A media production company that grew a line of work every time a client asked for the next thing.

What the company is
Production is the core of the business, and corporate content is the core of that.
Around it we run a full marketing and advertising practice — campaigns, live events and activations, photography, print production and signage — plus media training, theatre and venue management, and our own film and television work.
Founded in 2007 as an LLC and incorporated in 2017, the company started in film and video and has been taking on client work since 2010. It is a team, not one person, and it is service-disabled veteran owned.
How the list grew
The list of work is not a strategy somebody wrote down in 2007. It is what happens when the answer to “can you also do this” is yes and then has to be true.
The company was founded in 2007 to make film and video, and that is still the part of the business everything else was built on. Client work started in 2010. It incorporated in 2017.
Marketing and advertising came next, because clients who had a film made needed the campaign the content belonged to. Photography followed for the same reason: a campaign needs images of the actual product, the actual store and the actual night, not a stock library. Print and signage came when those campaigns had to exist as a banner over a door and a label on a bottle. Event activation came when somebody had to be there on the day the banner went up. Theatre and venue management came when the rooms themselves needed running, not just advertising.
Every one of those was a client asking for the next thing. The alternative was handing them to somebody else, and each time the answer was to build it instead. That is why one inquiry can cover a campaign, the content that carries it, the print it needs, the night it runs on and the room it runs in — and why it is one team and one schedule rather than four companies and four invoices.

- TodayProduction first, one team
A media production company that runs the whole campaign.
A media production company that grew a marketing and advertising practice around its own cameras. Everything below is run by the same team, which is why the content, the campaign it belongs to and the night it lands on do not have to be scheduled across four companies.

How we work
Four operating facts rather than a set of values. Each one is something a client can check against what actually happens on their job.
One team, one schedule
The people who write the campaign are the people who shoot it, design the printed piece and stand at the event when the banner goes up. Nothing in that chain is brokered out to somebody we then have to chase.
Field discipline
The company was founded by a retired U.S. Navy Combat Cameraman — ten years shooting in the field, on deadline. Most of this work happens outdoors, on a lot, in a service bay or in a venue, on the one day it can happen.
Designed in house
Artwork is drawn here. We do not put our name on creative we bought, and we do not put our name on print we did not design.
We say what it takes
A date that is not possible gets said out loud when the job is quoted, not the week it is due.
