‘Capture & Compose’ your vision with Nakeshia Shannon & Shan Media Co.
Who Is Shan Media Co.?
Shan Media Co. is a boutique media communications agency based in the heart of Upstate South Carolina, proudly serving Greenville, Anderson, and Clemson. Built on the belief that powerful branding starts with purposeful storytelling, we specialize in elevating brands through strategic messaging, compelling photography, editorial content, and public relations.
Founded by Nakeshia Shannon—a Clemson native, lifelong storyteller, and creative visionary—Shan Media Co. blends years of experience in photography, journalism, and brand development to help clients connect more deeply with their audience.
Whether you're launching a business, rebranding, or trying to gain traction online, Shan Media Co. offers a tailored approach designed to reflect who you are, what you value, and why you matter.
What Does Shan Media Co. Do?
Our services go beyond typical marketing. Shan Media Co. is a full-service media agency offering:
Brand Photography
We capture the soul of your business—your people, process, products, and purpose—in scroll-stopping images that tell a bigger story.
Brand Messaging & Strategy
From your elevator pitch to your website copy, we craft brand messaging that aligns with your values and resonates with your ideal audience.
Public Relations & Editorial
We pitch, place, and promote your story across local publications, blogs, and interviews so you can build credibility and trust.
Social & Digital Content Strategy
Need consistent content across Instagram, LinkedIn, or email? We develop and deliver full content plans, including reels, captions, and scheduling support.
Media Kits & Press Materials
We design professional media kits and press releases tailored to help creatives, small businesses, and entrepreneurs land features, collabs, and speaking gigs.
Why Is Storytelling So Central to Shan Media Co.?
In a world flooded with content, people don’t remember logos—they remember stories.
At Shan Media Co., we lead with storytelling because we believe that authentic, people-first narratives create the deepest connection. Every brand has a heartbeat, a reason it exists. Our job is to help uncover that reason and shape it into a story that drives connection, credibility, and conversion.
This story-first philosophy is what sets us apart from other media or marketing firms in Greenville, Anderson, and Clemson.
Who Do We Serve?
We serve the dreamers and doers of the Upstate—purpose-driven brands, local entrepreneurs, family-owned businesses, creatives, coaches, and community leaders. Our clients are people who value connection, legacy, and meaningful work.
Whether you’re just starting or scaling, we design our services to meet you where you are and help you grow into the brand you're becoming.
Why Choose Shan Media Co. Over Other Marketing Agencies in the Upstate?
Here’s what makes us different:
Local Roots, Global Vision
Born and raised in Clemson, and actively working in the Greenville and Anderson creative communities, we bring deep local insight with a strategy-minded, big-picture approach.
Hands-On + High-Touch
You're not a number here. You get a collaborative creative partner who learns your brand and shows up fully for every step.
Custom Content, Not Cookie-Cutter
No templates. No generic messaging. We design with intention—always with your story in mind.
Purpose-Driven Approach
Our work is rooted in purpose, not just aesthetics. We help you make an impact, not just look good online.
How Do You Work with Shan Media Co.?
Working with us is simple. We start with a 30-minute discovery call to learn about your goals and determine which services will be the best fit.
From there, we’ll create a custom project plan. Depending on the scope, projects may include:
A strategy and messaging session
Brand photoshoot planning
Interview or content gathering
Press release or media kit development
A 30- or 90-day content plan with ready-to-post assets
Need something ongoing? We also offer retainer-based support for businesses looking to outsource content creation and brand strategy long-term.
Where Has Shan Media Co. Been Featured?
Our work has been featured in TALK Greenville Magazine, Upstate Parent Magazine (Nakeshia Shannon), and a variety of community-focused publications. We’ve also collaborated with photographers, real estate agents, medical offices, and nonprofits across the region.
From event photography in downtown Greenville to editorial stories highlighting change-makers in the Upstate and business spotlights as well, our reach is wide—but our focus remains rooted in community.
Why Shan Media Co. Is the Right Fit for Your Brand
At Shan Media Co., we’re not here to simply fill up your feed or design trendy logos—we’re here to help you build something meaningful.
We believe the best brands don’t shout. They speak clearly, consistently, and from the heart. That’s what we help you do—through strategy, photography, writing, and support that puts people first.
Let’s build something unforgettable.
