Wonderful agency to work with, first class.

Evelyn Reumuth Layton, Patio Connection

Working with Linda and her staff has been great. She understands our needs and I know they have our best interest at heart. It has been a win-win partnership.

Ted MacKillop, Patio Connection
Linda and her team at Dark Horse Media do a top rate job. They are dedicated to their clients and so giving of their time and energy. In terms of media coordination, they do a fantastic job. In the past four years, they have helped us to coordinate over 50 nonprofit organizations who have seen a significant increase in their tax credit related gifts over that time.
As talented as they are in their field, Linda and her team are equally as dedicated to the Tucson community and its success.
Scott Matlick, Arizona Tax Coalition

Steve Crawford, Pepper Viner Homes

I highly recommend this fantastic ad agency to any business that wants to grow. I have worked in Advertising for over 25 years including, TV, Radio and some time at an Advertising agency in Las Vegas.  For the last 10 years, I have lived my passion helping rescue and shelter animals with animal welfare publications and began The Tucson Dog magazine in July of 2017.  I was not as familiar with the media in Tucson so I needed help navigating that area for my business. I met and was very impressed with Linda and her staff so we hired Dark Horse Media to help us navigate the Tucson market.  I cannot say enough good things about Linda and her team.

Ann H.,
