Still Standing is a creative agency that specializes in capturing the meaning and desirability of a company and conveying it to the world. We deliver results-driven branding, social media, web design, advertising, marketing videos, print advertising, commercial & conceptual photography, and digital campaigns. We love to dive into each client’s individual story, find out what they are about, and solidify why they do what they do and what drives their passion. We then put that driving force into a (media) form that quickly engages target markets. We believe there’s a story behind every great brand or product and we help our clients tell those stories in a powerful, visual, and media-magnetic way. Brands I've done work for RedBull, Discovery Channel, Audix Microphones, American Heros Network, Castel Pictures, Google, Roto-Rooter Corporation, Century Bank, The Pivot Group, The Bunker, and QuickCart just to name a few.
