Small Fox Media, a Jacksonville based TV, film and social media business, celebrated its one-year anniversary in August this year. The young company is celebrating big
accomplishments in the debut year, working with and producing video and/or
social media content for local, regional, and national companies including: FIS
Global, Retro Fitness, One Spark, Adamec Harley-Davidson, Pure Barre, and
Drug Free Duval.

Small Fox Media owner, Kayla Beckmann, formerly of Void Magazine and
Shepherd Agency, started Small Fox in August 2014 and is taking a different
approach in company structure. She teamed up with Jacksonville
cinematographer, Joe Karably of 1186 Pictures, and formed a creative
partnership. “We are a media house without the house,” Beckmann says. “We’ve
built a network of extremely talented freelancers and build a custom team for
each individual project. By breaking down the walls of traditional production, we
are able to create a product that is efficient, cost effective and – what we feel is
most important – of outstanding quality.”

Beckmann’s story was recently featured in a viral article on popular news and
entertainment website, elitedaily.com, “How I Defied Statistics And Became A
Female Entrepreneur”.

Small Fox Media is a production company/media house based in Jacksonville,
FL. Small Fox specializes in TV, film, animation and social media services.
