Running Pony Productions

Today marks a special milestone for Running Pony as we celebrate Brian Manis's eighth year with us! As our Creative Director, Brian has been the driving force behind many of our most memorable projects. His innovative vision, dedication, and passion have consistently pushed our work to new heights. We're truly grateful for his unwavering commitment and the incredible talent he brings to the team every day. Brian, here's to many more years of creativity and success together!

Happy National Cat Day! Today we celebrate our purrfect companions who fill our lives with endless love and a sprinkle of sass. Whether they're lounging on your keyboard or chasing imaginary prey, cats have a knack for making every day a little brighter.

Here's to a day filled with extra treats, belly rubs, and maybe... just maybe, a rare head boop.

Today we're celebrating a superstar—our very own Director of Operations, Steve Shipowitz! Steve, your dedication, hard work, and leadership keep the Pony galloping smoothly every day. Whether you're wrangling spreadsheets or leading team meetings like a pro, you always bring your A-game and a smile.

Here's to another year of adventures, laughter, and making amazing things happen! We hope your day is filled with joy, cake, and maybe a little bit of rest. You deserve it!

Cheers to you, Steve!

Wishing a fantastic birthday to the amazing Leslie Epstein!

Today, we honor the driving force behind Running Pony—our exceptional Office Manager. Leslie, your positive energy and steadfast commitment to getting things done brighten every moment in the office. We appreciate everything you bring to the team.

Here's to a new year filled with happiness, laughter, and exciting new memories!

Today, we're celebrating a special member of our herd - the one and only Ian Baker!

The Jewish New Year is upon us! Wishing everyone a sweet and joyful Rosh Hashanah filled with love, endless blessings and peace for all.

Happy Birthday, Nate Reisman!
From all of us at Running Pony, we want to wish you an amazing day filled with joy, laughter, and maybe some cake! We’d sing “Happy Birthday,” but we know how much audio guys hate off-key attempts at harmony. Nate, your energy and passion for what you do make every day a little brighter and a lot more fun. Let's keep nailing those mic checks, clacking the clapboard and celebrating big-time!

Hey Running Pony fans, guess what? It's Corey Kenerly's birthday today!

Corey, you're the heart and soul of our team, and your marketing vision keeps us all on our toes (and sometimes rolling with laughter).

Drop your favorite Melissa moments in the comments below and join us in celebrating this amazing milestone!

Today marks an incredible milestone for one of our own! Happy 6-year anniversary, Simon Davies! He’s the wizard behind the curtain, making sure every frame, cut, and sound is pitch-perfect. As our post-production supervisor, Simon's keen eye for detail and knack for storytelling have turned countless projects from "good" to "jaw-dropping.” And does it all with a smile and a joke (and a little help from his dog, Wi******er). His dedication, talent, and humor make Simon an invaluable part of the Running Pony family!

Thank you to all the hardworking folks out there who keep things running smoothly. Whether you're clocking in from home, the office, or anywhere in between, we appreciate all you do!

Enjoy your well-deserved Labor Day break!

Hard to believe it’s been nine fantastic years since Ian Baker joined our Running Pony family! Time flies when you have someone who makes DIT and data storage not only look easy but also fun!

From deciphering complex video codecs to ensuring our servers run smoother than a pony on a racetrack, Ian has done it all with a smile and a bit of humor. Here’s to many more years of data wrangling, Ian!

Today, we celebrate our furry friends who bring endless joy, slobbery kisses, and wagging tails into our lives. Whether they're chasing their tails, stealing snacks, or cuddling up next to us, dogs make every day an adventure. Here are a few of our Ponies’s doggies.

Although he’s only celebrating his first anniversary with Running Pony, Jeremy Ellison has already brought many years’ worth of creativity, dedication, and passion for digital content to every project. Thank you, Jeremy, for your hard work and commitment. We can't wait to see what the future holds as we continue to grow and achieve great things together!

Although the title says we shouldn’t do it, we’re absolutely recommending Zero Stars, Do Not Recommend, the debut novel from our longtime client Michael Wassmer. Michael grew up in the greater Memphis area and spent 10 years working with one of our major corporate clients. We’re excited to celebrate his new career as a novelist!
