We love the brand-focused work GMS Media has created for local partners like Boost Oregon, Blue Star Donuts, and ALSO Heart Work. Plus, the video we showcase here that they made for Nong’s Khao Man Gai made us all kinds of hungry. In terms of national partners, GMS Advertising has experience there, too, going to bat for brands like Caesar’s Palace.

This list would not be complete without Portland creative agency WE ARE PDX. This talented, passionate group of creatives offers various services, including photography, web design, and, of course, video production.

The team at WE ARE PDX describes their founding as the result of necessity, explaining that they “realized that life’s too short to pour our hearts and souls into something unless it makes us truly happy: so we uprooted from our corporate careers and large advertising agencies to pursue a far less predictable creative future”. Also, be sure to check out their client list, which includes The North Face, Adventure Wagon, and Orox Leather Company. 

7. Two Penguins

Two Penguins is a Portland-based creative agency with additional offices in both Chicago and New York City. Their extensive service offerings include film and video production, photography, music composition, and…expert jet piloting. (The jet piloting is a joke — we think?)

8. Lightbox Filmworks

Lightbox Filmworks is another well-established video production company out of the greater Portland, Oregon area. Lightbox Filmworks’ mission is to “increase brand awareness and grow your business,” and their brand videos certainly live up to this goal. In doing so, they break the production process down into three segments – plan, produce, and polish.

The team at Lightbox Filmworks has created some seriously cinematic video pieces, and their polished work demonstrates high production value. They have worked for notable brands such as FinishLine, Nike, Camelbak, and Adidas.
