Case Study
As Galveston’s digital magazine, The 1839 serves as a modern storytelling platform for the island’s people, projects, and progress. Founded by the same creative team behind Falcontail, The 1839 was built from the ground up — encompassing branding, web development, editorial direction, and content production.
Falcontail designed and launched the website, created the brand identity, and continues to manage all digital operations, including social media, newsletters, advertising, and multimedia storytelling. From political interviews and community spotlights to economic features and event coverage, our team handles every aspect of production — photography, videography, interviews, editing, and publication.
In addition to publishing, Falcontail produces all promotional assets for The 1839’s public presence — including campaign materials, event collateral, sponsorship decks, and video series such as David Squared and Hearts of Galveston. This end-to-end creative and strategic management has positioned The 1839 as a trusted, independent voice in Galveston’s civic and cultural landscape — one that continues to grow its audience, influence, and community impact each month.
Built by Falcontail, The 1839 is Galveston’s digital magazine — a platform created to amplify the island’s stories, businesses, and community voices.
