Freedom Flooring is a family-owned flooring company in New Holland, PA, run by brothers Gary and Darwin Hurst. The kind of business that has built its reputation one install at a time over years, where the work speaks for itself in person and almost no one outside their customer base knew the story.
We came alongside them to fix that. The work has covered brand story development, a brand story film capturing the heart of the business and the people behind it, a complete photography library showing their crews and their work in real homes, and the content foundation that lets their sales process start with the brand already doing some of the heavy lifting.
New Holland sits at the intersection of three Lancaster County realities: a strong Plain community presence, a trades-heavy local economy, and a long history of family-owned manufacturing. Marketing in this market needs to respect all three, and most agencies who haven't worked here don't know how to read the room.
Significant Mennonite and Amish-owned businesses in and around New Holland operate by their own rules around media, marketing, and visibility. We respect those values. Every project starts with a conversation about what fits the business and its community, not a generic template.
New Holland and the surrounding boroughs run on family-owned trades and small manufacturers. Flooring, construction, agriculture, equipment, structures. The marketing that works here speaks to a relationship-driven buying culture, not a transactional one.
The land around New Holland still matters. The businesses here understand seasons, generational thinking, and the difference between fast results and durable ones. The work we do reflects that, and it shows up in everything from pacing to visual language.
Real clients, real work, real outcomes. Every business on this list is based in Lancaster County or in immediate surrounding areas. The relationships are ongoing, not project-by-project.

Photography projects are faster, often two to three weeks. Ongoing content partnerships start with a discovery and onboarding phase before regular production begins.
