Your community is doing great work. We make sure residents, businesses, and site selectors actually see it.
Strategy, filming, editing, and posting. You approve. We handle the rest.
Built for the people telling your community's story
Whether you run the city's channels or the EDC's board meeting, the job is the same: show people what your community is doing.
City communications & PIOs
You are running the city's social media, the newsletter, the website, and the press calls. Usually alone.
EDC directors
Your board wants to see impact. Businesses and site selectors want proof your community is the right bet.
City managers
Residents form opinions about city hall from what they see online. Give them something worth watching.
Local government is hard to make visible
It fails for boring reasons, not dramatic ones.
One person, ten jobs
Most Texas cities run communications with one or two people. Video is the first thing that falls off.
Everything clears a room
Council, a board, legal, the city manager. By the time it's approved, the moment has passed.
Residents stopped reading
Agendas, press releases, and newsletters still go out. Attention moved to video and stayed there.
What we actually make
Take one piece or hand us the whole operation. Most clients start with one and grow into the rest.
City & EDC podcasts
A recurring show with your mayor, director, or city manager as the trusted local voice.
Business & community spotlights
Interview series featuring the employers, founders, and leaders who make your community work.
Event coverage
Ribbon cuttings, groundbreakings, council milestones, and community events captured for year-round use.
Short-form engine
Every shoot becomes vertical clips for Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and LinkedIn.
Full social media management
Strategy, calendar, filming, editing, and posting. You approve, we publish.
Proof, not promises
Two Texas communities, two very different sizes. Read one, then tell us which sounds like yours.

How it works
A free strategy call
Thirty minutes. We learn what you are trying to move and tell you honestly whether we can help.
A written scope and quote
Plain language, formatted so you can drop it into a council or board packet.
We run the operation
We film, edit, caption, schedule, and post. Nothing publishes without your sign-off.
We know how local government works
Procurement-ready
Scopes and quotes that survive a board packet. We respond to RFPs and RFQs and work under a standard professional services agreement.
Your approval, always
Every post and video goes through your review first.
Records-friendly
You own every file, edited and raw, so your records and archiving stay in your hands.
Built for small teams
We act as your video department, so your one-person comms office doesn't have to become one.
Questions we get
Do you work with small cities?
Yes. Luling has about 7,000 residents. Small teams are exactly who we help most.
Can you work within our procurement process?
Yes. We provide written scopes for council or board approval, respond to RFPs and RFQs, and work under a standard professional services agreement.
We already handle our own social media. Can we just hire you for video?
Yes. Many clients start with one podcast or video series and keep posting themselves.
Who approves what gets posted?
You do. Nothing goes out without sign-off.
Who owns the footage?
You do. You get the edited deliverables and the raw files.
How long until we launch?
A recurring show typically takes four to six weeks from kickoff to first published episode. Event coverage moves faster.
Can EDC funds pay for this?
Many Texas EDCs fund marketing and promotion from their budget. Check with your board and legal counsel on your specific use.

impossible to miss.
