she took our Media Director's reign, “I’m a lifer! How could you get more enjoyment than a media planning and buying career.” That life decision has proven to be a great career choice for Sadie. Years ago, she cut her teeth as a media buyer and quickly moved up to leading teams within small to large agencies. The thrill of learning new industries and brands such as Keebler, University of Phoenix, Eastern Bank, Qdoba, and UMass Memorial Health, just to name a few, has established a substantial understanding of media channels and how best to apply that knowledge for successful client campaigns.

But it’s not just the clients that make Sadie unique; it’s her dedication to cultivating smart, supportive, and collaborative team members. Sadie’s inspiration and personal achievement come from her grandfather's sage advice, “Stay curious, be good to others, and strive to be better each day.” When Sadie isn’t inspiring our clients or team, she spends time with family and friends, usually near the beach and buried in her Kindle, planning her next great life adventure.

Curiosity. A word that has created the most significant technology invention in digital marketing – search engine marketing. And Emily continues to thrive off the excitement of that curiosity as she manages our client’s SEM campaigns. Her willingness to learn and grow with the team and our clients is the driving force behind her success. Emily’s past experience has included a strong background in real estate for Greybeard Realty and J. Barrett and Company as well as marketing for Bob’s Furniture. Words that Emily lives by spoken so well by Roald Dahl, “If you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it at full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be.”
