As a full-service local marketing firm, we know most businesses are heavily invested in digital. It’s trackable, it’s targetable, and it looks great with creative graphics.

But here’s the catch: online ads work best when consumers already know and trust your brand. Here's why Radio is your smartest digital investment!

We know most businesses are heavily invested in digital, but here's why Radio is a local marketing must-have!

Happy National Radio Day!

Today we celebrate the incredible power of radio, and more importantly, the people behind it. From our on-air personalities and production pros to our sales, promotions, and support teams; our colleagues don’t just play music or air ads, they connect, inspire, inform, and strengthen our community every single day.

At Manning Media, we’re proud to connect Frederick, Hagerstown, and beyond with a diverse lineup of stations reaching more people in more ways than anyone else in the region. From the songs you grew up with to today’s favorites and from trusted news to the best country music and to smooth Yacht Rock—our team delivers the soundtrack of our community.

Thanks to our colleagues, listeners, and advertisers who keep local, community focused, radio strong!

Manning Media celebrates companies who celebrate their employees and their achievements! Recently Sam's Club 8193 in Hagerstown did just that.
The Sam's Club 8193 team, associates, market managers, and staff all came together to honor the Briggs siblings and their remarkable academic achievements. At this club location, six members of the Briggs family — a family of 38 siblings— are proud associates, and thanks to Walmart's Live Better U program, four of them have been able to continue their education completely tuition free.

• Catelyn “Cate” Briggs : A 10-year Sam’s Club associate, graduating with her high school diploma.
• Luke Briggs: Graduating with his Bachelor of Science degree.
• Selah Briggs: Earning a certificate in Frontline Management.
• Levi Briggs: Graduating with his high school diploma.

“It’s something I’ve always wanted to accomplish, and when you grow up in a different country and you can accomplish this and when it’s paid for -- it’s a big deal for me. When I encouraged my siblings to do it, I realized ‘oh, I should do that, too!’” – Catelyn Briggs, Sam’s Club associate
