Trokine Defense Practice
We coordinate your strategy and get your brand in print and digital ad space in the defense publications your buyers read. You approve the creative — we handle everything else.
Why Trokine
Defense publications have their own rate structures, editorial calendars, audience profiles, and ad specs. Getting it right requires knowing the landscape — and most startups do not have time to figure it out.
Trokine is run by a military and DoD professional. We know the publications, who reads them, and where your budget does the most work. You stay focused on the product. We put you in front of the right people.
Tell us your goals and your budget. We plan the placements, negotiate the rates, traffic the creative, and confirm the runs. You give a thumbs up on copy.
We produce creative that speaks to a defense audience, not adapted from a commercial tech framework. The right language for program managers, acquisition officials, and prime contractors.
For $400 a month your team has a defense media expert on call. Ask us anything — we'll tell you where to advertise, what it costs, whether an opportunity is worth it, and how to make the most of your budget. It's like adding a senior marketing resource for less than a day's consulting rate.
