Rachel Cannon, Founder and Co-CEO of Prairie Surf

Rachel Cannon, Founder and Co-CEO of Prairie Surf Media, was recently named one of the Top 100 Women to KNOW in America. We are so proud of Rachel and the work she continues to do as a woman in business. Passionate about creating a path for more women to work in leadership roles, Rachel loves to mentor the next generation. “It’s not enough to be a strong woman in business, it’s our obligation to kick open those doors for more to follow. Let’s go ladies,” says Cannon. At Prairie Surf, we are excited to expand opportunities for women in both leadership and in film as Oklahoma continues to grow the film industry in our home state.

Last week, Founders and Co-CEOs, Rachel Cannon and Matt Payne, spoke to the Yukon Chamber of Commerce about the film in their home state. Sharing their vision for Prairie Surf included how they want to partner with local businesses, further the state’s legislative efforts and influence the growth of workforce through education partnerships. Originally from Yukon, Rachel was able to visit with friends, Jarrid Wright and Brian Ketchum. Wright who works at Metro Signs built the 80 foot sign for Prairie Surf Media. Visiting with members of the community and old friends is the perfect kind of day for those at Prairie Surf Media!

On Memorial Day, Prairie Surf proudly sponsored a private screening of Top Gun: Maverick for our armed forces. One of the audience members was Col. Chuck DeBellevue. Col.

We’d like to thank the Oklahoma Aeronautics Commission for their work in making this day so special.
