Ona Media Company was started with a simple vision to create firm that is better for people – clients, employees, and communities.

Social and digital media is the most exciting area of marketing – at least we think so – moving at lightning speed and wielding unparalleled power for businesses. Over 15 years, we’ve witnessed how the ever-shifting landscape directly affects businesses of all sizes. Amidst this evolution, many focused solely on amassing followers, neglecting the crucial growth of their owned data—a foundational oversight that often set them back. Ona emerged to guide our clients in aligning their social strategies with their business goals, fostering sustainable growth and mitigating the disruptive effects of evolving channel dynamics.

We are dedicated to doing what is right for our clients and their businesses. When you work with Ona, you can expect to:

Our approach centers on prioritizing the collection and utilization of first-party data for more informed social and digital media marketing strategies. We firmly believe that prioritizing this approach is essential to mitigate risks and achieve sustainable growth. Rest assured, we are committed to working closely with you to uphold the privacy of your data and adhere to established guidelines.

Ona Means She

Ona translates to “she” in Czech.

Following a decade of partnering with some of the world’s most innovative agencies and brands, Brittany found new inspiration when she least expected it – sipping wine in Prague, naturally. While enjoying the “fruits of her labor”, she was drawn closer to the city through its renowned hospitality and ancient sights. She couldn’t help but think about how this city has withstood some of the world’s harshest elements yet is still so beautiful and magnetic, pulling in people worldwide. If she could build something that gave people even a fraction of what she felt at that moment, she had to. Taking an industry she already loved but knew could be better; she started Ona, a social media consulting firm designed to be better for people – employees, clients, and communities.

[Before she started her own firm] I had the great fortune of working with Brittany. She was instrumental in helping me create a sustainable, authentic, and consistent, engagement plan for PepsiCo’s myriad of stakeholder groups the company interacted with regularly. Additionally, her social media strategy and acumen served me well as I launched a new function, aimed at amplifying PepsiCo’s reputation with policy makers, thought leaders, and community officials. She could not have been a better partner for me to help me bring to life this new initiative.
