With over 30 years of experience in the media & advertising industry, Maria Corsaro has an extensive background as a highly respected professional in the media industry.  After graduating “Magna Cum Laude” from LaSalle University in 1991, with a B.A. in Communications and English, she started her career at Philadelphia’s well-know all news radio station, KYW Newsradio 1060 as a sales assistant and was promoted to the position of Marketing Director. Her responsibilities included managing the station promotions department and oversaw their school closing program. Maria was active in her community and served on the board of Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Philadelphia where she helped plan fund raising events for the non-profit organization.

In 2008 Maria continued her career in the industry on the agency side working for an international media buying firm.  During her tenure at the agency, Maria was responsible for managing a client that she helped grow from a $75 Million into a $ 500 Million-Dollar franchise.  

As a result of this success, the agency grew their revenues from $ 1.5 Million to $30 Million, and went from 4 to 21 employees.  The journey led to her rise from media buying assistant to becoming the Chief Operating Officer of the international advertising firm. 

Ms. Corsaro traveled all over the U.S. & Canada working with media companies’ senior level managers and was responsible for overseeing successful media placement in over 130+ markets throughout the United States and Canada. Maria also served as guest speaker at “Women in Business” at a client’s national conference encouraging and inspiring women to find their passion and pursue their dreams beyond the glass ceilings.

Maria has been committed to educating business owners about the industry and media advertising.  Whether managing and executing local media buys for small businesses, large franchise co-ops or national corporate campaigns, Maria brought the same passion and tenacity on behalf of EVERY client. She always has been “The Approachable Agency” who will provide her clients with optimal media value to increase leads, build brand awareness and generate results.

According to Maria “It has been a long adventurous road in the media industry, and I still look forward to the next win, the next successful client. There is nothing more rewarding than when we work in the trenches with a client and see them achieve or exceed their goals. When we get that call from a happy client after a successful media campaign, I will still jump up and down like it our first win. That feeling of exhilaration and accomplishment is what keeps me in the game.”

Maria places an enormous amount of value in running a successful business starting with three basic principles: Integrity, Trust, and Respect.
