Letter From The CEO DJ Wimberly

As the new year begins, I want to take a moment to speak directly to you — our past and future clients, friends, and supporters of Wimberly Media Group.

The start of each year offers us an opportunity for reflection — to look back on our successes and setbacks, our lessons learned, and the new goals we set for the future.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 21 years since I first launched Wimberly Media Group. Over those years, we’ve been privileged to serve over 1,000 clients worldwide, recognized as the #1 web design firm on Guru, and even featured on CNN. Those accomplishments still fill me with pride.

But no journey worth taking is without its challenges. And no story of success is complete without acknowledging the moments we fell short. Despite all of our achievements, I made mistakes. I grew too fast, took on too much, and didn’t build the internal structure needed to sustain our momentum. I wanted to do everything myself — and as the company grew, that approach became unsustainable.

Then, I faced one of the most painful experiences of my life: the loss of my mother — my biggest inspiration and the heart of my motivation. Her passing left me unfocused and emotionally drained, and for a time, I lost sight of the purpose that once drove me.

Those combined challenges led to my decision to voluntarily pause operations for a period of deep reflection and rebuilding.

I take full responsibility for the mistakes of the past. But I also take immense pride in the lessons they taught me — about leadership, communication, accountability, and the importance of trust in a team. Every setback prepared me for this moment.

Now, with new systems, new energy, and a renewed commitment to excellence, I am proud to announce:

The new Wimberly Media Group is here.

2025 marks not just another year, but a new beginning. A new era of creativity, collaboration, and client partnership.

Welcome to the next chapter.
Welcome to The New Wimberly Media Group.
