We make the videos that make your phone ring.
Storyline Media shoots the video, cuts the ads, and buys the media that fills your schedule. One crew, one building in Billings, and one metric that matters: booked jobs.
The situation
Feast or famine isn't bad luck. It's a missing channel.
Most trades run on referrals and weather. That works - until the month it doesn't, and by then the schedule is already empty. The businesses that stay full aren't luckier. They're on a channel that doesn't dry up.
The feast
A storm hits, a referral lands, the schedule fills for six weeks. You hire, you stock up, you breathe.
The famine
Then it stops. The phone goes quiet and nothing you did changed. You wait on the next referral like weather.
The leak
Meanwhile the jobs you would have won go to whoever showed up in the feed that week. Not better. Just there.
Run your own numbers
If a quiet month costs even one good job, the fix pays for itself. Bring your numbers - Drew will run them with you on the call.
How it works
One crew. Four jobs. No handoffs.
The same people who write your ads are the people who show up with the camera and the people who buy the media. Nothing gets lost between a strategist, a freelancer, and a dashboard.
We dig in
What you sell, what a job is worth, why your customers pick you. That becomes the script - not a template.
We shoot
A real filming day. Cinema camera, your job sites, your crew doing the actual work. No stock footage, no actors.
We cut
One day becomes a bank of ads - hooks, cuts, captions - built for the feed your customers actually scroll.
We buy
We put those ads in front of buyers in your area, and tune every week to one number: cost per booked job.
What's included
Everything in the month, in plain terms.
The work
A filming day at your job sites with our crew and our cameras. You do the work; we make it look like what it's worth.
The ads
The footage becomes a bank of short video ads, written and cut to stop the scroll in your market - not to win awards.
The spend
We run the ads where your customers already scroll and tune the spend to what books jobs, not to what collects likes.
The report
You see what was spent and what it produced, in plain language. If the number is bad, you see that too.
The access
You talk to the people doing the work. No account manager reading from a script between you and the crew.
The rule
One client per trade, per area. If we run your ads, we are not running your competitor's.

The timeline
From first call to booked jobs in thirty days.
Day 0
The call
Twenty minutes. Drew asks what you sell, what a job is worth, and how much more you could handle. You get an honest read - including if the answer is no.
Days 1–7
The dig-in
Numbers, offer, script. We learn the business well enough to sell it before a camera ever comes out.
Days 7–14
The filming day
The crew shows up. One day, your job sites, your people, your work.
Days 14–21
Ads go live
The first cuts are in the feed, in front of buyers in your area.
Days 21–30
The numbers
Your cost per booked job stops being a guess. You see spend against what it produced.
Month 2+
Scale what books
More of what works, cut what doesn't. Every dollar accounted for, every month.
The fit check
Built for some. Not for most.
Twenty minutes is cheap, but it isn't free. Check yourself against both columns before you book - the wrong fit gets told so on the call anyway.
Built for
- Trades and local service businesses - roofing, concrete, HVAC, excavation, glass
- Montana, Wyoming, and the Dakotas
- An owner who answers their own phone
- Room on the schedule for more work
- A job value that makes the math on ads work
Not for
- Anyone booked out two months or more - fix capacity first
- Anyone hoping to go viral
- Anyone who wants a committee instead of a crew
- Anyone outside our region - the camera has to get to you

Our rule for numbers
A number with no name behind it reads as invented - whether it is or not. So results get printed on this page one way: with a client, a month of spend, and a figure they'll stand behind. As those clear approval, they appear here. Until then, the names above and the crew on this page are the proof.
What you'll never see printed here
- A quote with nobody's name on it
- A first name and an initial standing in for a real business
- A result with no number in it
- A number nobody can trace to a real month of spend

What happens on the call
- 1You pick a time below - confirmation text lands straight away.
- 2Drew calls you at that time. It runs about twenty minutes.
- 3He asks what you sell, what a job is worth, and how much more you could handle.
- 4You get his honest read on whether ads make sense right now - including if the answer is no.
- 5If they do, he shows you the first ninety days and what it costs.
PS - Filming days book out a few weeks, because there is one crew and it is ours. If you want work coming in before the end of the season, this call starts the clock.
Two quick questions, then the calendar.
Tell us your revenue range and where to reach you, then pick a time straight off Drew's calendar. The whole thing takes about forty seconds - and nothing gets signed on the call.
