About CTS Media

CTS Media operates as a digital marketing and photography service founded by Cason Smith. The company's business model is centered on providing specialized content creation for individuals and organizations. It generates revenue by offering photography sessions and digital marketing services.

The founder, Cason Smith, is a digital marketer and photographer who channels his passion for adventure and visual storytelling into his business. His interests in activities like cycling, motocross, and snowboarding inform his approach to capturing dynamic moments. This personal background is directly linked to the company's specialization in sports photography. CTS Media serves as the official photographer for the Blue Ridge Paintball Club, providing content for club members and their affiliates. Smith's academic background includes a degree in Marketing from the University of Tennessee, which he earned in 2021 before starting his career as a graphic designer.

The business offers a range of photographic services, creating visual content for sports, portraits, businesses, and products. For its clients, such as the North Georgia-based Blue Ridge Paintball Club, CTS Media handles on-site photography during events, with the cost covered by player registration fees. This positions the company as an integrated content partner for sports organizations. Beyond event and sports coverage, the firm provides studio and location-based photography for commercial and personal use.
