Our History

For 13 years, Tempesta Media has worked with more than 27,000 industry experts to create over 80,000 content assets, meeting the needs of over 400 customers. We leveraged this deep experience to build the foundational components of Augmented Experts.

After developing 30+ technological innovations and writing 1,000,000+ lines of code, we have discovered how to marry humanity and technology to create engaging and impactful content that achieves a company’s financial and strategic objectives.

Augmented Experts is the first embodiment of that breakthrough.
