What Is Running Pony?
Updated
Running Pony is a full-service creative and digital agency based in Memphis, Tennessee. According to its website, it offers video production, animation, live event production, web design, brand development, and digital marketing, and says it has worked for more than 30 years with both large national brands and marketing agencies.
What Running Pony Does
The agency organizes its services into six main areas:
| Service | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Video production | Commercials and PSAs, corporate video, documentaries, training and education, live and streaming, brand stories |
| Animation | Motion graphics, 2D and 3D animation, visual FX, brand animation, infographics |
| Web design + dev | Custom WordPress, responsive design, prototyping, e-commerce, custom integration |
| Brand development | Visual identity, brand refresh, typography systems, brand strategy, brand voice, collateral and print |
| Live events | Hybrid and virtual events, corporate conferences, town halls, executive broadcasts, awards shows |
| Digital marketing | SEO, campaign management, search and PPC, content creation, paid social, analytics and reporting |
The site describes the through-line as storytelling: "We create award-winning videos and digital content that make brands like yours unforgettable." It also states that clients use the agency because "we don't settle for 'meh.'"
Who It's For
Running Pony presents itself as a fit for two broad groups:
- National brands that need creative and digital production at scale
- Marketing agencies that want to bring in outside creative or production capacity
Its featured work includes Churchill Downs (video), Tigers On Fire (animation), and the Historic Snuff District (brand development and digital experiential design), which suggests project work spanning sports/entertainment, real estate or placemaking, and brand identity.
How to Engage
The site lists three contact routes:
- Start a project through the "Start a Project" call to action
- Call 901.683.6693
- Visit the office at 1770 Kirby Pkwy, STE 118, Memphis, TN 38138
The site does not publish pricing, package tiers, or minimum engagement sizes, so budget and scope would need to be discussed directly. It also does not state whether work is limited to the Memphis area or available remotely, though the mix of video, web, and marketing services suggests location is not necessarily a barrier.
Bottom Line
If you need a single agency that can handle video, animation, web, branding, live events, and marketing under one roof, Running Pony is positioned as exactly that. If you only need one narrow service, such as SEO or a single animation, it may still be worth a conversation, but the site's emphasis is on full-service, multi-discipline engagements.
