The Reality
Your Content Is
Either Working
for You — or Against You.
Most local businesses know they need better content. The ones that do something about it — video on their website, consistent social media, professional photography — win more business than the ones that do not. That gap is only getting wider.
We work with local businesses throughout the Birmingham metro. Every client is different, but the problem is usually the same: great products or services, and a digital presence that does not reflect it. That is a fixable problem — and fixing it drives real revenue.
We are not a content factory. We are a strategy-first creative team. Before we ever pick up a camera, we understand what you are trying to accomplish and build everything around that goal.
Content is not an expense. It is the thing that makes everything else you spend money on actually work.
86%
Of Businesses Use Video
Video marketing has gone from a differentiator to a baseline expectation. Businesses without it are invisible to a growing segment of buyers.
87%
Report Direct Sales Impact
The majority of businesses that invest in video report it directly increased their sales. It is the highest-converting content format available to local businesses.
3×
More Organic Reach
Social media posts with video generate significantly more reach and engagement than photo or text posts — which means more eyeballs on your business for the same effort.
57%
Of Consumers Research Online First
Before a customer walks through your door or picks up the phone, they have already looked you up. What they find — or do not find — determines whether they call.
The Gap
Most Businesses Are
Leaving Money on the Table.
What We See
Website with no video and outdated photos from five years ago
Social media posts that are inconsistent, off-brand, or just not happening
No clear story about why a customer should choose you over the competition
Great reviews and word-of-mouth — but nothing online that reflects it
Content that looks like a business that does not take itself seriously
Marketing spend on ads with no strong creative to back it up
What We Build
A brand video that tells your story and converts visitors into customers
A consistent monthly social presence that keeps your business top of mind
Clear, compelling positioning that gives customers a reason to choose you
Professional photography that matches the quality of your actual product
Content that looks like a business worth trusting with someone's money
Creative that makes every dollar of your ad spend work harder
What We Offer
Every Service Your
Business Needs.
Brand Video
A hero video that lives on your website and tells people exactly who you are, what you do, and why they should choose you — in 60 to 90 seconds. The single highest-impact content investment most local businesses can make.
Social Media Management
We plan, create, and post content consistently for your business so you do not have to think about it. Strategy, creation, and posting on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Monthly retainers with a clear content calendar.
Photography
Product photography, team headshots, event coverage, and brand imagery for your website and marketing materials. Professional photos that match the quality of what you actually deliver to customers.
Testimonial Videos
Your best customers, on camera, in their own words. Nothing converts a prospect like hearing from someone who was exactly where they are now. Testimonial videos shorten your sales cycle and build trust faster than any ad.
Branding & Website
Logo and identity systems, website design, and brand guidelines for businesses that need to look the part. Built for clarity and conversion — not just aesthetics. Your website either closes customers or loses them.
Business Consulting
One-on-one consulting sessions with Andrew — 16 years of running successful businesses. Marketing strategy, content planning, operational clarity, and positioning work. No fluff. Just direct guidance from someone who has been in the room.

Why HRZN Media
We Have Been on
Your Side of the Table.
Andrew Rape has owned and operated successful businesses since 2010. He currently runs CrossFit Trussville, The PHNX Collective, and Drip IV Therapy. He has been the business owner deciding whether content is worth the investment.
That experience is not a credential — it is a completely different lens for the work. When we shape strategy for a local business, it is informed by what actually moves the needle, not by what looks good in a portfolio.
Strategy before cameras. Every project starts with your goal. Not our gear list, not a standard package.
Real business ownership experience. Andrew has run businesses for 16+ years. He understands what content has to accomplish to justify the investment.
Local and invested. We are based in Trussville. We know this market, these neighborhoods, and these businesses. You are not working with an out-of-state agency.
One team for everything. Video, social, photography, branding, consulting — no need to manage multiple vendors. One relationship, one point of contact.
Unlimited revisions. We deliver until you are satisfied. Scope additions are quoted separately — but revisions on agreed work are unlimited.

Common Questions
FAQ
How much does this cost?
We do not publish set pricing because every project is different. A brand video, a monthly social retainer, and a photography session are all scoped differently. The best first step is a short call — we will give you a straight answer on your specific situation, not a vague range.
We have a small budget. Can you still help?
Yes. We work with businesses at various budget levels. We will be honest with you about what is achievable at different price points and help you prioritize the highest-impact work first. A single great brand video often moves the needle more than a scattered collection of cheaper content.
How long does a project take?
A brand video typically takes 2–4 weeks from kickoff to delivery. Photography turns around within 48–72 hours. Social media management is ongoing. We will give you a clear timeline before we start and stick to it.
Do we own the content you produce?
Yes. You own all final deliverables. HRZN Media retains the right to use the work in our portfolio — which is standard industry practice. If you need exclusivity, we can discuss that as part of the project scope.
What if I do not know what I need?
That is exactly what the first call is for. Tell us what you are trying to accomplish — more customers, better brand perception, stronger social presence — and we will tell you what we think will actually move the needle for your specific business.
Do you work outside of Trussville?
Yes. We serve clients throughout the greater Birmingham metro — Hoover, Vestavia Hills, Mountain Brook, Homewood, Pelham, Chelsea, and surrounding areas. We travel statewide for the right projects.
