Bonnemaison

What Bonnemaison does

Bonnemaison is a Baltimore-based, privately held digital media production company founded by Mari Bonnemaison (CEO) that delivers full-service, script-to-screen video production for enterprise clients. Core capabilities span pre-production (script writing, storyboarding, casting, location scouting), production (commercials, documentaries, educational content, live streaming, short films, TV series), and post-production (animation, motion graphics, bilingual Spanish editing, color correction, mixing and mastering). The firm's differentiation rests on in-house voice-over talent led by Brooks T. Moore — narrator of Discovery Channel's 'How It's Made' for 16 years — a 40+ Telly and 8 Emmy award portfolio, and its status as a certified Minority Woman-Owned Business providing access to diversity-supplier sourcing programs. Customer work spans education (Walden, Chamberlain, Connections Academy, Pearson, Johns Hopkins), healthcare (ShiftMed, March of Dimes), government (BWI, Martin State Airport, MDOT), aerospace (Northrop Grumman via WSJ), and entertainment (Discovery Channel), with multi-year repeat engagements such as Walden University, BWI Marshall Airport, and the How It's Made series. Bonnemaison generates revenue through custom project-based professional services contracts, priced via quote rather than published tiers, and distributes primarily through direct enterprise sales supplemented by agency partnerships with Weber Shandwick, idfive, Digital Luz, and Wall Street Journal branded content.
