Who We Are

A marketing team that also runs its own media company.

Most digital marketing agencies advise on content, ads, and strategy from the outside. Magic Mile Media actually runs regional media platforms — and has for nearly a decade. We grow audiences for a living. Then we apply that same knowledge to the businesses we work with.

We work across social media management, video production, digital advertising, livestream production, web design, digital strategy, and public relations — all from one local team in downtown Kinston.

If you're looking for a team that understands both marketing and media, you've found them.

Locally Owned & Operated

Downtown Kinston, NC

We're not a national agency with an eastern NC office. We live here, work here, and understand the communities, businesses, and audiences of this region the way an outsider never could.

Our Media Properties

We don't just talk about building audiences. We do it.

In addition to client work, Magic Mile Media operates some of the most-followed local media platforms in eastern North Carolina. This gives us firsthand knowledge of what actually reaches this audience — and we put that to work for every client we serve.

How We Work

Results over vanity. Local over generic. Direct over diplomatic.

We measure what matters

Followers and likes are easy to chase. We focus on metrics that connect to your actual business — leads, calls, traffic, and sales. If a tactic isn't producing results, we say so and we change it.

We know this market

Eastern NC is not a generic market. The communities here are specific, the relationships matter, and the way people consume local content is different. We've been operating here since 2016 and we understand it.

We're accessible

You won't be handed off to an account manager or lost in a ticketing system. Our team is local, direct, and invested in the outcome. When you have a question, you get a real answer from someone who knows your account.
