The Early Days: Two Guys in a
Basement - 2001

Picture this: November 2001, a basement in Wisconsin, and two guys with a dream. Jon Ballard and Andy Walker, a dynamic duo if there ever was one, decided to embark on a wild adventure and establish what the world now knows as Foremost Media, Inc. With more ambition than space, Jon's basement became the birthplace of something pretty extraordinary.

From Basement to Business:
The Big Move - 2004

Fast forward three years, and things were starting to get serious. It was time for a change-a rebrand and a relocation, to be exact. We kissed the basement goodbye and moved into our very first official office on Morse Street in Janesville. The name? Foremost Media, Inc., because we're nothing if not committed to excellence.

The Growth Spurt: More People, More
Power - 2005-2016

But wait, there's more! The next few years were like hitting the digital jackpot-growth, growth, and more growth. So much growth, in fact, that we had to pack up our things and move again, this time to Excalibur Drive in Janesville. This new space was like hitting the workplace lottery, and it wasn't long before we filled it with the brightest minds in the business. Together, we pushed past our limits and set our sights on even bigger milestones.

Warehouse to Wonderland:
The Makeover - 2016

In 2016, we decided it was time for a bit of a glow-up. We set our sights on an 1800s tobacco warehouse (because we're cool like that) and transformed it into a modern, open-plan office space. Hello Academy Street in Janesville, and goodbye to anything resembling an ordinary workplace. It was spacious, It was contemporary, and it was all ours.
