Working with us
What does Level Up Media Group do?
Level Up Media Group is a digital marketing agency for public companies. We run industry-targeted awareness campaigns across SMS, newsletters, influencers, paid ads, video, and social media, build investor websites and newsletters, and report results weekly.
How do we get started?
Book a strategy call on our online calendar, email contact@levelupm.com, or use the contact form with your company name, ticker, and goals. We'll review your recent news before we talk.
How is pricing set?
Pricing depends on the channels, the size of the audience, and the length of the campaign. Every proposal lists deliverables and fees in writing, and paid media budgets are shown separately from our fees.
Who approves content that speaks for our company?
You do. We agree on an approval process at the start, and anything that speaks for the company goes to your team before it's published.
How do you report results?
Weekly reports show what ran, where, and what it produced: reach, clicks, sign-ups, engagement, and cost per result, by channel.
Targeting and channels
Do you target investors in our industry?
Yes. Every campaign starts with your sector: lists segmented by industry and investor type, creators whose audiences follow companies like yours, and ads targeted by sector interest.
What does a tailored investor list mean?
It's an opted-in subscriber list segmented for your campaign: by industry, by sector theme such as a commodity or therapeutic area, and by investor type, such as sector specialists, active traders, or long-term holders. Only people who opted in receive messages.
How do you match influencers to our company?
We look for creators who specialize in your industry and whose followers are the type of investor you want to reach, then check real engagement, past content, and disclosure history before booking.
Which channels do you use?
SMS alerts, email newsletters, online financial publications, podcasts, and creators on X, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit, and Discord, plus programmatic, native, search, and social ads. Most campaigns combine several.
Is SMS marketing allowed for public companies?
Yes, when it's done with consent. Federal rules under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and carrier policies require clear opt-in consent for marketing texts, identification of the sender, and working opt-out handling, and some states add rules of their own. Paid messages about a stock must also disclose the compensation.
What is a sponsored newsletter placement?
It's a paid feature about your company inside an email newsletter, either as a slot in a regular edition or as a dedicated email to the newsletter's subscribers. It's labeled as sponsored, and paid content about a stock discloses the compensation.
Can public companies advertise their stock online?
Often, yes, within limits. Ad platforms have their own policies for financial products and services, and some restrict or require approval for content about securities. Policies differ by platform and change often, so we check each one before a campaign launches.
Disclosure and consent
Are paid awareness campaigns legal?
Yes, when the content is truthful and the payment is disclosed. Section 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 requires anyone paid to publicize a security to disclose that payment and its amount. Every paid placement we run includes that disclosure.
Do influencers have to disclose they're paid?
Yes. The FTC's Endorsement Guides require clear disclosure of any material connection, such as payment. For paid content about a stock, Section 17(b) of the Securities Act also requires disclosing the compensation and its amount.
Do recipients have to opt in?
Yes. We only text people who have opted in to receive messages, every message identifies the sender, and replying STOP ends further messages.
Is Level Up Media Group a broker-dealer or investment adviser?
No. Level Up Media Group LLC is a marketing company. It is not a broker-dealer, investment adviser, or research firm, and it does not give investment advice or sell securities.
