Washington Digital Media

What Washington Digital Media does

Washington Digital Media is a full-service video production and digital marketing agency founded in 2014 by Ricardo Villalba and Chris Schrack, headquartered at 3014 14th Street NW in Washington, DC. The company serves the Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) region, targeting government agencies, non-profit organizations, educational institutions, healthcare providers, e-commerce businesses, restaurants, and political campaigns. Its core deliverables span video production (commercials, documentaries, music videos, fundraising videos, event coverage), live streaming, full-service podcast production with distribution to Apple, Spotify, and Google Podcasts, event and studio photography, graphic and web design, and a digital marketing suite covering SEO, PPC, paid social, and social media content creation. The agency also provides multimedia capabilities including 2D and 3D animation, voice-over recording, music recording, and sound effects design, alongside studio space rental.

The business operates as a project-based professional services firm with mixed pricing: custom quotes for larger video and digital marketing engagements (with entry-level About Us Videos starting from $3,000), tiered hourly pricing for podcast sessions ($125-$375), and unit pricing for photography such as professional headshots ($25 for 30 minutes). Go-to-market combines direct sales for enterprise and government clients (with discovery calls and project scoping) and self-serve online booking for smaller transactional services, supported by active social media channels (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok), an SEO-optimized website, and content marketing via a company blog. The company also operates DC Media Academy, a wholly-owned educational sub-brand offering training in filmmaking, acting, and digital marketing.

Operationally, the firm reports 11-50 employees with approximately six named core team members (CEO, Founder/Executive Producer, COO, Creative Director, Producer for Latin Market, and Cinematographer/Editor) and claims more than 2,000 videos produced over a decade. It is privately held, founder-owned, and discloses no external funding rounds, acquisitions, or institutional investment. Public pricing is partially disclosed, revenue is not, and the firm does not advertise proprietary technology, AI/ML capabilities, or a software platform; the value proposition rests on creative talent, integrated service breadth, regional focus, and a multi-channel digital presence.
