Some of the companies we’ve shot for
You’ll work directly with me
I’m Garrett. I started Porter Media behind a camera, and I’m still the one on your job site filming your crew. We plan, shoot, and edit everything in-house, so the content ends up looking like your company.
We started in video production, so the content comes first. The posting, the reporting, and the ads are built on top of it. We’re based in Tampa and drive to every shoot.
What we do
Five ways to work with us. Not sure which one fits? That’s what the call is for.
Why we shoot two kinds of content
Native gets people used to seeing your crew. Polished makes you the top choice and sells the offer. Either one can run as a paid ad. We test them against each other, because sometimes the phone-shot reel beats the cinema one.

Built for the trades
Home service companies are who we shoot for most. The work is visual, the crews are real people, and the phone ringing is the whole point.
Pest Control
Your techs and trucks on camera, so neighbors know the name before they need you.
Roofing
Before and afters and drone shots that show the work from every angle.
HVAC
Your techs explaining the fix, so homeowners trust you before you ring the bell.
Plumbing
Straight-talking videos that make your crew the easy call.
Landscaping
Transformations that sell the result before anyone picks up the phone.
Electrical
Your electricians on the job, working safe and explaining it plainly.
Restoration
Calm, reassuring content for the worst day a homeowner has.
Pool Builders
The backyard reveal that sells the next big build.
General Contractors
Full builds and remodels that show you run a serious shop.
Not a home service business?
Home services are who we shoot for most, but they’re not the only ones. We’ve also worked with businesses in these industries.

Garrett’s easy to communicate with, responsive, and clearly knows his craft. If you’re looking for a media partner who actually delivers, this is who you call. Highly recommend.”
“We’ve used Porter Media for the last year and couldn’t recommend them more. They are professional, great ideas, well organized, and fast.”
“10/10 experience, Garret is so talented and his team put together an incredible video for my mobile detailing business. Whole process is seamless, and definitely will be a recurring client!”

Questions owners ask us
How much does social media content cost in Tampa Bay?
It depends on how much content your market needs. Social Media Management starts at $1,500 a month and covers strategy, a monthly shoot, editing, posting to Instagram, Facebook, and more, weekday inbox checks, and a monthly report. If you only need content to post yourself, a one-time Content Sprint starts at $1,200. We’ll give you an exact number on the call.
What’s the difference between a content agency and a social media management agency?
Most businesses hire one or the other and end up with half a system. A content agency shoots great video that sits in a folder because nobody posts it. A social media manager posts on schedule, but the content doesn’t stop anyone scrolling. We do both: we shoot it and we post it, so the monthly report actually tells us what to shoot next. We also cover the community basics. We check the inbox every weekday, reply to comments and reviews, including your Google Business Profile, and send DMs and leads straight to you. We don’t watch it 24/7.
What’s included in The Content Engine?
The Content Engine is the monthly program inside Social Media Management: strategy, a monthly shoot, Native and Polished content, captions, posting to Instagram and Facebook (plus LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, and Google Business Profile), weekday inbox checks, and a monthly report. It comes in three plans, Consistency, Authority, and Dominance, set by how often you show up, from 1 to 2 posts a week up to 3 to 4. Exact deliverables depend on your plan, and every plan has a three-month minimum.
What’s the difference between Native and Polished content?
Native content is made to feel at home in the feed, usually shot on an iPhone, and it’s how people get used to seeing your crew. Polished content is shot on cinema cameras and makes you look like the top choice. Either one can run as a paid ad, and we test them against each other, because sometimes the phone-shot reel wins.
Do you post the content for us?
Yes, posting is part of Social Media Management. We shoot it, edit it, write captions for your trade and your market, schedule it, and post it to Instagram, Facebook, and your other platforms, then send you a monthly report. If you’d rather post it yourself, Content Production gets you the content without the management.
Can I just hire you to run ads?
Yes. We run Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and Google Ads. Creative is a huge part of ad success, so we recommend running them on content we shoot with you. But if you already have someone for content, we can run your ads with it.
Do you only work with home service businesses?
No. Home service companies are who we shoot for most, but we’ve also worked with supply and distribution, manufacturing, medical, fitness, fintech, automotive, and restaurants and venues. If we’re a good fit, let’s talk.
What areas of Tampa Bay does Porter Media serve?
We’re based in Tampa and serve the greater Tampa Bay area, including South Tampa, Brandon, Riverview, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Wesley Chapel, Lakeland, Bradenton, and the communities around them. We drive to every shoot.
Content marketing that looks like your company
Most Tampa home service companies know they should be posting. The hard part is having something worth posting every month, and someone who actually posts it. That’s the whole job for us. We plan the month with you, shoot at your shop and on your job sites, edit Native and Polished pieces from the same day, and post them to Facebook and Instagram on a schedule.
Content marketing works for the trades because people hire who they recognize. When a homeowner has seen your crew in their feed for months, you’re already familiar when the AC dies or the roof starts leaking. They know your trucks, your people, and how you work.
We keep it local. We’re based in Tampa and shoot across Tampa Bay, from Wesley Chapel and Lutz down to Brandon, Riverview, and Bradenton. Every shoot is planned, shot, and edited in-house.
Already have someone posting? Content Production gets you the content without the management. Ready for more calls? Paid Advertising puts money behind the pieces that are already working. And if you want the whole thing handled, Social Media Management covers all of it: we shoot it, post it, and report on what worked.
