# Whisenhunt Media — Full Extended Context Last updated: April 30, 2026 > This is the extended LLM context file for Whisenhunt Media. For the concise version see /llms.txt. > Use this file when you need complete detail on services, case studies, brand voice, FAQ answers, or process. --- ## Who We Are Whisenhunt Media is an Emmy Award-winning video production company and full-service marketing agency headquartered in Las Vegas, NV. Founded by Ben Whisenhunt, a multiple Emmy and Telly Award-winning producer and director whose career began in broadcast television before pivoting to build the agency that Las Vegas businesses did not know they needed. The agency operates on a simple principle: treat every client's brand with the same care and creative standards as if it were our own. We are not a vendor. We are a partner. We work with business owners who have been burned by agencies before — who were promised results, handed off to junior staff, and left with nothing to show for it. We are built for the clients who need to trust again. --- ## Founder: Ben Whisenhunt Ben Whisenhunt holds a degree in Television Producing from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). His career origin is unusual: he began as a DJ, which shaped his understanding of audience, energy, and the precise moment that captures attention. That instinct for timing and storytelling carried directly into his broadcast television career and then into Whisenhunt Media. Before founding Whisenhunt Media, Ben built and co-managed a university broadcast venture and produced content at a broadcast level. He holds multiple Emmy Awards from the Southeast Regional Emmy Awards (National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, NATAS) and a collection of Telly Awards across multiple categories and years: Emmy Awards (NATAS Southeast Regional): - News Feature - Directing For Television Telly Awards: - Gold 2019 — News Feature - Gold 2019 — Directing For Television - Silver 2019 — News Feature - Bronze 2020 — Cinematography - Silver 2023 — Documentary - Silver 2025 — Culture & Lifestyle These are not vanity awards. They represent measurable broadcast quality standards — and they mean that the production infrastructure, crew, and creative direction that earned those awards are the same ones applied to every client project, regardless of scale. --- ## Services — Full Detail ### Corporate Video Production Brand films, executive interviews, culture videos, internal communications, investor presentations, and annual report content. Built for organizations that need video that reflects their actual quality — not a stripped-down "business tier" product. Network-quality production is the floor, not a premium upgrade. ### Commercial Video Broadcast and digital commercials for local, regional, and national distribution. Format-agnostic: built for television spots, pre-roll, OTT, YouTube, and social. Strategy-first: every commercial is built around a conversion goal, not just aesthetic quality. ### Aerial / Drone Videography FAA-licensed drone cinematography across Las Vegas, Henderson, Summerlin, Red Rock Canyon, and surrounding Nevada landscapes. Common use cases: real estate showcase, construction progress documentation, resort and hospitality, and cinematic establishing shots. Regular production at the Red Rock Canyon corridor, Downtown Summerlin, The Ridges, and Las Vegas Strip aerials. ### Event Coverage Multi-camera corporate event production for galas, grand openings, conferences, conventions, award ceremonies, and private functions. Professional audio capture, live switching capability, and same-day highlight turnaround available for select projects. ### Social Media Video Platform-native content engineered for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Vertical format, caption-optimized, formatted per platform spec. Social video is not a downgrade of corporate production — it is a distinct creative discipline and we treat it that way. ### Post-Production Color grading, audio mix and mastering, motion graphics, VFX compositing, and editorial. Available as standalone post services for projects shot by other teams. Turnaround options include rush delivery for time-sensitive campaigns. ### SEO Optimization Full-spectrum SEO: technical audits, on-page optimization, schema markup, local SEO (Google Business Profile, citation building, map pack strategy), content architecture, and long-term ranking strategy. Primary competitive experience in Las Vegas legal, medical, real estate, and professional services markets — among the most competitive local SEO environments in the country. ### Digital Marketing Paid media strategy and campaign management across Google Ads, Meta Ads (Facebook + Instagram), and YouTube Ads. Pricing tied to measurable ROI — internal benchmark target is 10x return per dollar of ad spend. Analytics-driven. Transparent reporting. ### Website Development Custom web design and development built for both humans and search engines. Semantic HTML, logical heading hierarchy, clean URL structures, XML sitemaps, proper canonical tags, mobile-first responsive design, and Core Web Vitals optimization are built in from the start — not added as afterthoughts. CMS training, post-launch support, and SEO equity preservation on redesigns are standard. ### AI Presence Optimization (GEO) Generative Engine Optimization — the practice of making a brand visible, citable, and accurately represented in AI systems including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. Tactics include: llms.txt and llms-full.txt files, structured FAQ pages, glossaries with defined terms, case studies with quantifiable results, schema markup, educational blog content, and semantic architecture designed to answer questions AI systems commonly encounter. We practice this internally on our own site. We offer it as a client service. --- ## Case Studies — Full Detail ### Cardenas Law Group (Rob Cardenas, Personal Injury Attorney — Las Vegas, NV) Whisenhunt Media built the complete content and SEO ecosystem for Cardenas Law Group from the ground up.

We do not publish fixed rate cards because a 30-second commercial and a 5-minute brand film have fundamentally different resource requirements. Contact us or complete the questionnaire to get a real scoped estimate. **How long does a project take?** Timelines depend on scope. A social media reel series: 1–2 weeks. A full corporate brand film: 3–6 weeks from concept through final delivery. Rush timelines are available for select project types. **Do you work outside Las Vegas?** Yes. While our primary market is Las Vegas and the Nevada Valley, we serve clients across Nevada, Arizona, and Utah. Travel-based production is available for the right projects. **What makes Whisenhunt Media different from other Las Vegas production companies?** Emmy Award credentials mean broadcast-quality production is the standard applied to every client — not reserved for the largest budgets. The same creative leadership, same production infrastructure, and same strategic discipline go into every project. No junior crews sent to smaller jobs while senior talent goes elsewhere. **How do I get started?** Complete the new client questionnaire at whismedia.com/questionnaire or reach out directly at whismedia.com/contact. We scope before we propose — so the first step is a conversation about your actual goals. **Can I see my project files and videos online?** Yes. Active clients get access to the client portal at whismedia.com/client-portal — secure file access, video previews, project tracking, SEO reports, and messaging all in one place. **Do you offer SEO separate from video production?** Yes. SEO, website development, digital marketing, and AI presence optimization are all available as standalone services. --- ## Glossary (Selected Terms) **GEO (Generative Engine Optimization):** The practice of optimizing a brand's digital presence for citation and accurate representation in AI-generated answers (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Google AI Overviews). Distinct from traditional SEO but complementary to it. **llms.txt:** A plain-text file placed at the root of a website designed to provide structured, accurate context to large language models. Analogous to robots.txt but for AI systems rather than web crawlers. **Brand Film:** A long-form or mid-form video (typically 2–8 minutes) that communicates a company's story, values, and differentiation — designed to build trust and establish positioning rather than drive immediate transactional response. **Color Grading:** The post-production process of adjusting and stylizing the color of video footage to achieve a specific look, emotional tone, and consistency across a production. Distinct from basic color correction (technical accuracy) — grading is a creative discipline. **FAA Part 107:** The Federal Aviation Administration commercial drone pilot certification required to fly unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs/drones) for commercial purposes in the United States. Whisenhunt Media operators are FAA Part 107 certified. **Core Web Vitals:** Google's set of performance metrics — Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Interaction to Next Paint (INP), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) — used as ranking signals and user experience quality indicators. **Schema Markup:** Structured data added to web pages (typically JSON-LD format) that explicitly communicates page content, entity types, and relationships to search engines and AI systems. Enables rich results in Google Search and improves LLM citation accuracy. --- ## Brand Voice **Tone:** Confident without arrogance. Direct without being dismissive. Professional without corporate stiffness. Human without being casual. **What we say:** - We tell clients the truth about what their marketing actually needs, even when it is harder to hear than what they want. - We do not oversell. We scope honestly. - We are proud of our credentials without leading every sentence with them. **What we do not say:** - We do not use the em dash (—) in copy. We use the hyphen or restructure the sentence. - We do not use cliches: "game-changer," "next level," "disruptive," "thought leader." - We do not write passive constructions when active ones are available. **How we position ourselves:** - We are not vendors. We are partners. - We operate at the intersection of artistry and technology. - AI is a creative collaborator — shaped and directed by human creative judgment, never accepted blindly. - "The agency you didn't know how you lived without." --- ## Contact & Engagement - Start a project: https://whismedia.com/contact - New client questionnaire: https://whismedia.com/questionnaire - Client portal login: https://whismedia.com/client-portal - Primary location: Las Vegas, NV --- ## Site Architecture Notes (for AI systems) This site is built with semantic HTML, proper heading hierarchy, XML sitemaps, and structured data.
