UNTMD Marketing and Chiquita & Co PR have merged to form UNTMD Media, a digital marketing and public relations agency that blends data-driven strategy with earned media influence.
Offering C-suite-level strategy, execution, and results-driven solutions, the merger sees UNTMD Media unlock new growth avenues, including offline activations and end-to-end media strategy.
At the helm of the partnership are Co-founders, Maria Kathopoulis as Chief Marketing Officer and Chiquita Searle as Chief Communications Officer. Maria brings experience in data-driven, digital performance-focused marketing, while Chiquita has a decade of PR, earned media, and brand storytelling experience, creating a synergy that blends marketing with strategic media influence.
Maria said: "Our merger with Chiquita & Co addresses a clear gap in the market, where marketing performance and brand visibility are too often treated as separate strategies. By unifying our executional depth in digital, paid, and strategic advisory with Chiquita’s mastery of PR, founder profiling, and earned media, we’re delivering a truly integrated growth engine. It’s not just about campaigns, it’s about building brands that scale, convert, and lead their category."
Chiquita emphasised the importance of earned media in today’s crowded digital space: "There’s a huge appetite right now for founder-led brands who stand for something and actually show up for their audience. At UNTMD Media, we’re not just landing logos, we’re building authority that converts. This is about creating stories that drive real impact, elevate brand credibility, and connect visibility with bottom-line growth."
