About – Bridge City Media

You trust us with your stories, we bring them to life with care and integrity.

We’re a team of artists, strategists, and big-picture thinkers.

Our team boasts decades of combined experience in brand strategy and video production for small to very large companies. We create nearly everything in-house, which gives us the space to grow deep relationships with our clients and each other.

Since 2016, we’ve served 200+ businesses and nonprofits across our city and beyond, telling stories of passionate brands across a multitude of industries. And as a B Corp and Benefit Corporation for Good, we back our values with action and accountability.

Our work has gone on to be recognized in Expertise’s 2023 lists for Best Advertising Agencies of Portland and Manifest’s 2022 top 10 Visual Effects Companies in Portland. We’re proud to be the highest-rated video production company in Oregon on Google.

We build stories that deepen your brand and support strategic calls to action.

Our values guide the ways we make decisions, run our workplace, and engage our communities.

Genuinely Honest

We take our responsibility as advertisers seriously.

In addition to our certifications as a B Corp and Benefit Corporation, we’ve built rigorous internal and external policies that help us stay true to our team, city, and planet. We say no to greenwashing, wokewashing, and the poster child. We say yes to honest strategies and content that reflect the full, genuine character of your company while speaking directly to your audience.

Kind

We think the best work comes from strong creative partnerships.

And we also know that the world of advertising and video production is unfortunately known for being fast-paced and sometimes even cutthroat. We see kindness as more than just creating a community of clients, but building a practice of close listening, honest feedback, and just the right amount of silliness on set.

No Frills

Unless that's what you're going for, that is.

We take pride in making exactly what you need. We stay on trend with all the bells and whistles, but we’re not here to sell you anything that's not in your best interest. When discussing your company goals and challenges, we always bring a touch of pragmatism to the table to make sure we’re keeping you on track and on budget. If we think your work is great but you’ve got some steps to take before you’re ready for video, we’ll tell you so.

Not just nice ideas, but true commitments.

We’ve developed these values in addition to our external policies, which define how we hire, who we work for, and who we don’t work for. And we back it all up with rigorous third-party evaluations through our B Corp and Benefit Corporations for Good certifications.
