Case Study
Hillsboro Aero Academy
We manage social media content creation and strategy for Hillsboro Aero Academy's helicopter and fixed-wing aviation accounts. From in-air footage to maintenance crew interviews, we capture the real energy of their pilot training and maintenance programs. Through consistent, authentic storytelling, we're helping them attract the next generation of aviators.
The Problem
Hillsboro Aero Academy had an incredible flight training environment, but that energy wasn't translating to social media. Their student stories, elite maintenance programs, and vibrant community were staying invisible—missing the people who needed to see them most.
- Their authentic daily culture had no digital platform to reach aspiring pilots.
- In-air footage and maintenance content require specialized technical skills their team didn't have time to manage.
- Without a consistent strategy, both accounts were missing the engagement needed to attract new students.
The Solution
We took over content creation and strategy for both accounts so their leadership could focus on training. By capturing everything from cockpit footage to ground-level storytelling, we've built a social presence that shows people what it actually feels like to train at Hillsboro Aero.
- We shoot everything from in-flight footage to maintenance highlights to show the full scope of their operation.
- Staff and student pilot interviews bring real people and real stories to the forefront.
- We mix polished video with raw, relatable UGC that makes the academy feel approachable and authentic.
