Our Company
MediaWorks was founded by two like-minded business execs that always put their best foot forward on every project. They deliver measurable results, care about the effectiveness of every dollar spent, and monitor the success of each campaign along the way. Plus, we promise you'll have fun working with us along the way!!
 MICHELLE PENNINGTON is a creative thinker and has a passion for a job well-done! Her extensive knowledge of the media and a desire to help clients grow their business in an expanding competitive environment, provides a great foundation for designing effective and dynamic media campaigns that deliver results.
Her background and corporate training with the Kellogg and Pepsi-Cola brands gave her great insights into branding and marketing. This was complimented with a depth of experience in radio and television where Michelle was a top account executive developing successful ad campaigns for banks, furniture stores, restaurants, medical companies, auto dealers, and retailers. She led the SRP Multi-cultural media ad campaign to heighten brand awareness and increase customer loyalty delivering double digit growth in media value.
Michelle's strengths allow her to create campaigns beyond the Phoenix market, researching and placing media buys on the regional and national levels including Chicago, New York, Dallas, Atlanta, and 45 markets across the country. Her ability to harness the intricate digital landscape and create sophisticated campaigns that hyper-target consumers to deliver relevant and timely ads across all platforms (desktop, tablet and mobile devices) has resulted in more effective campaigns with greater customer engagement.

 DEDE WATHEY A tribute to my dear friend and business partner, Dede, who lost her battle with pancreatic cancer in 2010. Dede was a fun-loving fireball whose can-do attitude helped launch MediaWorks in 1997. She always brought her enthusiasm, smile and quick wit with her as we built the agency and began helping numerous clients forge the road of advertising with success. Dede was a wonderful wife to her husband, Drew, and an amazing mother to her two beautiful children, Kevin and Lauren. We will always treasure the time we had with her and honor her for her hard work, character and dedication to her family and friends.
