THE VSM STORY 

In 2008, drawing on her years of experience as a corporate marketing executive, Bethany Meadows started Vertical Solutions Media. From day one, Bethany’s vision was clear—create a company that helps businesses grow with integrity and creativity. She didn’t believe in quick fixes or cookie-cutter approaches. Every business is unique, and Bethany built the agency to deliver tailored strategies that truly make a difference.

Over the years, Vertical Solutions Media has grown into more than just a marketing agency. It’s a trusted partner for small businesses and organizations looking for innovative marketing strategies. The agency’s success is rooted in long-term client relationships and a dedication to doing what’s best for every client, whether they realize it or not.

Today, Vertical Solutions Media offers everything from full-scale marketing campaigns to coaching and training for those just getting started. More than that, though, the agency is about people—building strong relationships, creating solutions that matter and helping businesses thrive. What started as Bethany’s personal journey has evolved into a trusted resource that redefines marketing partnerships.

Bethany Meadows 

Bethany Meadows is the founder and CEO of Vertical Solutions Media, where creativity and integrity drive everything she does. With more than 30 years of marketing experience, Bethany launched her business in 2008 after a life-changing decision to homeschool her five kids following a divorce. She knew that combining her corporate marketing expertise with her entrepreneurial spirit could give her the flexibility she needed and allow her to help businesses grow.

Since then, Bethany has built Vertical Solutions Media into a thriving agency that helps small businesses and financial service organizations succeed with creative, customized marketing strategies. She’s also the host of the Time to Thrive podcast, designed to inspire and equip business owners with the tools they need to reach their goals.

Bethany’s story of resilience and her dedication to doing what’s best for her clients have made her a trusted partner and mentor to businesses of all sizes. Her passion for helping businesses stand out in crowded markets continues to drive her success.
