In recent years, the human race seems to have become more divided. This lack of harmony can be attributed to many things, including having varying social, political, or religious beliefs. However, despite these differences, one thing continues to bring people together – stories. Regardless of where a person is from and their philosophies, everyone has an experience worth sharing and listening to. Cognizant of this, Owen Garitty has created a brand that provides businesses and individuals a platform where they can freely share their stories.
The entrepreneur has always been interested in visual storytelling from a young age. This fascination naturally drew him to activities and hobbies that allowed him to capture moments, starting with photography. He got his first camera at age ten and received his first photography award when he was thirteen years old.
Because of his unrivaled aptitude and love for the craft, the creative young man eventually started working professionally as a product photographer when he was only fifteen. His initial clients were all locals from Portland, Oregon, but due to his outstanding work on product catalogs, design, and brand identity, Owen Garitty soon captured the attention of national and international clients.
What started as a simple hobby has remarkably turned into his lifelong passion and vocation. As his profession progressed, the incredible individual has ventured into film direction, brand design, and strategic marketing implementation.
He went on to create the “unagency” FPW Media in 2013. It is a creative studio that designs and implements meaningful media content and effective marketing strategies. In addition, it is a highly flexible enterprise that caters to a wide range of clientele, from big machinery powerhouses to apparel, agriculture, and large-scale manufacturers.
Aside from growing his brand, the industry authority often lends his expertise in creative strategy. Notably, he generously shares his wisdom as a keynote speaker on marketing, brand representation, and emerging concepts in consumer goods.
With a career that spans over two decades, Owen Garitty has helped countless businesses and individuals scale their success. Moreover, he has pushed the boundaries of entrepreneurship by bridging the gap between industry and creativity.
When asked what helped him achieve impressive accomplishments at such a young age, the inspiring entrepreneur considers his impeccable work ethic a significant factor. Specifically, he has a relentless drive that allows him to fulfill any task he sets his mind to.
Aside from that, his unyielding passion for stories sets the visionary apart from the rest. As he profoundly shared, “Storytelling. It’s what I’m all about. It’s what life is all about. Everyone has a story they want to tell. Every business, every product, and every personal and professional goal involves the framing of intangible potential realities within words and visual stimuli. This is a space for exploring the elements of stories and how we tell them.”
Moving forward, Owen Garitty intends to continue his vocation of connecting people through the power of stories. Furthermore, he plans to use his expertise and provide more individuals with a stage where they can share their products and ideas with the rest of the world. But above all, he hopes to serve as an inspiration, especially to the youth, by showing them the value of pursuing one’s passion.
