ABOUT BRANDON ATHEY
Brandon Athey is a seasoned video editor, Producer, and creative strategist with over a decade of professional experience—and a lifelong relationship with the camera. Born in 1989, he got his first camera at age 8, sparking a deep and enduring passion for visual storytelling.
His formal journey began with college-level studies in Radio, Television, and Film, where he built a strong foundation in production, direction, and post-production. He went on to enhance his craft through specialized courses in music production and philosophy, refining his ability to connect audio, mood, and meaning in his work. Early in his creative career, he also trained under a French photographer, where he learned the art of lighting, composition, and shot design—skills he later carried into his filmmaking with a distinct photographic lighting style that sets his work apart.
By 2014, he had transitioned into full-time video work. In 2018, his career gained significant momentum when WeWork—then a rapidly scaling Fortune 500 company—contracted his newly established video production company to handle branded and internal content during its major expansion phase. Through this partnership, he delivered polished, on-brand content across cities and teams, helping shape the visual voice of one of the decade’s fastest-growing companies.
In 2018, he officially launched his own music video production company, where he served as director, editor, and visual designer on a number of music videos for both independent and major-label artists. His portfolio includes work with Grammy-winning musicians, high-profile creatives, and productions for large-scale events, including a Red Bull-backed event in San Diego and live shows with audiences exceeding several thousand attendees.
In pursuit of creative excellence with business intelligence, he returned to school in 2022 to earn his Master’s degree in Financial Accounting from the University of Michigan. This education gave him not only the ability to manage the operational side of a creative business, but also the strategic insight to help brands align their content with real-world performance metrics.
Today, he specializes in long form Youtube and short-form vertical video content—Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, TikToks, and social-first promos designed to capture attention in under three seconds. His edits are fast, clean, emotionally resonant, and intentionally structured to perform across platforms.
He works with a wide range of clients—from solo creators and coaches to brands, musicians, and event producers—helping them clarify their message, elevate their content, and engage their audience with precision.
What sets him apart isn’t just technical skill—it’s the fusion of cinematographer’s eye, editor’s pace, and strategist’s mind. Whether it’s a 15-second clip or a 60-second sequence, he brings lighting, rhythm, and storytelling together in a way that gets people to stop scrolling and start paying attention.
If you're looking for a creative partner who understands both the art and the architecture of impactful content, he’s the one you want behind the edit.
