What Teal Media does

Teal Media is a woman-founded, women-led full-service creative agency founded in 2009 by Jessica Teal, headquartered in Washington, DC with an additional office in Detroit, MI. The firm specializes exclusively in serving nonprofit, advocacy, and mission-driven organizations, offering end-to-end services spanning brand strategy, visual identity, website design and development (primarily on WordPress and Drupal), digital marketing, and capacity-building training. Notable enterprise clients include the Brookings Institution, Amnesty International USA, PFLAG, Indivisible, Common Cause, the American Animal Hospital Association, the Center for Economic and Policy Research, and Penn Today, with engagements often yielding measurable outcomes such as triple-digit percentage increases in organic traffic, search visibility, and user engagement.\n\nThe company's productized offering centers on Archie, a rapid-response WordPress website platform launched in 2024, sold at standardized tiers of $10,000 (Basic) and $15,000 (Standard) with optional power-ups (Branding Lite at $6,000, Clone at $5,000) and a $100/month managed hosting tail. A complementary Teal Dashboard product provides custom real-time analytics dashboards as an add-on, and a Training & Workshops line starts at $2,500 per session covering brand storytelling, SEO/analytics, Canva, and AI optimization. Underlying technology integrations span Algolia (AI search), Parse.ly, Datawrapper, Stripe, Google Maps, Google Analytics, and pre-built nonprofit-tool connectors including ActBlue, Give Lively, EveryAction, Mailchimp, HubSpot, and Airtable.\n\nThe business model combines project-based professional services (the majority of revenue) with subscription-like recurring revenue from Archie hosting and add-on modules, and ancillary training revenue. Go-to-market is sales-led, anchored on direct website inquiry, referrals from existing nonprofit clients, thought leadership content, and industry events, supplemented by the self-serve Archie channel. In May 2025, Teal Media completed a merger with Faircom New York to add fundraising and multichannel marketing capabilities, expanding the combined firm's service breadth across the nonprofit donor-engagement stack.
