JACKSONVILLE, FL — Fable Heart Media, a Jacksonville-based award-winning digital advertising agency, has announced the launch of Jumpstart Jax, a giveaway designed to invest directly in the growth of one deserving local business. One winner will receive a full-service advertising package valued at $10,000, free of charge and with no strings attached.
About the Prize
The grand prize includes $3,000 in direct advertising spend, funded entirely by Fable Heart Media, paired with up to $7,000 in professional strategic services. The winning business will receive end-to-end campaign management: ad strategy development, creative design, copywriting, ad placement, and ongoing management, all at no cost to the recipient. Ads will run for a minimum of 30 days (up to 90 days), and the winner will receive bi-weekly performance reports throughout the campaign. No ad goes live without the winner's approval.
Nick Leonard, Founder and Creative Director of Fable Heart Media, knows firsthand what it means to build something from the ground up in Jacksonville.
"I was born and raised here. I started this business in my hometown because I believed in this city and the people in it," said Leonard. "Jacksonville has been so good to me - to all of us at Fable Heart Media. It has supported us, pushed us to grow, and given us opportunities we will never take for granted. Jumpstart Jax is our way of saying thank you. If we can take even a little bit of what this city has given us and pour it back into another local business, that means everything to me. This isn't a marketing stunt, it's personal."
Now in its third consecutive year, Jumpstart Jax has become a cornerstone of Fable Heart Media's commitment to the Jacksonville business community - a tradition Leonard says he has no intention of stopping.
Why Jumpstart Jax?
Fable Heart Media was founded in Jacksonville. The agency credits the local business community as a key part of its own growth and success, and Jumpstart Jax is their way of returning that investment. The initiative reflects the agency's belief that a rising tide lifts all boats, and that one well-executed advertising campaign can be a genuine turning point for a small business.
