What Bravebird®️ does

Bravebird is a privately held, Indigenous-led full-service multimedia creative studio founded in 2015 and based in Madison, Wisconsin. The company is co-founded by life partners Alejandro Miranda (Co-Founder | Partner) and Noel Miranda (Co-Founder | Producer), with Tim Peters serving as Partner; leadership operates a small core team of approximately seven people. Bravebird's service catalog spans video and film production, post-production, photography, motion graphics, graphic design, website design and development, brand identity/logo design, and strategy and copywriting, delivered as project-based professional services engagements.

The agency's competitive positioning rests on a Cultural Storytelling Methodology anchored in Alejandro Miranda's Huichol and Taíno heritage, distinguishing it from generic creative shops. Bravebird is ASC (American Society of Cinematographers) trained and certified as a Minority Business Enterprise, and has accumulated 9 Telly Awards, 3 Creativepool Awards (UK), 5 American Advertising Awards, a Best International Short Film at the Oxford International Film Festival, and a Cannes Short Film Corner selection for its debut work 'Fantasy In D Minor.'

Bravebird serves approximately 18 named clients across purpose-driven verticals, including Johns Hopkins Center For Indigenous Health, Native American Rights Fund, PBS Wisconsin, University of Wisconsin-Madison, American Family Insurance, Bose, Musicnotes, Park Bank, and MGE. Revenue is generated through project-based creative engagements quoted per project; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is founder-controlled with no institutional investment, and distributes work through direct client engagements plus film festival circuits including Cannes, Oxford, Bentonville, San Diego Latino, NY Latino, Phoenix, and NALIP.
