Good video starts
with understanding
Simply Media is a Minneapolis video production company that starts by understanding your organization, designs around your goals, and brings your message to life through video expertise. The result: video that communicates effectively and represents your organization well.
A marketing foundation
with A focus on video
Simply Media began in Minneapolis in 2018 as a content creation and marketing company, bringing strategy, production, and distribution together under one roof.
Over time, video became the clear focus. The work grew more specialized, the productions expanded, and the organizations we supported became more complex. Our original perspective stayed with us: understand why the content is being created, then build the work around that purpose.
Today, Simply Media produces corporate and brand videos, customer stories, people and culture content, and event coverage. Across those different projects, we help organizations turn what they know, do, and stand for into something their audiences can understand and connect with.
Craft in service
of communication
We care about beautiful images, thoughtful editing, clear sound, and the details that make a production feel polished. Those choices matter because they shape how people experience your message.
But the measure of a video goes beyond how it looks.
Does it make a complex offering easier to understand? Help a prospective customer see why your work matters? Give employees a clearer sense of direction? Capture an experience in a way that carries its value forward?
The purpose shapes the creative approach—from the story we tell and the people we feature to the pacing, visuals, and production scale.
We want the work to be well produced—and useful for the reason you commissioned it.
Understanding
builds over time
Every project teaches us something about your organization: how you communicate, what your audiences need, how decisions get made, and which details matter to your team.
Our Annual Partnerships create a structure for that continuity—combining ongoing production support with a working relationship that develops throughout the year.
We spend less time rebuilding context and more time applying it. Planning becomes more informed. Feedback becomes easier to interpret. We can contribute ideas with a better understanding of your priorities and how each production fits into the larger picture.

We’re a strong fit for organizations with something valuable to communicate that takes care to convey well—whether that’s a complex offering, specialized expertise, a customer’s experience, or a meaningful story about their people.
Our work spans many industries. The common thread is a need to make the message clear and engaging while preserving the details that matter.
-
The process starts with a thoughtful conversation. We listen, ask questions, and reflect back what we’re hearing so we can establish a shared understanding of your organization and the project.
If you have a developed brief, we work to understand the thinking behind it. If you’re starting with an objective, we help shape the approach and deliverables. From there, we take ownership of moving the production forward, bringing recommendations and keeping you involved at the decisions that need your input.
-
Our experience spans marketing, sales, corporate environments, entrepreneurship, and video production. That gives us a practical understanding of how video fits into an organization’s work—from helping prospective customers understand an offering to supporting recruitment or communicating leadership’s direction.
We’ve worked with teams in marketing, business development, sales, human resources, and executive leadership. We bring that broader context into our creative decisions, considering both the audience watching the video and the team putting it to use.
-
We build each team around the project. That may mean a small crew or a larger production with specialists in camera, lighting, audio, photography, talent, and other roles. We establish the production needs during planning so you know what to expect.
-
No. We produce individual projects as well as ongoing work.
Annual Partnerships are designed for organizations with recurring video needs that want consistent support throughout the year. They allow us to carry knowledge of your brand, audiences, and priorities from one project to the next, making each new production easier to plan and better informed.
