About Edge One Media
Your business deserves a marketing partner who’s invested.
We’re a family-owned digital marketing agency in Tigard, Oregon. Since 2003 we’ve built brands, websites and campaigns for Portland-area businesses who are tired of guessing what works — one team, accountable for moving it forward.
No pressure and no chasing — a conversation first, always.

“I recently had the opportunity to work with Nicholas at Edge One Media, and had a great experience. Through the years, I have had several bad experiences with web developers, but Nicholas was attentive, responsive, skilled and overall just a nice person to do business with. He was prompt with communication AND follow through.”
— Lindsay M., client review
Why we’re here
Started in 2003, still answering the phone in 2026.
Nicholas De Salvo founded Edge One Media in 2003 after watching too many good local businesses get sold marketing they couldn’t measure. Twenty-three years later the promise is the same: know what you’re buying, know what it’s doing, and know who to call when you have a question.
We’ve since worked with organizations like the Houston Super Bowl, OHSU, World Trade Center Portland, the Portland Trail Blazers, Home Depot and CASA of Oregon — and with the law firm, the clinic and the shop down the street. Same team, same standard.
What we learned: business owners don’t need more tactics. They need one plan, in plain English, with someone accountable for it.
What partnership actually means
Four things you can count on
We don’t ask you to trust adjectives. Here’s what working with us looks like in practice.
Clear direction
You’ll know what we’re prioritizing this quarter and why — and what we’re deliberately not doing.
Connected execution
Your website, brand, content and campaigns run as one system instead of five disconnected projects.
Straightforward communication
One point of contact, plain-English reporting, and a reply within one business day.
Support that continues
We don’t disappear after launch. Maintenance, security and iteration are part of the plan.
What we do
Marketing and design, under one roof
Selected client work
Two recent projects, and what they produced
Rebrand + website + SEO
Hartpence Law
- The challenge
- A firm with a strong reputation, and a brand and website that no longer reflected it.
- What we changed
- A complete rebrand and a rebuilt website — clearer practice-area pages, a stronger consultation path, and ongoing SEO and content built around what injury clients actually search for.
- The outcome
- Website inquiries up 650%, from 2 to 15 in a single month, with 21% more traffic, 24% more users and 50% more referral traffic.
Connected TV + Google Ads + SEO
Fear Free Dental
- The challenge
- A practice known for comfortable, patient-first dentistry that wanted to reach prospective patients before they started searching for a dentist.
- What we changed
- One coordinated campaign instead of separate tactics: Connected TV on Hulu and Disney+ for awareness, Google Ads on high-intent local searches, and SEO and website work tying the two together.
- The outcome
- Sessions up 81.9% and new users up 120.5% year over year, direct traffic up 153%, and 96.3% of the streaming ads watched to completion across 6,720 households.
Our executive team
You’ll always know who’s accountable
Nicholas, Megan and Jake lead Edge One and stay personally involved in every account. Behind them sits the rest of our team — the people who build and run the work.
These three are our executive team, not our whole team. There’s a full staff behind them, which means your project gets the range of skills it needs instead of three people stretched across everything.

Questions we get asked
Before you get in touch
How does pricing work?
Most engagements start with a paid audit or strategy sprint so we can see what you actually need before anyone commits to a retainer. From there, work is either a monthly retainer or a fixed-scope project. You’ll always know the number before you decide.
Do you lock clients into long contracts?
No. We work on rolling monthly agreements and we’ll put the exit terms in writing up front. We’d rather earn the next month than trap you in it.
Who will I actually work with?
Nicholas and Megan lead every account and Jake runs design and development — they’re our executive team. They are backed by the rest of our staff, so you get direct email and phone access to the people accountable for your work, never a chain of account managers relaying messages.
Do you work with businesses outside Portland?
Yes. We’re based in Tigard, Oregon and most of our clients are in the Portland metro, but we’ve worked with clients nationally and internationally. Video calls, shared dashboards and regular check-ins keep remote projects on track.
What happens after my website launches?
Every site we build includes a support path — updates, security, backups and ongoing improvements. Most clients stay with us for years; one of our longest relationships is over a decade.
How quickly will I hear back?
Within one business day. If you’d rather talk than type, call 503.567.7343 during office hours (Mon–Fri, 9am–5pm Pacific).
