About Our Founder
Bantamedia’s founder and chief wordsmith, Brooke (Bates) Bilyj, is a national award-winning journalist, published author and marketing consultant whose storytelling savvy has attracted a flock of loyal clients.
With degrees in Magazine Journalism and English, Brooke launched her journalism career at a national chain of business magazines where she wrote in-depth feature articles, managed blogs and social media, and produced email newsletters. She interviewed hundreds of high-profile celebrities like Shark Tank’s Daymond John and Fortune 500 executives from companies like Microsoft, Wells Fargo, Cleveland Clinic and Deloitte.
When Brooke left the publication to help a local credit union grow its digital marketing presence, several of the companies, consultants and editors she previously worked with chased her down for more content. Building on these experiences, Brooke started Bantamedia in 2013 to help brands communicate their stories better through her feisty style of polished content, professional PR and powerful SEO.
What's With the Chicken?
Since our founder grew up on a small farm in Indiana, it seemed appropriate for the company to carry on a bit of that rural legacy. You see, some of the chickens that Brooke’s parents raised were bantam breeds, which are basically miniature chickens. Their small size is convenient for space-constrained farms, like the one her family packed into three self-sustaining acres.
So why are we telling you about chickens on a digital marketing website? Well, we named our company Bantamedia because, what bantam chickens lack in size, they more than make up for in personality and charm – and we think your marketing should act the same way. Just because you’re not as big as some other roosters in the field doesn’t mean you don’t deserve a little swagger in your story. Go ahead – get a little cocky.
