WHERE YOUR BRAND'S STORY FINDS ITS TRUE FORM.
UNLEASHING THE POWER OF VISUAL STORYTELLING FOR IMPACTFUL VIDEO MARKETING.
GENTLE THUG VISUAL MEDIA: BOLD IDEAS, STREAMLINED CREATIVITY
Welcome! I'm Tim Ljunggren, Chief Creative Officer of GENTLE THUG VISUAL MEDIA.
At GENTLE THUG VISUAL MEDIA, storytelling isn’t just what we do—it’s who we are. Our journey began in the backseat of an F-15 Eagle, capturing high-stakes moments for fighter pilots with nothing but a JVC camera and an eye for precision. Decades later, that same passion for clarity, focus, and purpose drives everything we create.
We’re not your typical video marketing agency. We take pride in turning bold ideas into impactful visuals, crafting content that not only looks great but resonates deeply with your audience. Whether you’re a nonprofit seeking to inspire, a business ready to grow, or a brand with a story waiting to be told, we’re here to help you bring it to life.
Our approach is simple: we listen, we collaborate, and we deliver videos that make a difference. Every frame we shoot is a reflection of our commitment to excellence and the belief that the right story—told the right way—can change everything.
Welcome to storytelling with purpose. Welcome to GENTLE THUG VISUAL MEDIA.
