Who we are
Concera Media is an interactive marketing and PR agency in Kansas City Missouri. We’re a small, creative company with big-company experience. At the helm on most stormy nights, you’ll find Lindsay Shannon and Scott Shorter, expatriates from the corporate and agency world with more than 25 years combined experience in interactive publishing, marketing and PR. We’ve put together a team of independent, talented folks that make us (and you) look good. Think of us as the internal interactive marketing group that you wish you had – nimble, not bloated; driven by results, not billable hours.
Our Mission
We’re not trying to sell you something – at least not from the start. We begin with a conversation about your business goals, audience and resource commitment, then we develop a program that fits those needs. Nothing more, nothing less. Our mission is to develop, implement and maintain marketing and PR programs that deliver measurable results, beyond your expectations. This means we often tell clients “no” (did our accountant just cringe?). You may come to us thinking you need a new Web site design or a Twitter presence, but we may see a better opportunity to drive business results with the resources at hand – and we’ll tell you.
We are not just a “Web site design” or a “Social Media” agency. We don’t want to be the “one-stop shop for updating text on your company Web site”. Our breadth of experience allows us to deliver solutions that are often simple, yet effective, and affordable by almost any size business.
