LiftedMedia

What LiftedMedia does

LiftedMedia is a Texas-based creative production and digital marketing agency founded in 2017 that operates across five core service lines: video production, 2D/3D visual effects and animation, professional cinema drone cinematography, virtual reality and augmented reality training, and bundled marketing solutions. The company targets both enterprise clients (NASA, ExxonMobil, Paramount, Stryker, SLB, Smithsonian Channel, TxDOT, Battleship Texas Foundation) and SMB customers across verticals including industrial/manufacturing, healthcare, energy/oil & gas, travel/hospitality, non-profit, education, and e-commerce. Its go-to-market is consultative direct engagement with free discovery sessions, supplemented by inbound via website and live chat.

On the production side, LiftedMedia deploys industry-leading equipment including ARRI ALEXA Mini LF cameras, heavy-lift FPV drones, Inspire 2 & 3 platforms, Cinewhoop drones, motion control robotics, and a full VFX/CGI pipeline. It operates Captiv Studios, a virtual production facility using Unreal Engine to blend live-action and digital environments, and builds VR/AR training experiences on Unity and Unreal. On the commercial side, it pairs project-based professional services (50% upfront, 50% on completion) with tiered quarterly subscription retainers (Business, Business+, Enterprise plans) that bundle social media management, graphic design, video production days, SEO, website development, and a small ad-spend budget.

The company has no disclosed funding, no public leadership profile, and operates from a single Texas location. Its strategic posture is one of a small, privately held production studio progressively layering higher-value capabilities (virtual production, VR/AR, motion control robotics) and recurring revenue onto a project-services base, marketing itself primarily through its enterprise logo portfolio and recurring event work such as the Texas Renaissance Festival.
