Our Clients
Over the past 35 years, we have designed, built, or retrofitted some of the most journalism and media companies in the world. Our unique brand of video storytelling gets results, Audiences are engaged and ratings go up, as does productivity while costs are radically cut.
CBS News
We have started to work with CBS News, bringing our ideas of character-driven storytelling to one of the most successful and biggest networks in the United States. Since beginning to work with them ratings have climbed and more importantly, audience engagement is through the ceiling.
The BBC
We have been working with the BBC since the year 2000 helping to convert their national news network to our visual storytelling technique. Most recently we have trained teams from their sports, documentaries, and comedy divisions to make character-driven stories using only smartphones.
Spectrum News
For the past five years we have worked with Spectrum News to introduce and train their journalists on visual, character driven storytelling using smartphones helping to create a different kind of local news.

To a person, they almost always select stories are are upbeat, uplifting and heartwarming. This tells us something. This tells us what people actually WANT to see. These are stories that universally make us feel better about our world, our community and ourselves.
