What studio d yxe does

Studio D YXE is a Saskatoon, Saskatchewan-based creative production house founded in 2012 by Matt Ramage, operating as a brand under Matt Ramage Media Corp. The company delivers photography, filmmaking, design, and social media marketing services to a client mix that spans local startups and individual professionals to multi-billion dollar enterprises including Nutrien, Lululemon, Cargill, the University of Saskatchewan, the City of Saskatoon, and Federated Co-operators. Its core product surface is built around professional production: full-frame mirrorless cameras, gimbals, drones, and professional audio, with post-production handled in DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut, and Adobe Premiere, and the work is unified by an explicitly strategy-first, storytelling-led methodology rather than pure aesthetics.

The business operates with a small core team of approximately 4-5 creatives, including the founder, a Vancouver Film School-trained Lead Filmmaker (Darcy Stobbe, joined 2024), a Lead Photographer and Production Manager, a Lead Videographer/Producer/Director, and a Social Media Director and Account Manager. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based professional services fees for photography, filmmaking, and content marketing, with a recurring monthly retainer stream from done-for-you social media management and event-based fees for conferences, trade shows, and seminars via the dedicated livestreaming service.

The go-to-market is sales-led, using a discovery-call-first conversion path, supplemented by event-driven demand generation through paid public workshops and a podcast (The Studio D Podcast), plus content marketing via blog, social media, and free social media audits as lead magnets. Geographic footprint is anchored in Saskatoon with project work extending across Saskatchewan, Alberta, and into Seattle and San Francisco. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, which is consistent with a custom-service agency model rather than a productized offering.
