                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRIAN HIGGINS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 21, 2019

  Mr. HIGGINS of New York. Madam Speaker, today I rise to acknowledge 
the success of Gupta Media and Mr. Gogi Gupta's commitment to the 
Western New York Community on Thursday, November 21, 2019.
  Gupta Media is a digital marketing agency that specializes in media 
buying, creative design, and technology solutions. Since their founding 
in 2005 by Gogi Gupta they have consistently been on the forefront of 
maximizing advertising effectiveness for clients in multiple 
industries. Currently, Gupta Media represents a number of music artists 
signed to both large and small record labels, including artists who 
have performed and been nominated during the Grammy awards show in past 
years. This October Gupta Media was included as a case study within the 
Harvard Business Review, where it was recognized as having a successful 
business model which optimizes its clients marketing dollars with a 
high degree of performance.
  During his youth Mr. Gupta spent some of his time in Pittsburgh 
before finishing high school in Hamburg, NY, a suburb of Buffalo, NY. 
He attended Frontier High School before being accepted to Cornell 
University, where he graduated in 2000 with a degree in public policy. 
He founded Gupta Media in 2005 after deciding to take his marketing 
career into his own hands. The companies first major success came when 
they helped the music duo Aly & AJ reach the top of MTV's ``Total 
Request Live'' charts. Since then, Gupta Media has only grown in 
stature and now proudly employs more than 50 people.
  Following this success Mr. Gupta did not stop, going on to create the 
automated and publicly available product smartURL in 2011. Built to 
redirect online users to specific internet destinations based on the 
country they are accessing the site from, smartURL has been used by 
professional athletes, multinational corporations, and celebrities, and 
is another example of the intelligent innovation Mr. Gupta has 
fostered.
  While Mr. Gupta currently lives in Boston, MA, where he manages Gupta 
Media, he has remained connected to his hometown of Buffalo, NY. He has 
adopted fandom for the local MLB team, the Boston Red Sox, but is still 
loyal to his hometown Buffalo Bills and Sabers. Mr. Gogi Gupta is 
emblematic of the hard work and dedication that the Western New York 
community thrives on, and I am proud that Mr. Gupta finds his roots in 
Buffalo.
  Madam Speaker, I am certain that Mr. Gupta will continue to be at the 
forefront of change and foster innovation and creativity. We extend our 
best wishes to him and Gupta Media as they continue to lead this 
industry into the future.
