Descriptiontext

Mantis Media Productions is a founder-owned digital media production studio that has operated continuously since its 2003 founding by Boyce Markham. The company delivers an end-to-end service portfolio spanning story and script development, professional cinematography, post-production editing, 2D and 3D animation, live streaming and virtual events, photography, and video strategy consultation, positioning itself as a "collective of like-minded artists and strategic thinkers" rather than a large agency.

The firm serves a broad enterprise client base across multiple verticals. The public logo set includes major consumer brands such as Danone, Unilever, Kia, NASCAR, Hunter Douglas, and Xcel Energy, alongside financial services clients (Empower Retirement, Lincoln, Great West), healthcare (HCA HealthONE), education (Lincoln Educational Services), and nonprofits. Underlying production technology is described as professional-grade cinematography equipment paired with standard post-production editing software; no proprietary platform, AI pipeline, or software product is disclosed.

Mantis Media operates a sales-led, project-based professional services model. Pricing is quote-driven and tailored to each client's budget, with a "pay-as-you-go" cadence and explicit accommodation of last-minute requests. Lead generation runs through the company's website (mantismediatv.com) via portfolio, video library, and direct CTAs ("Request Our Portfolio," "Get a Quote Today"). The four-person leadership team carries the "Chief Entertainment Officer" title, reflecting a small, founder-led creative collective rather than a scaled production business. No external funding, parent company, acquisitions, or partnerships are disclosed in the available data.
