EP7

This week I’m excited to share a new project I’m working on that combines my passion for storytelling and visual media with a cause that truly matters within our community.

We are helping the Peoria Fire Department recruit new firefighters, specifically within the African American community.

The Peoria Fire Department was looking for a media agency that could build a powerful new recruitment campaign aimed at increasing diversity within its ranks. To make this campaign impactful, the department is producing a series of commercials and social media ads (Organic and Paid) that highlight the stories of African American firefighters already serving in Peoria.

This campaign isn’t just about hiring, it’s about representation and visibility. By showcasing real experiences, the goal is to inspire individuals who may have never considered a career in firefighting. These stories will emphasize the dedication, teamwork, and community impact that come with the job, making it clear that the fire department is a place of opportunity and belonging.

Through cinematic visuals (B-Roll) and creative storytelling, the recruitment content will connect with the community on a personal level. The message is simple... the Peoria Fire Department is looking for driven individuals who want to serve, protect, and make a difference. By highlighting the voices of those already in uniform, this campaign will show that firefighting isn’t just a job, it’s a meaningful career with a lasting impact.

I will speak more on this project as it unfolds, but for now... here is a few shots we have already captured.
