Our origin

Built by Jamie and Hannah Holmes with newsroom speed and brand discipline.

Founded by veteran journalist Jamie Holmes and Hannah Holmes, Top Story Studios blends reporting instincts, production craft, and digital strategy for organizations that need their work seen clearly.

Traditional production can mean bloated crews, expensive gear, and weeks-long turnaround times. We keep the process focused: sharp planning, efficient capture, disciplined editing, and distribution that fits the way modern audiences actually pay attention.

Jamie has spent more than 25 years as an anchor and television news reporter, covering major national stories from hurricanes to the Pulse massacre. That background shapes the studio's focus: tell the stories that are not being told by mainstream media, especially corporate and nonprofit stories that build loyalty and audience compassion.
