PHOENIX, AZ — Palabra Media, a Phoenix-based full-service multicultural marketing agency, today announced a major leadership milestone as Founder Joshua Molina has officially acquired all outstanding shares of the company, becoming sole owner and assuming the title of President and Chief Marketing Officer. This transition marks a pivotal moment for the agency as it approaches its two-year anniversary this month.

Since its founding, Palabra Media has quickly established itself as a trusted partner for businesses across Arizona and beyond, delivering impactful marketing strategies, creative execution, and measurable growth. In that short time, the agency has built a strong portfolio of work, cultivated meaningful client relationships, assembled a talented team, and developed key partnerships across media and community organizations. Palabra Media has also earned notable recognition, including honors such as Entrepreneur of the Year and being named among the Best Web Design Agencies in Phoenix.

“This is an exciting moment for our company,” said Molina. “We’ve accomplished a lot in a short time, and that’s a direct result of the people who have believed in us: our clients, partners, team members, and community. This new chapter allows us to move forward with a clear, unified vision and continue building something special.”

As part of this next phase of growth, Palabra Media is also announcing the addition of Marcus McCoy, longtime owner of Go Viral Marketing, as Fractional Chief Operating Officer. McCoy brings deep operational expertise and a track record of scaling marketing organizations, further strengthening the agency’s leadership team.

With this new investment and leadership structure in place, Palabra Media is positioned to expand its team, enhance internal resources, and elevate the level of service delivered to clients.

Over the past two years, the agency has not only supported brands through innovative marketing strategies but has also played an active role in the local community—hosting events, collaborating with community leaders, and participating in speaking engagements across the region. These efforts have helped amplify both client brands and Palabra Media’s own presence in the market.

The company recently completed a redesign of its website, palabramedia.com, reinforcing its commitment to clarity, performance, and culturally fluent marketing strategies. While the digital relaunch marks an important brand evolution, today’s leadership announcement signals an even greater focus on long-term growth, operational excellence, and client success.

“This is about building for the future,” Molina added. “We’re doubling down on what’s working, investing in the right people, and continuing to serve our clients with intention, creativity, and accountability.”

As Palabra Media celebrates its second year, the company remains focused on delivering high-impact marketing solutions across industries including retail, service, healthcare, legal, nonprofit, and technology while maintaining its core strength in multicultural and Hispanic marketing.
