When your brand evolves, your media should evolve with you. ✨

We created a fresh intro video for Salons by JC Southlake to showcase all the new assets we’ve captured month after month — and now it plays the moment you walk through their doors.

This is a perfect example of how intentional media can work for your business:
📺 On your lobby TVs
🌐 On your website
📱 Across your social platforms
🔍 And with the right captioning, it can even rank in organic search on YouTube

This is how you maximize your reach.
This is how you show up online and in person with purpose.
This is not just content — it’s strategy.

When you invest in brand storytelling, you’re building an experience your clients feel before you ever say a word. And that’s when content stops being “nice to have” and becomes a true business tool.

If your business is ready for elevated media that works as hard as you do, let’s create something unforgettable. 🎥✨

When we say “support local,” we don’t just post about it — we build things that move the needle for our community. ✨

OldTownKeller.com is one of our newest initiatives, created to give this historic district a real voice, a platform, and a place where locals can discover the businesses, stories, and people who make OTK special.

We built the website.
We write the blogs.
We advocate for this district.
We connect the dots through storytelling and visibility.

This is also our home base. Kickin’ It Media Group lives in this district. We’re part of the fabric of Old Town Keller. We don’t just work here… we build here.

What many people don’t know is that this work started long before Kickin' It Media ever existed. We stepped into serving our community as faith-driven entrepreneurs who believe business is ministry — a way to serve, build relationships, and steward what God places in our hands.

That heart hasn’t changed.

Our initiatives like Kickin’ It Local, Kickin’ It in Keller, and now OldTownKeller.com remain free for the community because supporting small isn’t a marketing slogan for us — it’s the mission we were called to.

And we’re grateful that God turned that mission into a company that now helps other businesses grow, show up, and shine online with strategy, storytelling, and big-brand quality.

If you’re a business within Old Town Keller, you can add yourself to the directory and be part of what’s coming

Meet Ashley — the woman behind the screen, the strategy, the storytelling, and the spark at Kickin’ It Media. ✨

With 25 years of entrepreneurship under her belt, she brings a rare blend of creativity, business intelligence, and lived experience. From brand development to social media strategy, she’s the brain behind the concepts and the heart behind the stories we tell.

Ashley has a gift for seeing what others miss — the moments, the messaging, the meaning. If she’s not building a business from the ground up, she’s helping our clients build theirs with clarity, intention, and personality.

She’s also kickin’ it all over town — supporting small businesses, discovering local gems, and doing what she loves: connecting with people, building community, and championing local growth. For the past three years, she has served on the Keller Economic Development Board. It's not a business for her, it's a mission.

She’s a founder, a storyteller, a strategist, a foodie, and a community builder. This is Ashley — one of the hearts behind Kickin’ It Media Group. 💛

Let’s be real… most business owners don’t have the time (or desire) to live on social media.

And honestly? You shouldn’t have to.

Here’s why hiring a creative agency changes everything for your brand:

1️⃣ Your content gets created consistently — without you stopping your day.
2️⃣ We step into your world and capture real moments that actually connect.
3️⃣ Strategy meets storytelling, so your brand grows with intention… not confusion.
4️⃣ No more forcing yourself into trends (unless you’re into that 😅).
5️⃣ You get a full creative team — photo, video, design, strategy, and organic marketing.
6️⃣ And best of all? You get your time back so you can focus on the part of your business only you can do.

This is what we do for local businesses every single day.
Big-brand quality. Local heart. Real results.

If you’re ready to stop juggling content and start showing up with clarity + consistency, let’s talk. 🎥

When local talent shows up, we show it off. 🔥🎶

Texas Heat asked us to create a highlight they could share with businesses across DFW — something polished, energetic, and true to who they are as performers. So we stepped in with our cameras, captured the vibe of the night, and crafted a long-form feature that showcases their sound, their stage presence, and the experience they bring to every venue they play.

This is what we love most about working with local brands and creators. Whether it’s a small business, an artist, or a full band — everyone has a story worth amplifying. And when you invest in intentional content, you give people a reason to remember you, book you, and talk about you long after the show ends.

As creatives rooted in Keller and connected throughout DFW, projects like this hit home for us. We’re here to help local voices rise with big-brand storytelling and the heart of a community that backs its own.

If you’re a performer or business ready for high-quality video content that captures your energy and elevates your brand, we’re ready when you are.
🎥✨ Kickin’ It Media Group — big brand energy, local heart.

Grand openings hit different when you’re rooted in the same community you’re creating for. 💙🌴

We stopped by the celebration for The Caribbean Chiropractor, and this is exactly why we love what we do. Local businesses bringing fresh energy to Grapevine, sharing their story, and opening their doors with heart.

As content creators and small business owners, moments like this fuel our mission. We get to capture the excitement, the faces, the details—and turn it into storytelling that helps brands build trust and visibility right here at home.

This is the heartbeat of Kickin’ It Media Group:
✨ Big-brand strategy
✨ Local connection
✨ Story-driven content
✨ Community advocacy through Kickin' It Local initiatives

If you're building something local (or want to step up your brand presence), we’re here to help you show up online with intention, personality, and consistency.

Welcome to the small business community, Dr. Humberto and Rachel. We’re cheering you on!

Tik Tok is growing up...

Here’s the thing: you don’t need to be on every platform… but you do need to understand where your audience hangs out.

I saw this chart about TikTok’s age shift and thought, “WOOF… the internet is always shifting.”

But let me be clear:
I’m not out here signing myself up to manage TikTok accounts. We do a little dibble dabble but, I know my lane — Instagram and Facebook are where I build visibility, trust, and local impact for my clients.

However, data like this matters because it reminds us of something important:

➡️ Your audience is always evolving.
➡️ Their habits shift.
➡️ Platforms age up, age down, and change direction.

And if you’re running a business in 2025 and preparing for 2026, you can’t keep making decisions based on what was true five years ago.

If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. This is often the problem I see for small businesses. Tracking data helps you shape what your audience wants to see. What is working and what isn't?

You don’t have to be everywhere.
You don’t have to do every trend.
You just need a clear brand, clear messaging, and a clear strategy that meets your customer where they are.

That’s how you stay relevant.
That’s how you stay remembered.
And that’s exactly the lane we help our clients stay in.

If you are game planning for 2026, let's see if we are a fit to help you with your visibility. Book a discovery call. Link in comments.

🌿 Client Spotlight: Emerald Oak Real Estate

At Kickin’ It Media Group, we love helping small businesses take their vision from an idea to a full-blown brand that connects and converts. One of our favorite parts of what we do is watching an idea grow — from a single conversation to something that’s living, breathing, and thriving in the marketplace.

That’s exactly what happened with this project.

When this husband-and-wife duo came to us, they each had their own strengths, style, and perspective — but one shared mission: to build a real estate brand rooted in trust, connection, and community. Together, we walked them through our brand development process — from naming and identity to visual direction and strategy.

Through a series of creative sessions, we helped them:
✨ Define their brand foundation and story
✨ Align on a shared vision and purpose
✨ Establish a name and identity that reflects who they are and what they stand for
✨ Create a visual direction that connects with their ideal audience

The result? Emerald Oak Realty Group — a name that symbolizes growth, strength, and legacy. A brand that reflects both their heart for people and their professionalism in the industry.

This project was a perfect example of why we start every partnership with brand clarity before diving into content creation. Because without a solid foundation — your vision, audience, and message — marketing becomes noise instead of momentum.

We’re so proud of the work we created together and can’t wait to see Emerald Oak take root and grow in their market.

💡 At Kickin’ It Media Group, we only take on a select number of brand development clients each quarter. If you’re ready to clarify your vision and build a brand that stands out, book a discovery call through the link in the comments.
