Walk On! America
When a Duke Men’s Basketball walk on decided to bike across the United States of America to raise money for charity, Matt Banwart was the missing piece to his social media puzzle. Biking and driving alongside the campaign while shooting, editing, and uploading videos out of motels Matt was able to raise over half a million dollars (USD) for the Intellectually and Developmentally Delayed (IDD) community of America in only 75 days.
Exclusively using organic reach Matt’s posts received hundreds of thousands of views, and were featured on NowThis, ESPN, And Times Square in NYC.
Washed Up Warrior
Dano Byars was a professional skater in the ’90s and former United States Military Green Beret, who reached out about turning his hobby of making cornhole trickshots into a way to raise money for veterans and their families.
Utilizing Tik Tok, Instagram, and Facebook I have been able to build Dano’s page @WashedUpWarrior to a cumulative 20k followers in the 2 months. He has sold the video rights that I’ve edited for him for over $10,000 after only 2 months working with this client.
He’s now the largest influencer in cornhole and has picked up multiple sponsorships from companies working in the tailgating space. Most notably Dano was offered a paid position as a Profesional Trickshoter/influencer by the ACL (American Cornhole League).
You can’t search the game “cornhole” on Youtube without crossing paths with one of his videos.
Vanderpool Construction
A family-owned construction company in Indianola, Iowa, reached out about wanting to get in front of excavation clients and attract higher quality employees that better aligned with their company values. The proposed solution? Build their brand as a family-friendly and funny social media page that excavation workers and potential clients would want to follow and work alongside.
Attached is one of the many paid ad campaigns that I ran was the “Heavily Active Campaign”.
Nate Catanus
Nate is a parody “Motivational speecher” and life-coach. This comedy account has been utilized to expand my clients connections and book multiple live speaking events as Nate.
When I started on this account Nate was under 1k followers. In a year of utilizing all organic “hand-to-hand” combat growth methods on Instagram and Facebook, Nate is now over 7k followers and runs a weekly series that features guests with followings into the 100k’s.
Brown's Medical Imaging
When I met with Brown’s Medical Imaging 2 years ago, the company had given up on social media. Having hired out an agency that ran dreaded text-heavy posts with generic white backgrounds. They were getting no new followers, no new engagement, and no value out of their social media.
I created optimized video campaigns while utilizing Facebook and Instagram ad targeting and re-targeting to distribute the videos. Brown’s new beautiful posts receive high engagement from potential buyers and their weekly “X-Ray Quiz” on Facebook receives hundreds of comments and guesses every week!
The Transparent Comedy Tour
Apart from his professional work, Matt Banwart is an award winning stand up comedian. In 2019 Matt was able to merge his love of video storytelling and stand up comedy in a series that took fans behind the scenes of what it’s like to be a traveling road comic.
Matt executive produced, co-directed, and starred in a web series called the Transparent Comedy Tour, alongside Emmy Award-winning director Jeremiah Scavo of Prog Media.
