Meet Aidan: The Story Behind ColabCO and Why I Started a Videography & Marketing Agency in Western PA

If you're considering hiring someone to handle your video content or social media, you deserve to know who you're actually working with. My name is Aidan Mason, I'm based in Ligonier, PA, and I started ColabCO because I saw a real gap in the Western Pennsylvania market — local businesses with great products and services that were completely invisible online.

Why Western PA Businesses Were My Inspiration

Growing up and working in the Laurel Highlands, I watched incredible local businesses struggle to compete while big-city agencies either ignored them or charged prices that made no sense for a small regional market. A detailing shop in Greensburg. A dealership in Latrobe. A service company in the South Hills. These businesses had loyal customers and real stories worth telling — they just needed someone to tell those stories on camera and push them out to the right audience.

What ColabCO Actually Does Differently

I'm not a faceless agency with account managers and offshore editors. When you hire ColabCO, you work directly with me — from the first call through final delivery. I show up on location, I film your business, I edit the content, and I manage your social media personally. That means faster communication, more creative flexibility, and content that actually looks and feels like your brand rather than a generic template.

My Background in Video & Marketing

I've been passionate about filmmaking and storytelling for years, with a particular love for automotive content — cinematic rollers, car show coverage, detail shop transformations. I've combined that passion with a deep knowledge of social media strategy and what actually moves the needle for local businesses. Everything I do is focused on one outcome: getting you more clients.
