About
At the forefront of digital marketing, tech and design for 40 years and counting
Our Story
Joe Pagano started Pagano Media in 1980 from his college dorm. His passion for artfully communicating the unique stories of clients set the foundation upon which we are built.
Kathleen Pagano, Joe’s wife, joined the company in 1990, bringing expertise in business strategy and corporate culture.
Over the course of 40 years, we have grown into a full-service, award-winning digital marketing agency. We’ve thrived for decades thanks to our talented team’s ability to adapt and evolve alongside the technologies, trends and best practices that disrupt the industry everyday.
