Media Two Interactive, LLC

Media Two Interactive is a media buying agency on South West Street in downtown Raleigh. Michael Hubbard founded it in 1998 and led it as chief executive through 2021, and the staff is made up almost entirely of media buyers.

The agency’s line about itself is blunt: it does not win creative awards, just sales. Its client list has included Glock, Berkshire Hathaway, Walmart, Microsoft and Frontier Communications, and the buyers average more than a decade in the business. Plenty of the team has been there a long while too.
