What's in a name

We're often asked for the story behind our name. Truth be told, "October 17 Media Inc" is the product of laziness. When we decided to build a company focused on web development and web marketing, we were excited to get started as soon as possible and didn't want to waste any precious time coming up with the perfect name. So we took the company's birthdate, October 17, tacked Media on to the end of it, incorporated, and voila... a name that has become surprisingly memorable! :)

October 17 Media specializes in website development, paid search advertising, social media and viral marketing, search engine optimization (SEO) and email marketing.
