History
With its genesis in 1996, ASTRALCOM was born into the beginnings of the digital revolution, providing digital solutions to companies like Pioneer Entertainment, CKE Restaurants (Carl’s Jr./Hardee’s), Knott’s Berry Farm and many other early Internet adopters. Immediately, the agency formed several strategic collaborative partnerships with Southwestern Bell, Earthlink, GTE and quickly grew into the 15th Fastest Growing Tech Company in Los Angeles County.

In 2002, ASTRALCOM executives were appointed to the City of Long Beach Mayor’s Technology Advisory Committee. Then, in 2003, ASTRALCOM’s VP of E-Business was awarded California Businessman of the Year and the following year, in 2004, he was also appointed to the Presidential Advisory Commission under President George W. Bush.

In 2005, when traditional ad agencies were buying web firms, ASTRALCOM flipped-the-script and acquired an ad agency to round out it’s client-centered offerings – evolving from a purely digital shop into a full-service integrated media organization. This new addition of services enabled ASTRALCOM to maximize digital and traditional marketing efforts for their clients, increasing their referral rates and making their marketing dollars go further.

In 2007, ASTRALCOM was ranked in the Top 10 Most Dependable Agencies in Southern California. In 2008, ASTRALCOM was ranked in the Top 10 Most Dependable Agencies in the State of California.

During the 18 years that ASTRALCOM has been helping clients grow their businesses, they have achieved multiple awards and continue to grow an average of 18% per year.
