Wonder Boy Media was created in 2016 by Nathan Morris and Drew Hardesty. The two, long-time YouTube vloggers saw the need in businesses wanting to tell their stories through visual media. Having a history of video and photography work, the two formed the business to fill that need. In 2017 Wonder Boy Media brought on Joel in order to offer clients social media marketing. In 2020, Nathan and Drew came to a mutual and amicable agreement to make Drew the sole owner of Wonder Boy Media. Drew and Joel are committed to outside-the-box creativity. Utilizing various methods, Wonder Boy can provide the best imagery and story-telling to capture the essence of you and the movement you want to create.
