solving a simple market reality
BizNOLA
is seen as consistent quality, smart strategy, and stories that reflect the city’s spirit, diversity, and entrepreneurial identity
BizNola, LLC is a New Orleans-based video marketing startup founded by Grant Cooper and Tommy Hayne. The company’s purpose is to provide small and medium-sized businesses across Greater New Orleans with high-quality promotional video services that integrate directly into existing websites and expand brand visibility through social media usage.
BizNola’s concept is rooted in a simple market reality. Video has become a default expectation in modern digital marketing. This trend creates a strong demand environment for a local, reliable, relationship-based video partner offering consistent quality, clear deliverables, and tailored story-driven content.
BizNola is designed to become a trusted local engine for high-impact small business video content. It will help New Orleans businesses upgrade their digital presence, increase social engagement, and tell authentic brand stories that align with the culture and purchasing behavior of residents, tourists, and the broader Gulf South consumer base.
