Fresh Air Media

What Fresh Air Media does

Fresh Air Media, Inc. is a privately held, founder-led video production and broadcast services firm founded in 1984 and headquartered in Auburn, California with a secondary base in Incline Village, Nevada. The company operates with 11-50 employees and delivers a full-service workflow covering research, development, production, and multi-platform distribution across satellite, streaming, and live event channels. Core technical capabilities include multi-camera production with specialized equipment (24 ft camera jibs, gimbals, certified UAV drones), custom motion graphics, satellite uplink coordination, and streaming delivery to international audiences.

The company's distribution infrastructure is a defining feature: 20+ years of satellite coordination reaching 200+ nations in 55 languages via 500+ downlink sites annually, streaming delivery to 135+ sites and 13 nations, and live event support across 400+ locations worldwide. Service offerings span video production, live event support, satellite and streaming delivery, government meeting production, motion graphics, drone/GIS services, and research and consulting. The go-to-market is sales-led and project-based with quote-driven pricing, relying on direct client relationships and referrals rather than active digital marketing.

Fresh Air Media primarily serves three verticals: government organizations (notably California state commissions and the County of Placer since 1990), non-profit and religious organizations (World Vision, Convoy of Hope, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association historically, Promise Keepers historically, ACSI, Saddleback Church), and a smaller set of corporate clients. Marquee engagements include the 1997 Stand in the Gap event on the National Mall (1.2 million attendees) and the 2008 Saddleback Civil Forum featuring presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain. The firm is bootstrapped, with no disclosed funding, M&A, or institutional investors, and founders remain actively involved in operations.
