Profile head shots

Quantum Media was honored again in 2024 as one of the top consulting firms in the US by Forbes and Statista. And as in each year, Quantum Media is among the smallest firms named, having three Principals and three Senior Consultants.  The firm was recognized in three consulting categories of Digital Transformation, Internet, Media & Entertainment and Marketing, Brand & Pricing. 

The Forbes Statista survey selected only 190 firms within 32 categories out of “more than one million management consulting firms in the United States.” Read the story and scroll down to the full list in Forbes. 

“We love being recognized as great consultants in our specialties of media and entertainment,” said Quantum Media Principal Erica Gruen. “Our clients appreciate our ability to form strategies that they can execute easily.”

Quantum Media’s consulting work has spanned every aspect of the media business, from developing an Internet business strategy for a Fortune 500 company to advising a young entrepreneur on launching a niche digital product.
