AutoGrowl Acquires Freelance Media, LLC in Strategic Partnership to Expand Video Production Capabilities
We’re excited to announce something big: AutoGrowl has officially acquired Freelance Media, LLC, the video production company built and led by Lance Meaux, a true force in video storytelling.
This isn’t just a business deal, it’s a move that instantly scales our video production capabilities and creative output in a way that aligns perfectly with our mission: delivering Tier 1-quality content to Tier 3 auto dealers.
Lance has spent over a decade growing Freelance Media into a powerhouse of visual storytelling. His work speaks for itself — cinematic commercials, broadcast-ready production quality, and a deep understanding of what moves people. When we talk about bringing emotion, clarity, and impact to marketing, Lance has been doing exactly that for years.
As Nick put it best:
“This isn’t just a partnership, this is an acquisition of talent, legacy, and a creative force that aligns perfectly with our vision. Lance is a true craftsman. Bringing Freelance Media under the AutoGrowl umbrella allows us to expand production bandwidth and creative firepower while continuing to deliver Tier 1 quality to Tier 3 clients.”

By bringing Lance and his book of business into the AutoGrowl ecosystem, we’re not just expanding, we’re evolving. This acquisition gives us:
More production capacity
Faster speed to market
A broader creative range
And more opportunities to scale with new client relationships
Lance is equally excited about what this means for his current clients, and so are we.
“I’ve always been passionate about creating video that makes an impact,” Lance told us. “Joining AutoGrowl gives me and my clients access to a larger platform, new resources, and the opportunity to push boundaries creatively while still delivering exceptional, personalized service.”

His clients will now gain access to AutoGrowl’s full suite of marketing services — from strategic ad campaigns and consulting to hands-on dealership coaching — all while continuing to receive the same world-class video content they’ve come to expect from him.
This is more than an acquisition. It’s a creative alignment, and a bold move toward helping more dealers grow faster, smarter, and with way more horsepower behind their brand.
Welcome to the pack, Lance.
