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.

Digital Short for Fruit Shoot shot in Jacksonville by Spark Inc.

Spark Inc., a Jacksonville based agency, produced and wrote the digital short last month for Fruit Shoot, which is distributed by Pepsi. Fruit Shoot is one of the top selling kids juice drinks in the UK. It is also served with McDonald's Happy Meals. However, they don't have much of a presence in North America. Spark Inc. was hired to help them get the word out, especially about their new Orange & Mango flavors. All of the cast, most of the crew, and all of the agency are local to Jacksonville. Spark Inc. shot at a house and school in Mandarin. The client is based in Miami. Spark Inc. was selected for this project because they could deliver Hollywood-style production with just a fraction of the cost for what they were paying agencies in New York, London, and Miami.
