§ Company · The Operating Picture
A founder-led company,
built for national scale.
Image Media Corporation is a California corporation building the national standard for automotive social media. This page is for partners, advisors, and serious strategic conversations.
Mission
To be the operating system that runs the social media of every dealership in America.
Forty thousand dealerships in the United States. Almost none of them are winning the buyer’s phone yet. The category is wide open and the technology that decides which dealerships survive the next decade is already here. We exist to make sure operator-grade execution — not luck and not the latest agency pitch — is what determines who wins.
We are building IMC the way we would have wanted a vendor to show up at our own dealership twenty years ago: in person, on the floor, accountable for the output, transparent on the numbers, and willing to take ownership of every single upload.
Leadership
Founder-led by design.
Founder & CEO
Michael Taylor
More than two decades in automotive sales management. Direct dealership-floor experience across multiple franchises and operating roles. Founded Image Media Corp to close the gap between what dealerships spend on advertising and what they actually publish to the channel buyers use.
Personally onboards every new dealership engagement during the company’s founding chapter.
[email protected]Operating Posture
Owner-operator company
No outside investors at this stage. Optionality preserved on raise, partnership, or growth-equity participation in future rounds.
Founder accessible to every account
Through this growth chapter, the founder personally meets every new dealership client, runs the kickoff shoot, and remains the escalation contact for the full first 90 days.
Built for category leadership
Every system — production, editing, reporting, account management — is being built for the company we intend to be at 100, 500, and 1,000 dealerships, not the company we are today.
Headquartered in Temecula, California
Field producers and account directors deployed regionally. National rollout underway through 2026 and 2027.
