Imaginology

What Imaginology does

Imaginology is a privately held, founder-operated education marketing and media production company headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, founded in 1996 as an Arizona LLC. The company delivers animation programming, stop motion, puppetry, 2D animation, live and on-demand video production, live streaming, and custom software design including Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI) for healthcare, biomedical, government, and non-profit clients. Named enterprise engagements include Medtronic (global sales training and education), Acclarent (surgical device iPad marketing app that drove a 30% sales lead increase), ACCESS Medical LLC (medical communications), and VAS Communications (web and digital media services since 2000). The firm operated without a physical studio for over two decades before opening its first location at 1501 Grand Ave in Phoenix's Grand Avenue Arts District in 2020, pivoting into live streaming production during the COVID-19 pandemic. The team is small (1-10 employees, approximately 9 named individuals) led by Founder and Chief Imaginologist Nathaniel Jack Greene, with support from a CTO, Senior Advisor, Engineer, Manager, and Intern Officer. Business model is professional services with project-based and quotation-driven pricing; revenue streams derive from custom animation, video, software, and live streaming engagements. Distribution is direct sales-led, supplemented by organic social media presence, a blog, and community arts event participation (Mural Mondays, Grand Avenue Arts Festival). The firm has no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional investors, and no subsidiaries.
