Daniel Kathman
FOUNDER
Seventeen years ago, Dan took out a student loan—not for school, but to launch his first video production and photography business in 2009. Since then, he has worked with national clients, international brands, TV shows, and local businesses, building a reputation for high-quality, engaging content.
Dan has experienced firsthand what it’s like to shut down a business—and even more painfully, what it’s like to be in a family where a business goes under, turning the threat of losing everything into a harsh reality. After facing those struggles multiple times, he made it his mission to use his skills and knowledge to ensure that no business has to shutter its doors and endure the devastation he and his family have faced. He is dedicated to helping businesses not only survive but thrive, using the power of storytelling, strategy, video, photo, advertising and marketing to create lasting success.
