Customer Testimonials

“I have been impressed with Cowboy Media’s expertise as well as their client communications.  They made us feel like collaborators and that our input had value to the overall creative process.  The team was so personable, attentive, responsive and professional during the entire process, it was clear the team cared about the project and that spoke volumes to me.

I can’t say enough about how comforting it is to know we were working with a group that is so nimble, easy to work with and prepared for any idea we threw at them.  The best part about their flexibility is that it didn’t decrease the quality of content we receive.

I feel they have such and exceptional level of service that I feel comfortable giving them any kind of assignment and know that they can be trusted to do an excellent job.”

“Shaun produced several videos for us that were integral assets in our campaign to launch a new dairy brand. Most of the footage was shot on-site at several dairy farms; Shaun did a great job communicating his vision, course-correcting when necessary, and showing the right mix of patience and energy with everyone on-set (including the cows). We were very happy with the end results; the videos were extremely professional and on-target in communicating the brand message.”

“I think of Cowboy Media as the National Geographic of agri-business video and photography. If you want run-of-the-mill shots anyone can shoot on an iPhone, this is not where you should invest. But if you want your message to come alive through the compelling faces of people and the places they work to feed the world, give Shaun a call. 

To cite just one example, for an agri-business conference in Singapore, we decided to take a visual storytelling approach instead of putting a bunch of charts and data on a PowerPoint presentation. Shaun was our go-to person to capture the day-to-day lives of U.S. dairy farmers, each representing a theme, such as sustainability, animal care, etc. His imagery ran in the background as four U.S. farmers talked about themselves and their values to a hungry group of Asian business people just before lunch.

That presentation was scored the highest of any by participants at the two-day conference. One owner of an import company said Shaun's images brought tears to her eyes. ‘In Southeast Asia, passing values and businesses from one generation to another is important part of our culture. I had no idea this is what also happens in the United States.’ Another comment from another participant: ‘Your cows look so happy!’ Cowboy Media's visual storytelling connects the head with the heart.”

“We first met Shaun when he came to our dairy farm to do a photo shoot.  The very first moment he stepped onto the farm we knew he was a farm boy at heart and was very comfortable being around the "Girls".  Shaun immediately helped us feel at ease with the camera as he quickly became like one of the family.  His talent as a photographer is outstanding.  He has the amazing ability to capture the raw beauty of life on the farm that can easily transcend any viewer into feeling as if they are actually there.  He was able to bring our livelihood of farming to life through his photography in a very intimate and special way.  We will always consider Shaun a good friend as well as a good friend to the dairy industry.  I highly recommend Shaun and Cowboy Media and can guarantee he will not disappoint.”

“Cowboy Media knows the farming community well. They can arrive on a farm and know exactly where to shoot and when to do it. They will never put your clients in a bad spot and will always strive to make your organization look impressive and authentic. Going on photoshoots and capturing video interviews with Cowboy Media is a joy and working with them simply makes my job easier while on-site. The thing I like most about Cowboy Media is collaborating together. I’ve been on photoshoots with them where we had to find and develop stories on the spot. I’m proud of the results they helped us produce.”

“Shaun showed up at our farm for a photo shoot with a van load of equipment and a great support staff. We connected immediately and almost a decade later our families are still good friends. They have been back a number of times since then when our farm was featured in magazine articles.  Our farm is an older working family dairy farm, but Shaun still found a way to help us tell our story through photos and videos. His dedication to getting a good shot knows no limits. On our farm he has been hoisted up high in a loader bucket, balanced himself on the front weights of a tractor while it was being driven down the road, laid in a snowbank, and prostrated himself out flat in a heifer pen, all while trying to get the perfect angle. 

His photos have been a valuable asset to us in helping us promote our farm and the products we produce to a world that increasingly wants to know where their food comes from. We highly recommend Cowboy Media to anyone considering a photo shoot related to agriculture.”

— Orville M. | Dairy Farmer

“Cowboy Media is an integral piece of telling the stories of today’s American dairy farmers. Their professionalism, knowledge of the industry and ability to work directly with farmers is so important to the success of the content we are shooting/creating. I know that Shaun + team will always capture great content, while always being flexible and adaptive to the circumstances. Within a short amount of time of meeting Shaun, our dairy producers trust him to capture their farms in the best light, which is a telling sign of his experience in the industry. In the end, my team is always proud to showcase Shaun’s work highlighting our family farm-owners.”
