Helping those who do good, look good.

Hi! We’re Octavus Media.

We’re a creative agency that partners with nonprofits, educators, and growing brands to promote their work through strategic media and design.

You have important work to do, and your communications should help that work reach the people it’s meant to serve. Our approach is rooted in clarity, collaboration, and ethical storytelling that honors the stories of your clients.

  • Brand Design

    We build brand systems that help organizations look cohesive, credible, and memorable across every touchpoint. Whether you’re refreshing your identity or launching something new, we create visuals that support clarity and recognition.

  • Videography

    Ethical storytelling is at the heart of everything we do. We produce story-driven video that helps people understand your work on a deeper level. From testimonials to brand films, our videos turn real moments into compelling tools for engagement and support.

  • Photography

    We capture authentic photography that reflects your people, programs, and impact with care. Strong imagery helps your organization feel more human, more trustworthy, and more connected to the communities you serve.

From our clients

  • "Working with Octavus Media has been one of the best decisions we’ve made. They’ve become a true partner in telling our story. Their subscription/retainer model gives us dependable access to creative support without surprises, which is priceless for a small nonprofit like the Oregon Cancer Foundation. They consistently deliver high-quality work — our print newsletter, event collateral, campaign branding — everything looks polished, cohesive, and on-mission. On top of that, their photography, video, and website services have allowed us to raise the bar across all our communications."

    Amy J. | Oregon Cancer Foundation

  • "Donors were in tears watching the stories in the videos" "Our staff and board loved the videos. Our donors at the event mentioned that they were in tears watching the stories in the videos. We wanted to raise $100,000 at our annual gala. These videos are meant to drive an emotional connection between our donors and our work, and encourage them to donate to our organization. We ended up raising $120,670 at our event!"

    Miriam V. | Unidos Bridging Community

  • "We had an amazing experience working with Octavus Media. Their storytelling expertise using various media is top notch. As a result we have significantly increased our visibility and fundraising to support our mission. I highly recommend Octavus Media."

Our Process

DISCOVERY

No two businesses are alike, and we don’t believe in templates. We start by getting to know you; your mission, your audience, your goals, and the story only your organization can tell.

PREPRODUCTION

We build a clear roadmap so every creative decision is intentional, every timeline is realistic, and your team knows exactly what to expect.

PRODUCTIOn

During the production phase, we’ll bring all our collective ideas to life! We’ll start rolling cameras, sketching designs, taking photos…whatever your organization needs!

Revision & delivery

Each project is a collaboration. We work closely with your team to fine-tune every detail, because the final touches are what turn good work into great work.

We’re always looking for new friends and partnerships. We'd love to hear about your organization, your goals, and the stories you're trying to tell.

Drop us a line at hello@octavusmedia.com and let’s make something great!
