Founded in 2020. Rooted in Columbia, South Carolina. Built to move creativity, technology, and opportunity forward.
The act of continuous advancement.
For NEX GEN Media, forward isn't simply a direction. It's how we approach ideas, technology, creativity, and opportunity. Every project is a chance to move a client, a community, or a capability into what's next.
NGM Forward is the philosophy underneath the whole company — the throughline that connects a Little League photo shoot to a federal capability statement.
Founder of NEX GEN Media LLC. Former Digital Media Coordinator at Campbell University (ESPN broadcasts, 21 Division I programs). Federal Infrastructure Project Manager at Shaw Air Force Base. USAF Reserve · SC Air National Guard — over a decade of service. NACMA Top 10 Marketing Team, 2×.
NEX GEN Media LLC was founded in August 2020 by Kristina Houseworth — a Columbia, South Carolina creative and infrastructure operator who wanted to build a media company that could do both: tell a story cinematically, and deliver it with the discipline of a mission.
"Nex Gen" stands for Nex Generation — a company built to empower every generation and drive constant innovation. That means the youth athlete who needs their first professional portrait, the local business that needs a brand system, the student who wants to understand how a drone flies, and the agency that needs a certified, credentialed partner.
Six years in, NGM has grown from a one-woman shooting operation into a media, aerial, digital, education, and government-ready shop — with a philosophy holding it all together.
Nex Gen Media LLC is committed to serving our community, state, and national partners by combining creativity, technology, and strategic execution.
Little League to Friday Night Lights — flexible pricing so families can afford professional coverage of the moments that matter.
Long-term creative partnerships with Columbia-area gyms, nonprofits, small businesses, and community programs.
Each year, NGM reserves capacity for select community and nonprofit projects. Apply through the contact page.
We commit — to the shot, the pitch, and the direction. Timid creativity produces timid work.
Every idea passes through a strategic system designed for relevance, focus, and measurable impact.
Drone tech, digital modernization, systems automation — we invest in capability, not just tools.
Deliverables that move audiences, contracts, and communities. Not just files that ship.
No jargon, no overpromising. Clean scoping, honest timelines, and communication throughout.
We measure the work — audience reach, brand outcomes, contract wins. If it doesn't move you forward, we didn't do our job.
