What NEWMEDIA does

NEWMEDIA.COM is a privately held, founder-led full-service digital marketing agency established in 1996 and headquartered at One World Trade Center in New York City. The firm provides integrated digital growth services spanning earned and owned media (SEO, AEO, PR), paid media (PPC, paid social, programmatic, CTV), website design and ecommerce development, and conversion rate optimization. Its central proprietary offering is RankOS™, a registered AI Visibility Operating System that combines AI search optimization with traditional SEO and PR into a unified framework designed to measure and amplify brand visibility across both conventional search engines and AI-powered discovery environments such as ChatGPT and Perplexity.

The company operates on a professional services and managed services revenue model, structured predominantly as subscription retainers billed monthly or annually, with engagement tiers ranging from approximately $4,999/month at the boutique level to $30,000+/month at the enterprise level.
