Our network of 250+ brand and business specialists across the globe are connected to thousands of media and CX experts to deliver ideas that make a difference.
We create content that converts, audience engagement that grows your base, and sales representation that drives revenue and partner marketing success.
Attract. Influence. Accelerate.

Our Story: Built Different
1994: Started repping ads for Oracle Magazine, IBM Systems, Dell Power Solutions, Microsoft Certified Professional. We were killers at media sales.
1996: Standard ads weren't cutting it. We pioneered native advertising in B2B tech—custom content that blended editorial credibility with advertiser impact. So we launched Sprocket Media, an award-winning full-service agency. Not planned. Just necessary.
2000: Integrated sales and creative into Partner Marketing Platform. We weren't just selling ads—we were orchestrating go-to-market campaigns, building trade shows, selling sponsorships. We became ecosystem builders.
2005: A client asked us to staff creative talent directly. Sprocket Pro was born—our global specialist staffing brand with 250+ creatives across markets, scalable on demand.
2012: Launched Digarati—fusing social, digital publishing, and community into brand ecosystems that actually engaged people.
2020: Sprocket Media merged with Collateral Damage, a B2C agency, expanding beyond B2B.
2022: We saw what the industry didn't—AI was about to fundamentally reshape creative, sales, and marketing. Walkenhorst Media Group (WMG) was born. Built on AI from day one—delivering premium work at a fraction of the cost. While the industry scrambled to react, we were already running.
Today: The only shop with Madison Avenue creative chops AND Silicon Valley sales DNA—now helping the next generation of media creators and publishers monetize content at scale. In a world of new media proliferation, we're the experts brands and creators turn to for revenue growth.
We build brands that break through. We craft stories that matter. We monetize audiences at scale.
30 years. One truth: Great content deserves great business models.
