Allied Pixel

What Allied Pixel does

Allied Pixel is a privately held Philadelphia-based video production and personalized video technology company founded in 1993 by Bill Haley. The company operates a dual offering: traditional full-service video production (enrollment videos, fundraising videos, branding, campus tours, live webcasting) and a proprietary data-driven personalized video platform that ingests student, donor, or customer data from client CRM systems and renders thousands of unique individualized videos at scale. Its core technology is a personalized video rendering engine with native integrations to Slate, TargetX/Salesforce, Ellucian, and Element 451 CRMs, enabling automated rendering and delivery workflows once APIs are mapped. The company employs approximately 30 staff spanning leadership, production, post-production, technology and data, and administration.

The company's primary customer base is US higher education, where it serves 300+ colleges and universities across all 50 states through projects targeting enrollment yield, financial aid clarification, parent engagement, advancement, and alumni relations. Secondary verticals include nonprofits, businesses, and automotive. Allied Pixel generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements with multi-year contract cadences; pricing is custom-quoted based on video volume, CRM integration complexity, and deployment scope rather than published tiered pricing. The company has accumulated over 200 national awards for creative excellence and 2,000+ projects since founding.

Allied Pixel's go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven, combining direct enterprise field sales with conference presence at NACAC, AACRAO SEM, AMA Symposium for the Marketing of Higher Education, eduWeb Summit, and RNL National Conference, supplemented by webinars, a gated Higher Ed Guide for lead capture, and partner referrals. Key channel partnerships include an exclusive Personalized Financial Aid Video arrangement with Encoura/RNL, a parent engagement co-development partnership with JBellavance Consulting, and AI audio description integration with 3Play Media. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, led by founder Bill Haley as President, with Pete Bretz as VP Technology and Rayce Rollins as CFO.
