Have you noticed how many people are staring at a handheld device?  What about all of the people with buds in their ears?  If you are limiting your advertising to radio and newspaper, you aren’t reaching them.  To reach them, you have to get into that stream of photos they are swiping through or get into the podcasts they are listening to.  Painted Barn Media can help you get into that stream of photos that people swipe through for hours on end.  Painted Barn Media has a vibrant growing social media following in Warren County. This is your opportunity to leverage that following to increase awareness of your brand and message.

Who is Painted Barn Media

Painted Barn Media is a sole proprietorship formed by Geoff Griffin in February of 2017.  Painted Barn Media provides a range of photographic and graphic design services, but Geoff has found his niche as a sports photographer and he has spent countless hours developing the skills required to produce high quality sports images.  Geoff has received photo credits for hundreds of his photos in the following publications: Southern Standard, Warren County Sports Authority website, Crossville Times, Bryan College Athletics website, and Ben Lomand Connect magazine.

Social Media

Painted Barn Media’s Facebook presence started as the primary marketing tool for Painted Barn Media.  It has grown steadily over the past 4 years to its current level of almost 4,000 followers. During football season a number of followers don’t even start their day until they’ve reviewed the photo albums from the previous night’s football game

Advertising Opportunity

After 3 years of covering sports in Warren County, this is the first time Painted Barn Media is opening its albums as an advertising vehicle for businesses and organizations.  Advertising in these albums would consist of placing your Business or Organization’s logo on every photo as the watermark and inclusion of advertising graphics that you provide as content within the Photo Album. There will only be one sponsor per album so your Business/Organization’s logo would be the only logo on each of the photos. As users swipe through the photos in the album they will see your logo on every photo and they will encounter the message you wish to convey at various points throughout the album.  Your logo and advertising graphics can be changed as much as you wish throughout the season.

Photo albums are created for each of the groups participating at a given event.  As an example let’s look at a Warren County High School Football Game:

  • Football Players Album
  • Football Cheerleaders Album
  • Marching Band Album
  • Pioneerettes Album
  • Fans Album

Each of these albums are available for your logo to be placed as a watermark to identify your brand on each photo and advertising graphics to be inserted in the albums with the photos to convey your message.
