Digital One

What Digital One does

Digital One is a privately held audio post-production studio headquartered in a single 8,000-square-foot facility at 2112 SW 1st Ave. #100 in Portland, Oregon. The firm operates three studios, an edit suite, and two recording booths — including dedicated ADR stages with full remote-collaboration infrastructure (SourceConnect, ISDN, ipDTL, Comrex, Zoom) and Dolby Atmos mixing capability, plus VR and 360 spatial audio services. The team is roughly seven people (six engineers/producers plus a "Client Emotional Support Dog"), with Managing Director Michelle Stolberg and Senior Engineer/EP Eric Stolberg leading the firm, supported by ADR specialist Josh Millman, dialog editor Corey Crawford, sound supervisor Jeff Fuller, and Emmy-winning Senior Creative Producer Jason Sotomayor.

The company sells project-based professional audio services — sound design, mixing, ADR, Foley, dialogue editing, noise reduction, and final asset delivery — across film/TV, advertising, podcast, and audiobook work. Pricing is hourly with weekday minimums (1 hour), weekend minimums (4 hours), time-and-a-half overtime, and double-time on Sundays/holidays. Go-to-market is relationship-driven: direct and referral business from advertising agencies (Wieden+Kennedy, Sockeye), production companies (Koerner Camera, Marmoset, Rebeloop), and major film/streaming studios (Pixar, Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV+, DC Films). Marketing channels are community-led: a "What's Good" blog, the "Have A Nice Idea" podcast, Design Week Portland, the Northwest Filmmakers' Festival, the Produced By Her media camp, and recurring monthly donations to Transition Projects.

The customer base is unusually diverse for a 7-person shop, including Nike, adidas, On Running, the Doernbecher Freestyle program, Google, KFC, Audible, Penguin Random House, Simon and Schuster, Apple TV+, and Wieden+Kennedy. Differentiation rests on talent (Emmy-winning producers, award-winning work such as the Old Spice Invisible World), capital intensity (8,000 sq ft, Dolby Atmos, VR), and a Portland-based cost/quality arbitrage versus LA/NYC. The firm has no disclosed funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity.
