Crafting Social Media Content For Ace Hardware: Adventures In Production And Vacation

In the fast-paced world of digital marketing, working with a production company can be an exciting and rewarding experience. Recently, I had the opportunity to collaborate with a production company based in Chicago to create compelling content for Ace Hardware’s social media channels. But before diving into the details, let me share some other highlights from my recent adventures, including photographing the Miss Kentucky Earth Pageant and enjoying a memorable vacation in Mentone, Alabama with my lovely girlfriend, Cindy.

Partnering with the production company allowed me to tap into my creative skills and contribute to Ace Hardware’s social media strategy. Together, we crafted a number of engaging pieces of content that showcased Morgantown, Kentucky’s Ace Hardware as they have been putting out flags on veteran’s graves (in honor of the veteran’s who served this amazing country we call home) for a number of years and ACE wanted to showcase that. Creating captivating videos was our goal and to connect with Ace Hardware’s audience and highlight the brand’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.

In addition to my work with the production company, I had the exciting opportunity to photograph the Miss Kentucky Earth Pageant held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Capturing the beauty, grace, and talent of the contestants was both challenging and rewarding. The event was a testament to the dedication and hard work of all the participants, and I was honored to be part of such a prestigious occasion.

Following the hectic schedule of work and photography, Cindy and I decided to take a well-deserved break and head to Mentone, Alabama for a short vacation. Nestled amidst nature’s beauty, Mentone provided the perfect backdrop for relaxation and adventure. One of my highlight’s of our trip was kayaking in the serene waters a few times, exploring the picturesque surroundings. I also discovered a cool dam on-site, which added an extra element of fun to my kayaking experience.

Our accommodation in Mentone was nothing short of amazing. We found a charming house that offered breathtaking views, a private dock, and even our own private hot tub. It was the perfect place to unwind and soak in the tranquility. Adding to the convenience, we were just a stone’s throw away from a small convenience store and gift shop, where we indulged in a delicious meal during our stay.

During our time in Mentone, we couldn’t resist the opportunity to visit De Soto Falls. The mesmerizing waterfalls left us in awe of nature’s grandeur. As we ventured further, we stumbled upon the steps leading to the falls, adorned with beautiful colored stones. It was a delightful surprise to learn that the Little River Arts Council had decorated the steps, creating a unique and artistic experience for visitors.

As August drew to a close, my experience working with a production company for Ace Hardware’s social media content was a fulfilling professional endeavor. Additionally, my vacation in Mentone, Alabama provided a much-needed escape, filled with memorable moments and the beauty of nature. From crafting compelling content to capturing the essence of Miss Kentucky Earth Pageant and exploring the scenic wonders of Mentone, this adventure-filled month was truly a remarkable way to bid farewell to summer.
