Storyteller Studios Launches “Storyteller Small Batch” to Bring Emmy-Winning Video Production to Local Small Businesses
Storyteller Studios, the award-winning video production company known for premium, story-driven marketing campaigns nationwide, today announced the launch of Storyteller Small Batch, designed to make high-quality brand storytelling accessible to local small businesses in Springfield and Sangamon County.
Launching January 1, 2026, Storyteller Small Batch delivers the same Emmy Award-winning team, cinematic production values, and strategic storytelling that have defined Storyteller Studios for more than a decade — now explicitly tailored for businesses with 25 or fewer employees.
Founded 13 years ago, Storyteller Studios has grown from a small creative operation into a trusted partner for organizations across the country, earning industry recognition and national awards along the way. But Founder and Executive Producer, Josh Hester, said that growth created an unintended gap.
“We built something premium enough to serve clients nationwide, but in doing so, we realized we’d built something our own neighbors couldn’t access,” said Hester. “The mom-and-pop shops, local restaurants, and entrepreneurs building something meaningful right here in Springfield — businesses that are small, just like us — were often priced out of the kind of storytelling that can truly move the needle.”
Storyteller Small Batch was created to close that gap.
The program offers small businesses the opportunity to invest in a brief, authentic, cinematic brand video — an asset Storyteller Studios believes can be one of the most effective marketing tools a business can deploy.
“We believe you’re building something that matters,” said Josh. “But if nobody knows your idea exists, nobody can support it. We’ve seen it time and again — one well-crafted, story-driven video can change the trajectory of a business. If you’ve ever thought that kind of work was out of reach, Storyteller Small Batch is for you.”
Spots for Storyteller Small Batch are limited. Local businesses can reserve their place beginning now at smallbatch.storytellerstudios.com.
