As Founder and CEO of AIS Media, Thomas Harpointner leads the agency’s strategy for transforming market visibility into qualified demand, stronger pipelines and measurable growth. He helps growth-focused brands and companies respond to changes in technology, media and buyer behavior.
Thomas has guided AIS Media through successive transformations in digital marketing. That experience helps him distinguish durable business opportunities from passing trends. He advises CEOs and CMOs on aligning marketing strategy, investment and execution with the outcomes that matter most.
A frequent media commentator and interview guest, Thomas is sought out by business publications, broadcasters and podcasts for perspective on digital marketing, AI Search, ecommerce, consumer behavior and brand accountability. His insights and interviews have appeared in Inc., Forbes, CNBC, Fox Business, Bloomberg Television, 11Alive, TechRoundand Business RadioX.

Denise Maling is the Co-Founder and Vice President of AIS Media. She oversees the agency’s content marketing, SEO and PPC management teams. She also consults directly with key clients, translating business objectives into integrated digital strategies that generate qualified demand and support measurable growth.
Her experience spans banking and financial services, energy, consumer services and manufacturing. This cross-sector perspective helps her understand complex markets and distinguish meaningful business outcomes from surface-level marketing activity.
Denise has also served as a juror for The Communicator Awards, evaluating work for marketing effectiveness and measurable impact. Her philosophy is straightforward: “Impact beats activity every time.” She prioritizes evidence that marketing worked—including revenue growth, qualified leads, conversion lift, retention, pipeline impact and cost reductions—over surface-level activity that does not demonstrate tangible business value.
