Passion is the core
We’re a locally owned agency. Not a branch office. Not a Toronto agency with a u201cwe also serve the Kawarthasu201d line at the bottom of the contact form.
Fire Horse Digital is photography, video, design, and the kind of marketing small businesses actually need u2014 the kind that doesnu2019t require a twelve-person team and a monthly retainer that could cover full time staffer.
I started taking pictures in 2009 because I liked it.
Not because a business plan told me to. I went full time with it in 2019. Before that I spent twenty-one years in marketing, and Iu2019ve been making the creatives that goes with it since 2002. At some point it got silly pretending those were separate lives. So I am working with both of my passions now.
The approach
For small businesses
Big brands have departments for this. The restaurant on the corner, the shop on King, the reno crew between jobs, the farm that also bottled something this year u2014 you get whoever has time after supper.Thatu2019s the gap I like.Good photographs. Video that doesnu2019t look like a hostage reading a script. Graphics that hold together. Social that shows up even when youu2019re slammed. Not to make you look like a chain. To make you look like yourselves, on purpose, so the chains donu2019t get the whole conversation.If youu2019re a small business in Peterborough, Millbrook, or the Kawartha Lakes and your marketing has been a bit of a shrug, thatu2019s a normal place to begin.
For individuals
The other half of the work is quieter. Families. Milestones. The photograph in the drawer that got bent, faded, or left out in a flood. Sometimes itu2019s a shoot for keeping memories. I like that job more than is probably professional to admit.
