Four in-person visits. One evolving story. Built with you.

Between now and December 31, HastingsNow will work alongside a limited group of local businesses and organizations to discover what kind of local storytelling creates the most value for you.

This is not four identical photo shoots. It is not a traditional advertising package. And you do not need to know exactly what you want before we begin.

We show up. We learn your business. We create something useful together. Then we build on what we learn during the next visit.

Four in-person HastingsNow visits through December 31, 2026.

What could we create together?

Every organization is different, so every partnership will look a little different.

Depending on your goals, a visit might lead to:

• Professional photography

• Short-form video or Reels

• An interview or Soundbite

• A HastingsNow story or business update

• Social media storytelling

• A live video or livestream

• A live-shopping experiment

• Product, service or holiday promotion

• Storytelling ideas and strategy for what to try next

You don't have to choose all of these.

Before each visit, we'll talk about what matters most to your business right now and choose the storytelling approach that makes the most sense.

How the four visits work

Visit 1 — Learn + Create
We get to know what you want people in Hastings to understand about your business and create our first piece of storytelling together.

Visit 2 — Build
We look at what happened after the first visit, hear your feedback and try the next idea. That could mean more photography—or something completely different.

Visit 3 — Experiment
By now, we've learned more about your business and your audience. We can deepen what is working or test something new, such as video, an interview, a livestream or live shopping.

Visit 4 — Tell the next chapter
We create another meaningful piece of your story and look back at what we've learned together.

And the story keeps growing.

Your visits aren't meant to disappear into the social media feed.

HastingsNow will begin connecting the stories we create into your living local profile—a growing record of your business, the people behind it and the moments we've documented together.

Photography can become part of a future story.
A video can lead to an interview.
An interview can become part of a live show.
A holiday promotion can become part of the record of your year.

Each visit gives us something to build on.

At the end of the pilot

After the holidays, we'll sit down together and look at the experience:

What worked? What did people respond to? What was useful to you? What should we do more of—or stop doing?

Then we'll decide together whether another HastingsNow storytelling season makes sense for your business in 2027.

There is no automatic 2027 commitment.
