Our Commitment to Our Community.
Edge One Media is a Digital Marketing Agency located in the beautiful Pacific Northwest town of Tigard, Oregon a suburb in the Portland Metro Area. Our main focus is on re-defining brands, analyzing where they are and where they strive to be in order to position their brand as a leader in their industry. We do this through solid brand design and language consistency, strategic content strategy, and connection to their target market(s) through Social Media and Ad Channel Management. We are experienced strategists with a unique approach to transforming product and service brands into a more tightly-focused, cohesive presentation.
Our Design and Marketing Portfolio shows some of the many clients we have worked with locally, nationally, and internationally, but what it doesn’t demonstrate is the value our websites and marketing plans have added to their businesses. There are many agencies who can provide you with the same services, but we feel confident that no one will bring you the value we do.
In addition to the value we provide our clients, we also believe strongly in giving back. We offer non profit discounts because our founders have sat on many non profit boards and know the power those dollars saved can have. We give back our time, talent and treasure to many local and national non profits, because we are committed to doing our part in making our community stronger together. We welcome you to join us and learn more about how you can “Give Your Brand a Refreshing Edge” with us.
Our Capabilities include: Branding, Web Design, Web Development, Design, Marketing, Content Strategy, Social Media Management and Implementation, Retargeting, Ad Channel Management, and Analytics.
Meet Our Team
We understand what a business owner goes through when trying to select an agency or firm to work with. We strive to earn your trust from the moment you walk through our door.

Nicholas
Meet one half of our fearless leadership team—Nicholas De Salvo, the CEO and founder of Edge One Media!
From his humble beginnings at Portland’s Grout Elementary School where he excelled at naptime and singing the alphabet, Nicholas has since refined those skills into an espresso addiction and a hearty love of musicals. Nicholas is not only Edge One’s founder but also the heart and soul of our Web Design team; he juggles everything from online advertising to website development to podcast creation. As our “Chief Troublemaker,” he likes the office to maintain a healthy balance of working hard and playing hard.
Nicholas is a Portland native who loves playing music and singing, watching TV across genres from professional wrestling to Gilmore Girls, attending Portland Trailblazer games, and spending time with his family.
His fun fact? He’s run 4 marathons but struggles to walk up more than 4 flights of stairs!
Megan
Say hello to the other half of our leadership team—Megan De Salvo, our Marketing Director and Creator of Opportunities!
Megan had studied Theater at La Quinta High School before making the trek up to Ashland to attend Southern Oregon University, which is where she met Nicholas—and the rest is history, as they say! Since joining Edge One Media in 2010, she has become the office’s “jack of all trades” by expanding the marketing network, interfacing with clients, managing projects, and so much more.
When Megan isn’t in the office, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends, reading, and watching musicals with Nicholas.
Her fun fact? She is a member of the International Thespian Society and has won awards for her stage acting, directing, and voiceover work!
Jake
Say hello to Jake, our Lead Web Designer at Edge One!
Born and raised in Portland, Jake had briefly flown the coop during his undergraduate years at the University of Redlands to study Business Administration and Graphic Design & Photography before he returned to his rightful place in the PNW. As our Lead Web Designer, Jake takes on the bulk of the work on our design team and acts as Nicholas’ right-hand man. His usual responsibilities vary depending on the client, but typically he assists in company branding, web design and development, and meeting with clients.
His favorite activities to do in his free time include doing restaurant and bar crawls, playing basketball and video games, and spending time with his two cats.
His fun fact? Jake had joined Edge One as an intern at 18 years old and is still with us nearly a decade later!

Why Edge One?
Our Heart
We care about everyone we come in contact with. Whether you are new in business, a seasoned business owner, or a non profit in need, we want to set you up for success. We are a family owned and community involved company that always has your success on our mind.
Transparency
We believe strongly in the power of transparency. Being crystal clear with one another from the start and throughout our time together is best. Sometimes we find the things that you don’t think are important to share with us, are the most valuable pieces of your marketing puzzle.
Value
From our initial consultation on we lead with value above cost. There are plenty of other companies who can create a Marketing Plan, Build a Website, or Design your Brand Assets, but very few provide the value we do. You can see it in our stellar reviews.
