Video production
shaped around your
organization and goals
Simply Media is a Minneapolis video production company creating brand films, customer stories, event content, and more. We take the time to understand your organization, develop the creative approach with you, and guide production from the first conversation to the final edit.
Understanding your
organization shapes how
we approach the work
Whether you’re introducing your organization, explaining a product or service, or producing an ad, video should reflect what matters to your organization and the people you’re trying to reach.
We ask questions, contribute ideas, and help determine what the audience needs to see, hear, or feel. That understanding guides the decisions throughout production—from who we interview and what we film to how we structure the final edit.
What We Do
Corporate & Brand
Make what you do understandable
From brand positioning and products to thought leadership, customer stories, and advertising, we create video that helps people understand your value, build confidence, and move forward.

Events & Conferences
Make the experience tangible

Video production experience across industries

“We recently worked with the team at Simply Media for a commercial for our dealership and couldn't be happier with the process or the result. They reached out immediately, and were able to accommodate an expedited timeline that we asked for. The day of shooting we knew exactly what to expect and they were incredible to work with. We will be working with them again and recommend them highly!” - Demi Westfall | Marketing Director

A more informed process
-
We learn about your organization, audience, and goals. Together, we clarify what the video needs to do, where it will be used, and what matters most to the project.
-
We recommend a creative approach and turn it into a practical production plan. Messaging, format, filming requirements, and deliverables come together in a proposal your team can review, share, and feel confident moving forward with.
-
We coordinate production, guide people on camera, and capture the footage your project needs, with a crew suited to the scope. In editing, we bring the story, visuals, and sound together, with opportunities for your team to review and refine the work.
-
You receive finished videos prepared for their intended use—from websites and social channels to sales conversations, recruiting campaigns, and event screens.
Thoughtful preparation and
active interview direction
A good interview takes preparation, attention, and the ability to recognize an important idea when it emerges.
We learn about your organization so we can ask useful questions and follow the conversation beyond a prepared list. We help people feel comfortable, explore the details, and express themselves naturally—whether they’re sharing technical knowledge, a customer experience, or what makes their work meaningful.
That combination of preparation and active direction helps us capture specific, substantive answers and build a stronger finished story.
Since 2018 · 500+ Video Projects · 1,000+ Interviews

For organizations with an ongoing need for video, our Annual Partnerships provide a creative and production partner who builds familiarity with your organization over time.
Each project adds to our understanding of your audience, brand, and priorities. Your team spends less time bringing a production company up to speed and can build on previous work with someone who already knows the context.
