Hey, this is Nolan!

I want to help you with your marketing.

Leading Veteran Owned Digital Marketing Expert

I co founded Gray Line Media, a veteran owned digital marketing agency. I bring strategic precision, discipline, and a commitment to excellence from my military service. Today, Gray Line Media operates as a service disabled veteran owned small business that delivers websites, SEO, and measurable marketing campaigns.

After graduating from the United States Military Academy in 2011, I served as an Infantry officer. I completed Ranger School and deployed to Afghanistan with both conventional and Special Operations units. These experiences shaped a results driven mindset that now fuels our clients’ digital marketing success.

Over more than three years in Afghanistan, I led diverse teams and managed complex operations. Later, after commanding a company in the 10th Mountain Division and preparing for missions to Iraq, I transitioned to the boardroom. Now, I apply the same leadership principles to support veteran owned businesses and organizations nationwide.

Upon transitioning from the Army as a Major, having served in the 3d Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard), I took my leadership skills and launched Gray Line Media in 2019 with my partner, Prajin Shee. As a veteran owned digital marketing company, we bring the discipline, focus, and mission-first mindset of military service to every client we work with. Our veteran-owned experience is at the core of how we operate and deliver results.

Why Choose a Veteran Owned Digital Marketing Company?

Partnering with a veteran owned digital marketing company means working with a team that values strategic execution, accountability, and results. In fact, at Gray Line Media, we bring the precision and discipline gained through military service into every campaign. Whether we’re developing a targeted SEO strategy or designing a high conversion website, our mission is to help businesses grow online efficiently and effectively.

Veteran Owned Digital Marketing Services

At Gray Line Media, we’ve been fortunate to work with diverse businesses, helping them achieve incredible growth through digital marketing:

Increase Website Visitors

Improve Brand Authority & Messaging

These examples highlight the impact of working with a veteran owned digital marketing agency that brings the same level of focus, commitment, and precision that we practiced in the military.

In addition to my role at Gray Line Media, I’m deeply committed to supporting the veteran community. As a Board Member of the Drew Ross Memorial Foundation, I work to honor the legacy of fallen service members. Through my volunteer work with Warrior Rising, I help empower leaders of veteran owned businesses to build and scale their companies. Ultimately, this dedication to leadership, service, and giving back is a cornerstone of who I am, and it drives the work we do.

Our Success Stories

Financial Advisory SMB

Challenge

A financial advisory membership community business was seeking to expand its reach and enhance its overall brand image.

Smart Film Start-Up

Challenge

A smart film start-up with strong market potential was struggling to attract customers. The website was outdated and poorly optimized, limiting visibility in search results and reducing user engagement. Design and content issues weakened the brand’s credibility, while the lack of a strong online presence directly affected revenue and growth. The business needed focused digital marketing services for small businesses to reverse the trend.

Approach

    The website was redesigned to improve user experience, boost visual appeal, and support better search performance.

    An in-depth audit was conducted, followed by updates across the site content and structure. Location-based landing pages and a regular blog strategy helped increase organic traffic.
