A Message From Our CEO
How do you mark the exact moment a company is born? Sometimes it’s trickier than it seems. Back in 2006 we were digitizing home movies and doing high-end printing, but by 2009 we realized that our heart – and our experience – was in commercial production.
Over the years we’ve had the privilege of working with many talented people on fun, exciting and important projects. We’ve helped raise tens of millions of dollars for worthy causes and have created high-quality content for a variety of companies and organizations, from nonprofits to Fortune 100 companies.
It’s been quite a journey, and last year we underwent another metamorphosis with the reveal of our new name and brand: Riveo Creative. The new brand represents our vision for the future.
We are leading our industry with sustainability and are committed to telling stories of impact. These days we still make a lot of video content, but we also offer marketing planning and strategy, content creation, brand development, and design services. I’m so proud of our team and am grateful to everyone who has supported us over the years.
Thank you for being an important part of our story. Here’s to the next 15 years!
Elin Barton
