what moves us
Why Minivan Productions?
human centered design
We believe your story deserves to be told by someone willing to make space for it.
The heart behind why this company exists is to listen and then amplify - so that brands, missions, and movements can find their voice.
We commit to asking questions, walking alongside you, and showcasing value where it’s going unseen.
Relationships create awareness; awareness creates change.
Media that moves Relationships, People, Culture, YOU.
Departure from the usual
As kids, we are incredible divergent thinkers. A stack of cardboard can be a plane, a race car, or a time-traveling machine!
We see a lot of those curious kids now taking more traditional patterns... we still see blank canvases. Holding onto that childlike curiosity means thinking fiercely about disrupting the way we are taught to see things. We're intentional about encouraging and affirming new ideas and strap in with you, rather than cave to fear in the unknown.
We don’t know everything - we really shouldn’t as long as the realm of possibilities truly stays endless, so we stay eager to learn.
To that end, we are committed to the power of curiosity, to the beauty in the unknown, and an unflinching belief that there’s another way to do things.
Media that moves Investors, Products, What's Next, etc.
what's on the inside counts
There must be a purpose to the content we create, the interactions we engage in and the mark we leave on a room.
We aren't looking to disrupt your culture, we're looking to be a part of it! That purpose is why we work with people we believe in - companies, organizations, causes, and initiatives we believe in.
We want to craft media that moves cultures and communities, so we can’t lose sight of why we’re really here:
To start meaningful conversations with meaningful audiences.
Media that moves Causes, Movements, Donors, etc.
That's a little about our story
we exist to make sure people hear yours.
Location
Tested for Distance
We're parked in San Diego, but we're built for cross country travel, and we never say no to a good old fashion road trip for the right conversation.
We've been everywhere from Dallas to Seattle and Miami and Atlanta to Boston. Phoenix, Denver, Chicago, New York, Grand Rapids, Philadelphia, Alaska and BC? Don't worry we didn't forget about you. Oh.. and San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles and Santa Barbara here in the home state? C'mon.
We've leveraged our proven travel package to ensure low footprint, high quality content is flowing from anywhere, anytime.
