ABOUT US

EastBay Media was founded in October, 2002 by Brad Pumphrey, noted and respected pioneer in the fields of Internet video and webcasting. Formerly based in Severna Park, Maryland, now based in coastal North Carolina, we serve the mid-Atlantic region as well as the entire US, Canada, and the UK as providers of digital media services, live event services, and streaming media products/solutions.

We founded our company in the Annapolis, Maryland area due to our large DC metro area client base. Our business was created to serve the growing need of organizations who wanted world-class CDN services and support without large bandwidth commitments and six-figure contracts. As we’ve grown, we have also become one of the industry’s most sought-after live streaming event producers and consultants. We own our own streaming infrastructure and partner with major providers such as Verizon, Akamai, and Level 3 to buy bandwidth in bulk and pass our low costs along to our clients. With privacy and client content ownership rights paramount to our principles, we never sell advertisements or client/user data to any party – which is the primary differentiator between Eastbay Media and pretty much every other streaming provider.

Marking our 15 year anniversary in 2017, we’ve been successful at helping organizations, large and small, with honest pricing and the highest level of personalized, dedicated, and friendly support available at any price. We’d love to serve you and have you be on board for our 20th anniversary next year!
