Most agencies treat small businesses like small accounts. The strategy is generic, the content feels borrowed, and the relationship ends when the retainer does.
We built Kickin’ It Media Group to be different. Not because we planned to start an agency — but because after 20 years of running our own businesses, we knew exactly what small business owners needed and exactly what they were being undersold.
We’re Ashley and Mike Stone — a married creative team based in Keller, Texas. Our work is built on a simple belief: every local business has a story worth telling, and the right visuals and strategy can change how a business is perceived overnight.
Ashley brings 20 years of entrepreneurship, brand strategy, and creative direction. She’s built businesses from the ground up, managed social media at scale, and understands the gap between where most small businesses are and where they could be online.
Mike is a certified Part 107 drone pilot and documentary-style photographer and videographer. He shoots with one goal: to capture the real character of your business — not a staged version of it. Whether he’s capturing a restaurant service, a salon team, or aerial footage of a property, the work speaks for itself.
Together, they bring strategy and execution under one roof. Ashley builds the plan. Mike brings it to life. The result is content that’s cohesive, intentional, and built to work.
Ashley leads every client relationship at Kickin’ It Media Group. She begins with a deep-dive into your business: your audience, your goals, what’s working, and what’s holding you back online.
From there, she builds a brand and content strategy tailored to you — not a template. She defines your brand voice, maps out your content direction, manages your social media presence, and consults on everything from your website copy to your in-store experience.
Mike is the creative eye behind every shoot. As a documentary-style photographer and videographer, he focuses on capturing what makes your business real — the people, the moments, the details that customers connect with.
He holds a Part 107 FAA drone certification, giving Kickin’ It Media Group the ability to deliver aerial photography and video that most local agencies simply can’t offer. From sweeping property shots to elevated brand reels, drone footage adds a level of production value that immediately sets your content apart.
We don’t hand you a package and disappear. Every client relationship begins with a discovery call — a real conversation about your business, your audience, and what success actually looks like for you.
From there, Ashley builds the strategy. Mike executes the visuals. Together, they make sure every piece of content we produce serves a purpose, fits your brand, and adds up to something that grows your business over time.
Our process is structured around three core principles:
We start with strategy — understanding your audience, your competitors, your positioning, and your goals before a single photo is taken or a post goes live.
Every photo, video, and piece of copy we produce is crafted with intention. Nothing is filler. Everything earns its place.
Good content needs to be distributed consistently and strategically. We manage the posting, the engagement, and the ongoing optimization that keeps your brand growing.
Our client roster spans a wide range of local industries — each one a business we’re genuinely proud to have worked with:
