Small Business, Big Ambition: A Nationwide Campaign with U.S. Bank

Video for Business

At Studio Nine 13, we believe that every business has a story worth telling. So when U.S. Bank approached us to help bring their Small Business, Big Ambition campaign to life, we jumped at the opportunity. This project wasn’t just about video production — it was about capturing the resilience, passion, and impact of small business owners across the country.

A Nationwide Storytelling Mission

For this campaign, U.S. Bank wanted to spotlight 15 small business owners from diverse industries, sharing their unique journeys and the role entrepreneurship plays in shaping communities. Our job? To visually bring these stories to life in a way that would resonate across billboards, national news outlets, iHeartRadio ads, and digital platforms.

To make this happen, our team traveled to five cities — including Los Angeles and Charlotte — immersing ourselves in the worlds of these incredible entrepreneurs. We set up our cameras inside restaurants, retail spaces, and workshops, capturing the day-to-day hustle of business owners who pour their hearts into their work.

The result? A series of dynamic, engaging videos that didn’t just showcase these businesses — they made audiences feel the ambition and dedication behind them.

Coast-to-Coast Recognition

The impact of this campaign was undeniable. Footage from Small Business, Big Ambition appeared in high-visibility locations and major media outlets:

Billboards in major cities
✅ Features on national news broadcasts
✅ iHeartRadio ads reaching millions
✅ U.S. Bank’s digital platforms and social media channels

One of the most exciting moments for us? Seeing our work featured on LA Unscripted, a popular program on KTLA in Los Angeles. (Check out the segment here!) It’s one thing to create powerful content — it’s another to see it make waves on a national scale.
