About CYM Media
Three colors. Every color.
Cyan, yellow and magenta are the building blocks of every other color. Depending on the intensity and balance you choose, mixing the three can create anything on the spectrum. That's the idea behind CYM Media: a creative company that blends strategy, design and production to build brands that move people.
[01] Our story
Independent since 2009.
CYM Media started in Potomac, Maryland in 2009, producing full-service campaigns across film and media production, live event design, public relations, marketing, photography and graphic design for clients around the DC region.
Today we're a full-service marketing, branding and social media agency. Our Emmy-nominated, multi-award-winning team handles everything from brand strategy and identity to social, web, SEO, paid media, print and video, all in-house.
When it comes to content, products, brands and ideas that move us forward, we are all in, and our intensity shows.
