Working from the premise that the time is now, Koby Batts and Keegan Tingle did not wait until after college to create their vision of the proper media company that services the needs of agents and really any professional business who is interested in building brands or using photography and related applications in imagery to promote their business. The results have been somewhat staggering, and this duo is just beginning.

     Early last year, Koby and Keegan, two students at the University of Louisville, took some experience with drones and photography and began a business that is awesome at marketing support.  At some point, they began to reach out to agents and property managers to offer their services using photos, drones and even videos if warranted, and from that effort, the work expanded to other things like major events.  They worked the Lincoln Day Dinner at the Kentucky State Fair, and other restaurants, event planners and such wanted their work.

      Koby and Keegan used their artistic flair to compile content and pictures to build a brand and offer exposure on social media. They have even done a few commercials (not for TV) for lawyers and others that have promoted the work of their clients.  People love that these business owners can help in any aspect of the promotion of a business, and they are not limited to just one type of content.  They are most pleased with the idea that they have become a “one stop shop” for marketing needs. “We have still retained the feel of a small, hands-on business with the capacity to take on large projects that big companies often do,” says Keegan.

      Others have benefited from MDM – such as the six interns that have learned from them (three from the University of Louisville and three from the University of Kentucky).  The company is very community oriented and can adapt to most any request.  Their turnaround time is very good (at 24-48 hours), and customers appreciate their ability to solve problems and to communicate efficiently and in a timely way.  

      Micro Development Media is different in its ability to work from a unique style base – meaning that they do not approach each job or company from a one size-fits-all type of mentality.  Clients have mentioned that the other team members are great to work with and are very professional.  Koby says that they are quite confident that they can provide better services and that they are in touch with the various market shifts.  They want to do what is best for their own community – to leave it a better place.

      Many satisfied clients are pleased that the two college friends took the opportunity to make something happen as soon as they envisioned the idea – not waiting until “someday” when they were completely satisfied that they had every detail figured out. That is what true entrepreneurs do, and Koby and Keegan are certainly “go getters” who are unafraid to add substance to their dreams.  Their involvement in various groups established some of their quick connections: Keegan was the President of his Fraternity, and Koby was the College Business President of the University of Louisville in 2022.

      MDM is adept at helping people understand what makes them unique and will help them to stand out. They work with clients to help them set themselves apart, and one of their specialties is data analysis.  Their virtual tours and posts to YouTube and Instagram can be tracked with isolated information and analyzed to help sell properties. This is done to better serve agents and meet their needs.

      Keegan is an engineering student who loves to fish and golf, and Koby loves to network and enjoys hunting.  The two hope that someday their legacy will reveal that they loved to see the potential in others and helped them to excel.  They also desire to help people and their businesses to grow and make their community a great place to live and serve.
