Hey, this is Nolan!

I want to help you with your marketing.

Leading Veteran Owned Digital Marketing Expert

As the co-founder of Gray Line Media, a premier veteran owned digital marketing agency, I’m committed to helping businesses grow their online presence with the precision, strategy, and dedication I developed during my military career. At Gray Line Media, we specialize in building high-performance websites, implementing comprehensive SEO strategies, and driving measurable digital marketing success for companies of all sizes.

After graduating from the United States Military Academy in 2011, I served as an Infantry officer in the U.S. Army, where I honed my leadership and strategic thinking. My military journey took me through elite training programs like Ranger School, and I deployed multiple times to Afghanistan in both coventional and Special Operation units. These experiences in both deployments and training led me to developing a results-driven approach that I now apply to digital marketing.

For three years, I managed complex operations during deployments to Afghanistan, where I learned the importance of teamwork, adaptability, and clear execution—all essential in running a successful digital marketing agency. After my time in Special Operations, I commanded a company in the 10th Mountain Division, preparing our unit for critical deployment missions to Iraq. These experiences cemented my ability to lead teams to success, no matter the challenge.

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.

Why Choose a Veteran Owned Digital Marketing Company?

Choosing a veteran owned digital marketing agency means working with professionals who understand the importance of strategic execution and delivering results. At Gray Line Media, we combine the best of military discipline with cutting-edge digital marketing techniques. Whether it’s crafting a custom SEO strategy or building a high-conversion website, our mission is to help businesses grow and succeed online.

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.

Beyond 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, and through my volunteer work with Warrior Rising, I help empower veteran entrepreneurs to build and scale their own businesses. 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

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

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.

The business needed focused digital marketing services for small businesses to reverse the trend.
