Corduroy Media

I began my journey as a filmmaker because I saw the power of film to tell stories that were not being told. To highlight important work that never saw the light of day. Above all else, I saw that film had the power to create empathy and understanding among disparate groups. It gives each one of us an opportunity to reach out over the fence, get to know our neighbor, creating an opportunity for learning and compassion. Clients like University of California, San Francisco allow Corduroy Media to build on this inspiration and collaborate on stories that truly highlight diverse voices and points of view. Last year we had the honor of working with UCSF producing several pieces of content, from long-form storytelling to infographics to still photography - all to be used at UCSF SOTU 2024. This piece was one of my favorites, where we collaborated with UCSF Senior Creative Producer Gillian Grisman to profile future leaders at UCSF. https://lnkd.in/gYZJCXH4 Thank you Gillian Grisman, Max Morse, Carolina Reyes and all of our partners at UCSF for the opportunity to create work that educates, inspires and uplifts - and best of all creates an opportunity for learning, compassion and growth.

Our founder Carl Dusseau Brown is so geeked about our work with Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability he actually wrote a blog article about it. So if you want to take peep at the 5 videos we completed recently and learn a little bit about the process, treat yourself to a little work break. From a brand film, to animated explainer content the whole team is proud to work on the most critical issue of our time - sustainability. (pssst, and there is more to come ?? ) Thank you Dana Granoski, Kristin Atkins, Jennifer Gardner, Parul Gupta and Lynn C. Miles for the opportunity and on-going partnership. Big shout out to the Corduroy Media family for the great work: Sean Donnelly, Adrian Hopffgarten, Courtney Payne, Michael Pavoni, Sam Gouldthorpe. https://lnkd.in/gTYrqUYq

Great work team - Thank you Wayve!

Sometimes a little Bromance is all it takes! As a lifelong content creator and filmmaker there are always those projects that stick out in my mind as personal or professional "wins". They are not always the largest projects, or the most complex. Often times they are small projects with a lot of heart that have captured a unique moment in time. In this case one of my favorite projects in recent memory is also one that has been a big success for our clients Snowflake. Last week we were talking to our friends Maxine McGee and Paul Van Voorhis and my partner Sean Donnelly asked; "What has been the most successful project working with Corduroy Media over the last 5yrs?" The answer was unanimous "Bro-Mance". This little video affectionately called "Bro-Mance" tells the tail of Beno?t Dageville and Thierry Cruanes coming together with their love of data to start Snowflake. From what I understand, it is still shown at new-hire orientation almost 5yrs after we delivered it. That is some shelf life. Forever grateful to all of our clients for the opportunities to practice our craft and create - thank you Maxine McGee and Heather M. for introducing us to all our friends at Snowflake!

Working in Higher Education is one of our most gratifying verticals. It is with clients like Santa Clara University that we hope our work truly makes an impact on the next generation!

Each time we are introduced to a new prospective client we have an opportunity to continue to refine and develop the way that we communicate our process, value and differentiation. In a recent RFP, our Executive Creative Director Sean Donnelly did a fantastic job at communicating this in a visual way... It is always a challenge, in an initial RFP response, without the opportunity to pitch, to communicate the nuance of our approach and process. Take a peek - we'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions. #growthmindset #creativeagency #RFP #pitch

Love watching the team explore new tools and how they support creativity! At the end of the day, it's not the tools that make work great - it's the creative humans behind those tools!

Thanks Sean Donnelly - this is a good reminder why our tagline "make em' feel something" is important. Without some type of emotional investment how do we expect to compel our audience to take action - it is only through that action that media has true impact, on individuals and society at large.
