A satirical local newsroom that did a third of a million views on stories about Tampa businesses last month. Now you can hire us.
A story about a man who had lived in the Busch Gardens parking lot for eight months. Two thousand five hundred hours of screen time — a hundred and four days of continuous viewing on a single video about their business.
Pitch my businessA story set at a McDonald’s on Dale Mabry. One in six people who watched it sent it to somebody — not liked it, sent it. Five thousand forwards on thirty thousand views.
Pitch my businessA story about the cannons at Raymond James being silenced by a single complaint. Taken down once and reposted, and it still delivered twenty-five thousand local views. Forty-two per cent watched an eighty-three second video to the end.
Pitch my businessIt is also an advertisement that knows it is one. Dale spends the whole video complaining about what we did to him, and every complaint he makes is proof it worked.
Pitch my businessThree thousand hours of screen time. If one person watched it back to back it would take them four months.
Eleven thousand people did not just watch — they forwarded it to somebody specific. That is the part money cannot usually buy.
You tell us about your business, your brand or your event. We come back with a story idea. Nothing gets made until you have read it and laughed.
We build it — anchor, chyrons, graphics, the whole newscast. Two to three days.
It goes out on our TikTok channel, and you get the file to post anywhere you like. It is yours.
Tell us what you do and we will come back with an idea, free.
Five thousand views guaranteed within thirty days of publication. Where organic reach falls short we top it up with paid promotion at our own expense, measured on the published video. Script approval is required before production begins. Tampa Bay’s 11 News is a satirical newsroom — everything we make is fiction and is labelled as such.
