Cranford

A particular strength in video production and creative communications runs through Cranford Co.'s work out of 512 Main Street in Little Rock, Arkansas, where the client roster reaches coast to coast rather than staying regional. The firm covers advertising, marketing, digital media, and social communications under one roof.

Work moves through creative concepting and production, media planning and buying, video scripts and storyboards, live-action production, and editing and post-production, with brand campaigns tying the pieces together. The partner group reflects that range: Jay Cranford serves as Chief Creative Officer, Ross Cranford works as copywriter, and Chris Cranford handles cinematography and photography. Amy Frazier Turpen directs media, Brandi Childress plans and buys as Senior Media Planner Buyer, John Jacobs works as Senior Art Director/Animator, and Tyler Cobb edits video and builds motion graphics.

Project examples include video production and graphic design for a youth prevention smoking and vaping campaign, a microsite built for PK Grills around a new product launch, video production for Mira Winery, and a combined video production, graphic design, and social media effort for Heifer International. Together these projects span consumer packaged goods, wine, nonprofit advocacy, and public health messaging, with video and post-production as the connective thread across the work.
