Storyboard Media Group

What Storyboard Media Group does

Storyboard Media Group is a person-powered creative video agency founded in March 2013 by Michael Hammond and headquartered in the NYC/NJ metro area (Montclair, NJ). The company produces corporate, commercial, and brand-marketing video content spanning animated explainers, product launch videos, testimonials, corporate event coverage, learning and training content, and social/e-commerce video across vertical, horizontal, interactive, and 360-degree formats. Capabilities cover the full production pipeline — concept development, scripting, storyboarding, filming, directing, cinematography, drone videography, animation, and post-production.

The company's business model combines project-based fees for one-off engagements with a Flex Content Creation subscription service (3, 6, or 9-month plans priced at $2,500, $2,900, and $3,500 per month respectively) for clients needing recurring branded short-form content. Customer acquisition is entirely sales-led via the company website, discovery calls, and Google Calendar booking. The customer base spans startups to Fortune 100 brands across fashion/lifestyle (GANT, Mustela, Shiseido, Davek NY), consumer goods (Unilever), technology (Google, Spotify, Fastly, HYPR), professional services (Deloitte), government (Port Authority of NY/NJ, US Army, State Bar of California, GoDurham/RATP Dev), and education/training (Chelsea Piers, Raymour & Flanigan, Caliper Corp., United Technical Institute).

Storyboard's production footprint is asset-light, with a small core team augmented by freelance crew for complex shoots, and active operations have spanned NY, NJ, CT, PA, VA, CA, TX, Ontario, Ireland, and Portugal. The founder has publicly differentiated the agency through a human-first creative philosophy, declining to substitute AI-generated content for human creative professionals.
