Meet Nicole Faim | Video agency owner. Photographer & videographer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Nicole Faim and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nicole, how does your business help the community?
in two ways.

1. I help people see how beautiful they are thru photography
2. We help business owners grow their business thru social media content. Which helps change their lives and boots their confidence

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’m the founder of a content-driven media agency dedicated to helping businesses grow through strategic content called 0ffline media

I started as a photographer and videographer simply because I loved the art. Holding a camera made me feel grounded, present — it felt like home. But over time, I realized that my creativity could serve something bigger. I began to see how content could transform small and medium-sized businesses, helping them scale not just their visibility, but their income. That’s when my mission shifted — from creating content for passion, to using it as a powerful vehicle for growth.

Today, we’ve helped clients reach over 2 million views on individual videos and even drive over $1 million in revenue through content-led campaigns alone.

But this journey wasn’t easy.

I’m an immigrant — a third-generation migrant from a Lebanese family born in Venezuela. When I was 19, I moved to the U.S. on a scholarship to complete my university studies. But getting here wasn’t a straight line. Before landing in the U.S., I moved to Panama with my family after my parents made a business investment that went terribly wrong — we lost nearly everything.

From Panama, I came to the U.S. with one piece of luggage — it held all my clothes, my belongings, and even the bedsheets I would sleep on. We simply couldn’t afford to buy new ones. I had no network here, no safety net — just my brother(who moved to a different state) and a dream.

I arrived in Kentucky not knowing much English, navigating a new culture and a new language. I fell into a deep depression, feeling lost and disconnected — until one day, I took a film class and we went on a field trip. The moment I picked up the camera, something shifted. I felt OK for the first time in a long time. I felt seen — even if just by myself.

Later, I moved to Miami and hustled my way into the media world. By 21, I was managing a team of 10 people, working three jobs while re-enrolling in school. My goal was clear: I wanted to build something of my own.

That moment came when the company I was working for shut down its media team. I suddenly had no job — but I had a chance to start.

For six months, I messaged anyone I saw with a camera, offering to carry cables in exchange for knowledge. I couldn’t afford much, but I knew I was investing in something that would matter. I said yes to every gig — music videos, graduation portraits, nightlife shoots, documentaries. I worked 15-hour days from Monday to Monday. I was building something from the ground up.

Eventually, a client hired me to create content for them monthly. We got real results — and that’s when I saw the opportunity to turn content into a system. I began offering my services as a full-scale media agency focused not just on visuals, but on real, monetary growth for our clients. Now I have a full team of creatives.

Through my agency, I’ve had the opportunity to work with major clients like Sony and Rimas Entertainment, and collaborate on projects with artists such as Juan Luis Guerra and creators like The Real Tarzan. We’ve filmed concerts, campaigns, and high-impact content that reaches massive audiences. These projects not only push our creative limits but also prove that great storytelling, when done right, scales — no matter the size of the brand or the stage.

One of the biggest challenges I’ve faced — and still face — is balancing the artist and the entrepreneur. As creatives, we create from emotion. But running a business demands structure and strategy. Learning to respect both sides — the heart and the hustle — has shaped me into the creative leader I am today.

I’m not just creating videos. I’m building bridges — between art and business, culture and opportunity, vision and execution.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
– Dania beach and eat at tiki tiki to watch the sunset and eat great sea food.
– key Biscayne and to workout at BOXR so they can get the full Miami workout experience
– Bayfront park
– if they aren’t Venezuelans I would take them to saman arepas so they can try great empanadas

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
