Founded in 2019, the firm employs 1-10 people and delivers six service lines: video production, web design and development, graphic design and branding, marketing and advertising, media buying, and consulting. Its core capability is cinematic video production for public-service announcements and campaign films, supported by audience access through a sister-company relationship with We Are The Mighty and 100+ military publisher relationships.

The company's revenue model is professional-services based, anchored on federal government contracting through SAM.gov as an SDVOSB set-aside vendor, with the VA, DoD, VHA, and Veterans Experience Office as primary clients. Secondary revenue streams include nonprofit and NGO contracts (Blue Star Families, Ad Council, AARP, Brady Foundation, Green Beret Foundation) for social-impact campaigns, and commercial brand partnerships with companies seeking to reach the military and veteran community (Craftsman, Wargaming, Leonardo DRS, Roadside Attractions). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and contract values are determined through government procurement. Distribution of produced content spans broadcast TV, CTV/OTT, YouTube, social, and programmatic digital, with media buying executed via Official Agency Partner status with Google and Meta.

Notable named campaigns include Face Your Dragon (Capital Emmy-winning VA/DoD suicide-prevention PSA, 24M+ YouTube views, 350M impressions), Songs of Service (NY Emmy-winning Army Field Band special), Stay Ahead (Northern California Emmy-winning VA oncology PSA), and Combat the Silence (Emmy-winning Blue Star Families mental-health series).
