Rhode Island Business Spotlight
Celebrating the people, passion, and stories behind Rhode Island’s local businesses.
Every business has a story worth telling. Through the Rhode Island Business Spotlight, I select one independently owned Rhode Island business each quarter to receive a professionally produced short promotional film and be featured across my website, newsletter, YouTube channel, and social media.
This isn’t a contest or giveaway. It’s a community storytelling initiative designed to celebrate local businesses, share authentic stories, and showcase the entrepreneurs who help make Rhode Island such a special place to live and work.
If your business has a story to tell, I’d love to hear from you.
More Than a Promotional Video
The Rhode Island Business Spotlight was created to celebrate the independent businesses that help shape our communities. Behind every storefront, studio, restaurant, nonprofit, and family-owned company is a story of hard work, dedication, and passion.
Each quarter, I select one Rhode Island business to be featured in a professionally produced short promotional film that highlights the people behind the business, what makes it unique, and the impact it has on its customers and community.
The completed film is shared through Indermaur Media’s website, YouTube channel, newsletter, and social media, giving the featured business meaningful exposure while creating an authentic story they can continue to share with their own audience.
Whether you’ve been serving your community for decades or are building something new, I’m looking for businesses with genuine stories that deserve to be told.
What Featured Businesses Receive
Each featured business receives more than just a video. The goal is to create a professional story that can be shared for years to come while introducing your business to new audiences.
If selected, your business will receive:
A planning conversation to learn about your business and story.
Professional on-location video production at your business.
A professionally edited short promotional film.
Licensed music and polished audio.
Your featured film published on the Indermaur Media website and YouTube channel.
Promotion through the Indermaur Media newsletter and social media channels.
A digital copy of the finished film for use on your own website and marketing platforms.
Every featured story is created with the same care, creativity, and attention to detail that I bring to my client projects
How Businesses Are Chosen
The Rhode Island Business Spotlight is a curated storytelling initiative, not a contest or random drawing. Every application is personally reviewed to identify businesses with authentic stories that will resonate with others and reflect the creativity, dedication, and entrepreneurial spirit found throughout Rhode Island.
When reviewing applications, I look for businesses that demonstrate:
A compelling story or unique journey.
Passion for serving customers or making a positive impact.
A product, service, or mission that stands out.
Opportunities to create engaging visual storytelling.
A genuine connection to Rhode Island and its communities.
Applications remain active for up to one year, so if your business isn’t selected immediately, it may still be considered for a future Spotlight.
Every business has its own story. My goal is to find the ones that will inspire others while celebrating the people who make Rhode Island’s small business community so special.
Story Examples
While the Rhode Island Business Spotlight is just getting started, these projects showcase the authentic storytelling approach that inspired this initiative. Every business has a unique story, and these films demonstrate how I bring those stories to life.
