Our story

1:1 Studios emerged in 2022 from a simple idea: what if three freelancers with different backgrounds combined forces? With backgrounds in documentary filmmaking, design, music video production, and running a small business, we saw the potential in pooling our skills.

Video production has always been at our core, a service we've been proud to offer in some capacity since 2014. Recognizing the changing landscape of small business needs, we expanded into web design and branding. Now, 1:1 Studios stands as a one-stop shop for online essentials, helping businesses navigate the digital space with ease.

Looking ahead, our goal is to grow alongside the Missoula community. We're committed to investing in local talent and supporting the thriving small business scene. At 1:1 Studios, we're all about making a tangible difference — right here, in the heart of Missoula.

Our Philosophy

At 1:1 Studios, our philosophy is built on a foundation of simplicity, clarity, and genuine connection. We believe that these core values not only drive our creative process but also shape the relationships we build with our clients.

Keep it Simple

No one wants their time wasted. That’s why we champion a straightforward and efficient approach to creative solutions. By cutting through complexity, we deliver clear and impactful results that resonate with our clients and their audiences.

Clarity in Communication

Clear communication is at the heart of everything we do. Whether it’s understanding our client's vision or conveying a message through our work, we ensure transparency and openness in our interactions.

Building Genuine Connections

We see our clients not just as business partners but as friendships waiting to happen. This approach allows us to create more personalized and effective solutions, tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. Because if you aren’t winning, we aren’t either.

Commitment to Quality

Our dedication to quality is unwavering. From the initial concept to the final delivery, we maintain the highest standards to ensure that our clients receive nothing but our best.

Our Process

Adaptive Methodology

We embrace a dynamic approach to every project. We understand that no two clients are the same, and neither are their needs. That's why we're always ready to adapt our methods to best suit your unique project requirements.

Fluid Team Roles

Our team is versatile, with each member skilled in multiple aspects of creative work. This flexibility allows us to fluidly switch roles and take on different responsibilities, ensuring that every project aspect gets the expert attention it deserves.

Quality Assurance

Every project we undertake is a commitment to excellence. From initial concepts to final deliverables, our focus is on delivering high-quality work that not only meets but exceeds your expectations.

Client Collaboration

Your insights are invaluable to us. We believe in a collaborative workflow where your ideas and feedback are integral to the creative process. It's a partnership where your voice is heard and valued every step of the way.

Open Communication

Clear and consistent communication forms the backbone of our work. We keep you informed and involved, ensuring transparency and alignment from start to finish. Your peace of mind is as important as the project itself.

Community
Engagement

Missoula isn't just where we work; it's our home. Growing up here, we've experienced firsthand the support and warmth of this community. Now, as a successful agency, we believe it's our turn to give back to the place that has given us so much.

Each year, we pledge our creative services to at least one local non-profit, helping to amplify their voice and mission. We've had the honor of working with remarkable organizations like Watson Children's Shelter and Missoula Children's Theater, and most recently, we partnered with Families First.
