Transformation Media Rebrands to TM Advertising
Same stellar service, new company name
EIGHTY FOUR, Pa. (Jan. 06, 2025) – TM Advertising – a division of 84 Lumber Company – is announcing it has changed its name from Transformation Media to TM Advertising to more clearly define its services.
When TM Advertising was originally formed under the name 84 Outdoor, its primary purpose was to support the advertising needs of 84 Lumber stores across the nation. 84 Lumber owner and CEO Maggie Hardy acquired the billboard company in 2016 from her father, Joe Hardy, and brought it under the umbrella of 84 Lumber as a subsidiary. With plans to continue expanding its advertising division, 84 Lumber associates were encouraged to submit name ideas, with a reward going to the winner. The name chosen was Transformation Media.
“Transformation Media has been a great name for the company as we worked to build our brand over the last eight years,” said Mark Gamble, vice president at TM Advertising. “While much of our marketing has highlighted the TM logo, we realized that the full name was sometimes overlooked due to its length and complexity, making it harder to read in certain materials. Additionally, there were occasional misunderstandings with other industries, like transportation.
“Simplifying the name to TM Advertising better reflects our core focus and will resonate more clearly with businesses seeking advertising solutions,” said Gamble. “As we look to the future, this change positions us to grow our presence in outdoor and digital billboards, while ensuring our brand remains easily recognizable and aligned with the evolving needs of our clients.”
