Carter Family Productions was born from a simple truth: small businesses deserve marketing that works — without contracts, confusion, or corporate price tags.
For years, we built websites and marketing materials as a side gig for friends. Along the way, we saw how big marketing firms locked clients into expensive, long-term contracts that only large companies could afford. That left startups and hometown businesses with no real options — forced to DIY or go without.
We saw the gap. And we stepped in.
CFP is built to serve small businesses on tight budgets — companies that need help getting their name out, building local visibility, and connecting with sponsorships or advertising opportunities that actually reach their community.
We don't target big firms. We specialize in hometown businesses — the kind that make up the backbone of local economies. And if a client ever outgrows us, we help them find the right next step. That's our promise.
Our experience in entertainment — performing at hundreds of weddings and events — taught us that sometimes even a single moment needs marketing. Whether it's a launch, a sale, or a celebration, we help make it visible, memorable, and smooth.
We don't just do marketing — we build presence. This is the standard we hold ourselves to, and the commitment we bring to every business we serve.
Butch — Web designer, technical problem‑solver, and the architect behind our systems. He handles the coding, infrastructure, and creative direction that bring each project to life.
Su — CFO and accounting lead. She keeps our books clean, our decisions grounded, and serves as our in‑house critic who makes sure everything we deliver meets the standard we set for ourselves.
Andie — A photography enthusiast and student at Ottawa High School. She brings fresh perspective, creativity, and an eye for detail to our visual projects.
Extended Crew — A trusted network of subcontractors specializing in music, photography, videography, graphic arts, and computer systems. We bring them in when a project calls for something unique.
Clarity — No confusion, no hidden steps, no guesswork.
Integrity — We protect your time, your investment, and your reputation.
Craftsmanship — Every project is built with intention and pride.
Presence — We help small businesses stand out in their community.
Small businesses deserve a partner who understands their reality — limited budgets, local competition, and the need to make every dollar count. That's where we come in.
We focus on clarity, affordability, and honest partnership. No long-term contracts. No confusing jargon. No inflated promises. Just real solutions built for real businesses.
We bring technical skill, creative vision, and years of hands-on experience helping hometown companies get noticed. Whether you need a website, local visibility, event promotion, or a full presence-building strategy, we meet you where you are and help you grow from there.
We don't just deliver services — we build presence.
