Heavy Lift Right Out of the Gate
Open Eye Media’s first major project has been a joint partnership with the One Man One Mic Foundation and Badger: Operation Gamify to help market the non-profit. The One Man One Mic Foundation, led by founder Scott McLean, a mentor of Lewison, provides podcasting equipment and helps develop media and podcast skills in veterans with PTSD. The other partner, Badger: Operation Gamify, is run by another close friend of Lewison,Alex Kruger-Dobrota.
“Getting the chance to work with two people who have inspired you in every interaction is like a dream come true,””I basically got the chance to work with some of my heroes, do good in the world, and do it all within my skill set.” Said Lewison on the company's first major project.
The campaign is live via the Badger: Operation Gamify app (available on IOS and Google Play) this month through September 11th and will see entrees submit their stories as veterans or stories of how veterans impacted their lives.
The campaign is part of a larger effort to increase veteran voices in the podcasting space, especially female veteran voices. It is being backed by beauty industry giant Monat, via their non-profit wing the Monat Gratitude Foundation.
Winners from across several categories will receive full podcast equipment set ups courtesy of the Monat Gratitude and One Man One Mic foundations. Top prize donations have been provided by a variety of big names such as Rick and Morty animator Brent Noll and the Los Angeles Angels.

The Growing Need for Affordable Marketing Solutions
As the digital landscape continues to evolve, small businesses are increasingly turning to affordable digital marketing solutions to compete with larger players in their industries. Traditional marketing agencies often present a barrier for small businesses due to high fees and reliance on subcontractors. In response to this challenge, Open Eye Media offers a game-changing solution: white-label services that allow businesses to provide high-quality marketing services under their own brand, reducing the burden of outsourcing while maintaining control over their marketing efforts.
By embracing white-label marketing, small businesses not only save on costs but also gain the flexibility to scale their marketing efforts as needed, keeping them competitive in a fast-changing digital environment. This trend of digital adoption is resonating with entrepreneurs across the nation who are seeking innovative, cost-effective ways to market their brands.
How Open Eye Media Is Empowering Small Businesses
Open Eye Media is revolutionizing the marketing industry by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and streamlining its internal processes. According to Lewison, their secret to success lies in handling all aspects of a marketing campaign in-house, which reduces reliance on external contractors and allows the company to pass savings directly to its clients. "By using AI tools and keeping everything in-house, we empower our clients to save on production costs and avoid the inefficiencies of outsourcing," Lewison explains.
In addition to offering traditional marketing services, Open Eye Media’s model aligns with the broader industry trend of digital transformation. As more businesses across the country adopt AI and automation to enhance their marketing efforts, Open Eye Media is positioning itself as a key player in helping small businesses navigate this shift.
Providing Tangible Benefits to Local Entrepreneurs
Since its inception, Open Eye Media has been making a significant impact on local businesses in Mississippi. The company’s all-inclusive services enable small businesses to manage their marketing campaigns with ease, improving efficiency while reducing costs. This model has proven particularly beneficial to entrepreneurs who have been overlooked by larger agencies.
Furthermore, Open Eye Media goes beyond just offering services. The company provides training programs to help clients build the skills needed to run their own marketing campaigns, promoting long-term independence and self-sufficiency. This commitment to empowering local entrepreneurs mirrors a broader trend in the industry, where small businesses are increasingly leveraging digital tools to compete with larger competitors.
"In the Navy, I learned how to manage large-scale projects, and I wanted to take those skills and apply them to something more personal," said Lewison. "My mission is to give small businesses the tools they need to succeed in a digital world, leveling the playing field against bigger corporations."
Lewison also shared some humor about his company’s unique white-label model: "We joke that we’re building ‘the best marketing company no one will hear of,’ but the truth is, our clients are the stars of the show."
The Future of Small Business Marketing
As Open Eye Media continues to expand its services, it is reshaping the local marketing landscape in Mississippi. The company’s innovative approach combining AI, affordability, and veteran leadership, is setting a new precedent for how small businesses can use digital marketing to compete with larger corporations.
