What Medley does

Medley Inc. is a Houston, Texas-based professional services firm operating as a public relations and digital marketing agency. Founded in 2009 by Ashley Small, the firm provides integrated communications services to municipal government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and mid-to-large corporations, with a stated specialization in culturally grounded storytelling for diverse audiences. The agency operates from a single headquarters with a micro-team sized at 1-10 employees per current firmographics, distributes work through direct sales, and celebrated 15 years of operation in 2024/2025.

The firm's service portfolio spans three core vertical capabilities — public relations, digital media, and brand development — packaged into three subscription tiers (Foundation, Momentum, Premium) and supplemented by a la carte offerings including tactical communications plans, social media marketing plans, media outreach campaigns, newsletter design, digital advertising, website design and development, and ongoing media monitoring. Pricing is custom-scoped per engagement, with monthly retainer billing across tiers and 10-week to multi-month cadences for project work. Certifications as a Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) and Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) via the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) qualify the firm for corporate and federal supplier-diversity procurement channels.

Notable named clients include Major League Baseball, AT&T, Houston Parks and Recreation Department, Memorial Park Conservancy, Midtown Management District, Third Ward Cultural District, iWRITE Literacy Organization, My Brother's Keeper Tulsa (an Obama Foundation initiative), The Rose, and Juneteenth Houston. Distribution is primarily direct, with discovery-to-engagement sales via the firm website (medley-inc.com). The firm is privately held, with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, M&A activity, or public-market plans in the source data.
