16W Media Group -RLH

16W Media Group is a branding and media agency based in Tampa, Florida, founded by Mike Sedita. The companys unique name is a nod to Mikes roots: it is named after the 16W exit on the New Jersey Turnpike, the exit he grew up taking to go home.

The agency was born from Mikes transition from a 20-year career in corporate finance to large-scale media buying for major brands. He realized that while global brands have massive reach, they often struggle to feel "local" and personal. To bridge this gap, Mike founded 16W Media Group with the mission of helping businesses navigate the "Branding Highway"-a metaphor for the journey of connecting global or regional brands with specific, affluent local communities.

The team also features Kacey Sedita, who serves as Publisher and CEO, focusing on community-driven storytelling, and Norman, the "Chief Barketing Officer" (the family dog), who has been a staple of the brand since 2016.
