Owen Garitty picked up his first camera—a Pentax film camera—when he was ten-years-old. He’s since been developing a vision for marketing and film within our complex digital world that rises artistically above the noise.

FPW Media creates meaningful and effective media content, advertising, and marketing strategies with an artistic edge that helps clients stand out. Through his work with Hyperlite Wakeboarding, Hallspot, and others, Garitty proves he created FPW Media to stay ahead in a fast-paced world.
