Where Hype Meets Impact

Some brands chase attention. Others create movements. At Hype/Volume Media, we do the latter. We don’t just generate buzz—we fill venues, book gigs, and build brand loyalty that lasts. Whether you’re a chef launching a new concept, a musician looking for brand deals, or an event organizer wanting a packed house, we craft high-impact strategiesthat turn audiences into fans and fans into revenue.

Our Mission

Marketing shouldn’t be something businesses struggle to justify. The best brands don’t spend time proving their worth—they command attention effortlessly. That’s why we’ve built Hype/Volume Media to be a must-have, not a nice-to-have.

Our mission is simple: we drive real-world engagement that translates into packed spaces, sold-out events, and game-changing brand partnerships. Through a mix of PR, digital marketing, event strategy, and audience-building expertise, we connect our clients with the right people, at the right time, in the right way.

We don’t just create hype—we create results.

Our Founder: From PR Powerhouse to Hype Builder

Robert Michael Veliz (Rob), the founder of Hype/Volume Media, has spent over 25 years leading digital strategy, brand marketing, and PR for some of the biggest names in the industry.

As the former Head of Digital Practice at Porter Novelli’s New York office, Rob worked with Fortune 500 brands to craft high-profile media campaigns, influencer activations, and digital strategies that shaped public perception. His career spans roles at Microsoft, Amazon, Sephora, and Abercrombie & Fitch, where he led SEO, digital experience, and content strategy efforts on a global scale.

But corporate wasn’t where his passion was.

With deep roots in media, hospitality, and entertainment, Robert has always been drawn to the people and places that create culture—the chefs, bar owners, musicians, and event organizers shaping the way we experience food, nightlife, and live entertainment. Hype/Volume Media is the evolution of that passion—a company built to elevate the brands that bring people together.
