What sets Playfish Media apart? We’re not just here to make a video—we’re here to build a lasting relationship. We’re a full-service production company that handles everything in-house: scriptwriting, casting, drone, animation, story development, and more. We’ve worked with clients across industries, and we bring the same level of care and collaboration to every project we take on.
Since 2011
Playfish Media was founded by owner & producer/director Jillian Suleski with her film school colleague-turned-film-editor Nick Nelson. Suleski, Nelson, and the full Playfish Media team combine years of freelance experience and more than ten years in business into a special sauce of superior client care, enthusiastic creativity, and a straightforward attitude about getting things done right.
As a woman-owned company, Playfish Media believes diversity fuels creativity. We value differing approaches and points of view and are consciously building a culture that celebrates our employees’ unique perspectives and voices.
