About

As of June 1, 2022, The Market Place is under new ownership. Founder, Erin Freel has grown the business for the past 22 years, serving hundreds of agricultural clients with their marketing needs.

Dillon Media, based in Ocala, Florida, will run The Market Place with the same care and attention to client needs.

“It’s bittersweet as our clients are like family; some have been with us for 15-plus years. The only job I ever wanted growing up was telling the story of the American Farmer and promoting US Agriculture. I have had a blessed career with some of the best clients and truly rewarding projects.”

Jeff Dillon, owner of Dillon Media, and Erin have worked together for several years on various projects. Erin has referred projects to Dillon Media over the years and Dillon Media has a background in agriculture and equine, working for the several ag organizations and many notable equine farms and Associations in the Horse Capital of the World.

“I trust Dillon Media and the team to make take care of our clients.”

Dillon Media is a video production and web design company with national experience and over 37 years in the business. While they have a larger production team than TMP, they still have a local hometown feel and personal approach to working with clients.

Erin would like to thank her longtime friend and business colleague, Joel Bockoras, for 18 years of service to The Market Place. Moving forward they both will be working together in Commercial Real Estate in Marion County continuing their business relationship.
