MediaCore & its Associates
The Company Structure—Surround yourself with intelligent like minded people
MediaCore is owned an operated by Travis Monroe, a freelance Senior Web Designer & Art Director, and is MediaCore's sole employee. However, one person cannot be an expert in every field and deliver top quality services. So Travis has teamed up with like-minded, client-centric, professionals that add value to one-another's services, i.e., a virtual company.
Our clients are at the heart of why we structured ourselves this way. Together, Travis and his associates can deliver top quality services while remaining small and nimble. If we were a full-blown agency we would require everything that goes along with being that sort of agency structure, i.e., building, phone systems, additional support staff, the general overhead that goes with such a company.
What this simply translates into is more competitive rates for you and allowing you to stretch your marketing budget further without compromising quality and professionalism.
All of our team members have a diverse range of skills and many of them overlap in certain areas. The team members listed areas of consulting do not include all of their capabilities; for more information feel free to contact us with any questions.

TRAVIS MONROE — Senior Web designer & creative Director
Company: MediaCore
Background
Web specialist, graphic designer, print master, all-around marketing McGyver. Think it and Travis makes it happen. It’s been said that Travis puts the graphic in graphic designer. While attending the Art Institute of Seattle he learned how to suffer (for his art) and walked away with an Associate of Applied Arts Degree. Along with being a client favorite, he brings over 16 years of design expertise to every project including Web design, CD-ROM development, eCommerce solutions and various illustration styles. He is a self-described tech geek.
In his past lives Travis could be found at The Seattle Times and at a variety of marketing, communication and advertising firms in and around Seattle and Boise. That’d be Idaho.
