About Mythical Media

In 2009 there were 27.5 million businesses in the United States. Nearly half of them engage their customers online. Which also means only half of them engage their customers online. If you’re one of the former, then you’re here because you want to profit online. If you’re already online, then you’re here because you’re interested in increasing those profits – the site you made in 97 had a good run, but it’s time to put it out to pasture.

The internet is no longer a series of destination sites with a clearly defined objective. It’s now a labyrinth of conversations and imagery. A myriad of interactions occurring between businesses and consumers, whether that be a follow, like, list or purchase. Hopefully all of the above. Successfully navigating this environment requires a fluency in a new media language that is still being written. ‘Build it and they will come’ no longer applies.

And so Mythical Media sprung forth to fill a need for passionate online commerce specialists. Founder, Ian Wynne, has rallied decades of experience in analytics, fraud prevention, marketing, design, development, payment processing, global e-commerce and conversion optimization. But the Mythical Media team is so much more than the sum of our skills. We are both patrons and products of this digital frontier. We see in design mockups and graphic overlays. We’re here because we’ve been raised by an industry we’ve also helped evolve. And ultimately we’re here to help.

Mythical Media is a boutique firm and must be selective in the clients we take. If you’re interested in a consultation with us please Contact Us. That being said, we’re also firm believers in sharing our knowledge with anyone that would learn. And so the Total Online Profit Strategies (T.O.P.S.) system was created, which distills key elements of our trade into a comprehensive report. Sign up for our mailing list to receive yours for free.
