Our Story of Community First.

Appalachian Marketing and Media was born out of the idea that marketing does not have to be difficult and should be accessible to all, including small local businesses. In 2020, as local Shawnee State University students, Ryan and Audrey Schiesser began helping local organizations with their marketing efforts via website design, social media management, search engine optimization, and marketing consulting. 

We have launched an internship program benefitting local college students, have expanded into 4 service lines, service more than 200 local companies, and are currently employing 5 Shawnee State University graduates. We are a rapidly growing local marketing firm that focuses on providing high-quality marketing for our customers, excellent employment opportunities for our staff, and excellent experience for local college students with our internship program.
