Building the Internet for Polonia Since 1995.

30 years before AI went mainstream. 3 years before Google. We didn't follow the digital revolution — we helped build it for Chicago's Polish-American community and beyond.

Our Impact

• 31+ years in business
• 150+ owned sites
• 500k+ Polish-Americans reached
• Bilingual EN + PL

Artur Borek — Founder & CEO, Media Express LLC

Started in Chicago. Still in Chicago.

In 1995, when most businesses didn't even have email addresses, Artur Borek founded Media Express LLC in Chicago. The internet was new. Web design was a novelty. Nobody had a playbook — so we wrote our own.

We serve everyone: startups, restaurants, law firms, medical practices, construction companies, real estate agencies. Every budget gets respect. Every client gets strategy.

Our History

• 1995 — Founded
  Artur Borek launches Media Express LLC in Chicago. Handcrafted HTML sites for Polish-American businesses. Google won't exist for another 3+ years.
• 1998 — Streaming Pioneer
  We build an experimental VoiceChat system and partner with Radio dla Ciebie. One of the earliest online audio streaming experiments serving Polish-American audiences.
• Early 2000s — SEO Roots
  As Google dominates, we develop SEO strategies for local and national clients.
• 2010s — Network Expansion
  We build Polish.Network, KatalogFirm.us, PolskieRadio.us and grow our media ecosystem to 150+ properties — the largest Polish-American digital network in the US.
• 2022–2023 — AI Pivot
  We recognize the AI search shift before most agencies do. We develop AI SEO (AIO) strategies and launch Szef.AI — AI tools built specifically for Polish-American small businesses.
• 2025–2026 — GEO Leadership
  We pioneer GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) — helping Chicago businesses get cited by ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.

We Don't Sell Access. We ARE the Network.

Most agencies are middlemen — they rent audiences they don't own and charge you for the privilege. We built ours from scratch over 31 years. Here's what that actually means for your business:

Challenges We Solve

• Invisible in AI search.
  We implement GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) — structured content, entity signals, and authority building so AI systems cite you by name.
• Cultural understanding.
  Our network reaches 500,000+ Polish-Americans through media they trust.
• Fast, efficient solutions.
  We build handcrafted static HTML — no WordPress, no page builders, no bloat. Our same-day website service can launch you in under 24 hours.
• Sustainable SEO strategies.
  We build real authority — genuine content and AI-era signals that survive algorithm changes.

How We Work

• Plain English, Always
  We explain what we're doing and why in language any business owner can understand.
• Every Budget Gets Respect
  We adjust our recommendations based on your situation — not our billing targets.
• Results, Not Vanity Metrics
  We measure leads, calls, and sales, focusing on tangible outcomes.
• We Test on Ourselves First
  Every strategy we recommend has been tested on our own properties.

The Largest Polish-American Digital Network in the US

We own and operate a growing ecosystem of Polish-American media, business directories, AI tools, and community platforms. This is real reach, not rented reach.
