Meet the Founder

Hi, I’m Kailyn Smith, founder of Smith Media & Marketing. Originally from Key West, Florida and now based in Montana, I started this business to help brands show up online in a way that feels authentic, strategic, and impactful.

With a background in photography and a focus in business marketing at Montana State University, I bring together visual storytelling and strategy to help brands build a strong, consistent presence and a real connection with their audience. I specialize in content creation and social media management, and my love for photography plays a big role in the creative direction behind every project. Whether I’m capturing brand moments, events, or portraits, I focus on visuals that feel natural, aligned, and true to each person and business.

My goal is simple: help businesses tell their story clearly, build real connections, and turn their online presence into real results.

My Inspiration

My background and lifestyle are closely tied to the outdoors, which is where I draw a lot of my creative inspiration. Through my work in conservation and my love for spending time in the mountains and hunting, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for nature, community, and the stories rooted in both.

That same passion fuels the work I do with small businesses- helping brands built on heart and hard work show up in a way that feels genuine and true to who they are.
