THE TMP STORY
The Media Project was launched in 2011. At the time, Holly was working full time in marketing while hustling on the side, writing freelance for magazines and running an online retail store, and was heavily pregnant! She was being offered freelance marketing work from small to medium businesses needing a bit of help and although it was pretty crazy she knew it was the perfect opportunity to launch a new business, while being able to stay home with her soon to be arriving babe.
So along with her son, TMP was born! As the business grew, a bunch of Holly’s talented marketing, PR and comms mates joined forces with her to create an epic team of consultants who now work with an exciting and diverse range of great clients and successful companies, vibing off each others talents and clients success.
