What Solon Quinn Studios does

Solon Quinn Studios is a privately held, founder-owned creative agency founded in 2008 by Solon Quinn in Syracuse, New York, with a stated headcount of 1–10 people. The firm operates an end-to-end creative services practice spanning video production, professional photography, graphic design, and integrated video advertising campaigns. Its client base is concentrated in the Northeast US and spans healthcare systems, financial institutions, hospitality brands, nonprofit organizations, higher education institutions, defense contractors, and retail, with case-study work referencing brands such as Destiny USA, Syracuse University, Upstate University Hospital, Pathfinder Bank, SRC Inc., AmeriCU, Kinney Drugs, Make-A-Wish, ProLiteracy, and the Woodbine Group.

The firm's core delivery assets are an on-site production studio of over 1,500 square feet equipped with state-of-the-art production gear, and a tightly defined service catalog covering creative strategy, content production (commercials, brand videos, social media content, recruitment and fundraising videos, product and documentary work), and digital distribution. Distribution capability has been extended beyond owned platforms to include paid placement on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and Hulu, with media planning handled in-house by a dedicated Media Planner. Aerial cinematography and specialty camera services are accessed through a strategic partnership with Zero Point Aerial (Todd Torrance), whose prior credits include Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Original productions.

Commercially, Solon Quinn Studios sells on a project-based, custom-quote professional services model with no published pricing; go-to-market is relationship-driven B2B sales targeted at Northeast-region enterprises and institutions, supplemented by social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn and a portfolio-led website. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed, there is no institutional funding or parent company, and the firm is founder-controlled with long-tenured management (Founder/Creative Director Solon Quinn and Executive Producer Benjamin Schechter, both with the company since 2008).
