your story. nothing else matters.
YOUR STORY. NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.
Here’s the deal: at GENTLE THUG VISUAL MEDIA, you’re not paying for an office lease that costs more than your car. We don’t have a payroll full of people who are “just here for the meetings.” You're not putting your hard-earned money into video production and marketing that's as stale as a fruitcake passed around every holiday season since 1999.
What you're paying for:
We cut the fat so your money goes exactly where it should — into the kind of video marketing and strategy that gets people talking. And while we’re proudly based in Great Falls, Montana, our work has traveled coast-to-coast — from Spokane to New York City.
Here’s the kicker: we do it for a fraction of what the “big agencies” will charge you to buy another ficus tree for their lobby.
Most marketing agencies use nostalgia as a résumé—“We’ve been around for decades, trust us.” It’s safe, predictable, and forgettable. That’s nostalgia as a shield. But the real power of nostalgia comes when it’s used as a sword—pulling emotion from the past to make people feel something now. A Saturday morning cartoon. A late-night TV classic. A cultural memory that flips into a modern story worth sharing. One version keeps brands stuck in the past. The other cuts through noise, creates impact, and makes them unforgettable. The choice isn’t between old and new—it’s between safe and alive.
. They’ll tell you the video costs five figures. But really? You’re paying for the marble lobby, the oat-milk cortados, and Chad—the guy who still can’t export a CSV. The truth is, big agencies charge an arm and a leg not because the video is better, but because someone has to cover the rent on that espresso machine. The punchline? You don’t need a cathedral of overhead to get a video that actually works.
You just need someone who knows how to pick up a camera and get the job done.
At GENTLE THUG VISUAL MEDIA, we believe honesty is the best marketing policy. So here it is: if you’re looking for uninspired campaigns, buzzword roulette, overpriced mediocrity, and videos no one will remember, please don’t hire us.
But if you’re ready for bold ideas, unexpected storytelling, and marketing that actually sticks, well…you’ve been warned.

Great question, and here's our answer: because marketing isn’t just about telling stories — it’s about living them.
At GENTLE THUG VISUAL MEDIA, we believe creativity should be tested, refined, and proven in the real world. So, we launched GENTLE THUG SMOOTH VIBES, a 24-hour smooth jazz station that’s more than music — it’s our own marketing laboratory.
Every ad placement, every listener interaction, every creative decision is a chance to experiment with strategies we can bring to our clients. We’re not just making campaigns; we’re running a media ecosystem of our own.
And while other marketing agencies claim to “think outside of the box,” we realized a long time ago — there is no box. There’s only what you dare to build.
People don’t connect with logos—they connect with stories. Stories that feel lived-in, not scripted. Stories that speak to something real. At GENTLE THUG VISUAL MEDIA, we help you uncover the moments, the mission, and the messy humanity behind your brand or organization—and turn them into video narratives that move hearts and shift perspectives. Because it’s not about perfection. It’s about truth. And truth is what people remember.
At GENTLE THUG VISUAL MEDIA, we believe creativity beats cash every time. You don’t need a massive marketing budget to create video content that stuns, connects, and converts. By staying lean, thinking smart, and focusing on authentic storytelling, we help businesses and organizations produce high-quality video marketing that turns heads—without breaking the bank.
Our streamlined approach means fewer layers, faster turnarounds, and more personalized attention. We use industry-standard tools, talented freelancers, and a deep understanding of what truly moves people to craft videos that punch well above their weight. Whether you're a small business, a nonprofit, or a growing brand, you deserve powerful video marketing without the sticker shock—and that’s exactly what we deliver.
What if your most trusted brand…
…was telling you a story designed to control you?
What if your next campaign…
…wasn’t just marketing—but indoctrination with better lighting?
