What we buy for Pittsburgh advertisers
Most agencies sell you creative and hand the buying to a platform. We do both, and the buying is where your money is won or lost. With 35+ years of direct-response experience, we know which networks, dayparts and shows pull response for your category.
You can run local Pittsburgh spots, add nearby markets, or go national when the numbers say go. We plan the mix, place the media, then adjust it daily based on what the phone and the form tell us.

“I have been in advertising for over 20 years, working for large companies and small companies and Buddy Vaughn and DX Media Direct is one of the best ad agencies, hands down, that I have ever worked with. Their creativity and solutions are outstanding. They track results like no one I know. They are amazingly responsive and go over and above every time I need anything. AND it's not contrived…they really care about my business! After working with them, I don't ever want to NOT work with them!”
“The DX Media team continues to exceed our expectations, year after year. We've tried other agencies in the past, and no one has delivered results like DX Media Direct. Their customer service is first rate. I cannot say enough great things about this team. Their guidance and strategic media buying methods have been essential to our campaigns success.”

Frequently asked questions
Do you have a Pittsburgh office?
We are based in Denton, Texas and buy media for clients across the United States, including Pittsburgh and the surrounding local market. Everything is handled by phone, email and video, so you get the same senior team no matter where you are.
What does a campaign cost?
It depends on the channels and volume. Weekly media budgets we manage range from $1,500 to $500,000. Local TV spots range from about $2 to $750 per :30 depending on the network, and some radio network packages start at $250 per spot. We quote exact rates on your free strategy call.
What is remnant advertising?
It is unsold, last-minute ad inventory on TV, radio and digital. You get the same reach and credibility as full-price media at 35% to 90% off prime rates.
Do I need my own commercial?
No. Radio production is free, including scriptwriting, talent hiring, studio time and one voice talent. We also produce TV and video commercials from concept to final cut.
Can you run digital too, not just TV and radio?
Yes. We handle SEO, PPC on Google, Facebook and YouTube ads, email marketing, CRM and marketing automation consulting, plus A/B testing and conversion rate optimization - tied to your TV and radio buys.
How do I know if TV will work for my business?
We run 90-day direct-response TV tests designed to give a clear, scalable playbook rather than inconclusive data. We also tell you whether a weak result came from the media mix or the creative, and fix both.
