Who We Are

Magelssen Media is a small, independent creative studio led by Sarah and Nils Magelssen. We work directly with organizations of all sizes, from nonprofits and growing businesses to global companies, on projects spanning strategy, design, web and video.

We bring decades of experience to our work while continually exploring new tools and technologies, including AI. We put them to work where they’re genuinely useful, whether that means improving how we work or helping our clients navigate a changing digital landscape. The tools change. Good judgment still matters.

WHY MAGELSSEN MEDIA

Good Work Starts with Understanding the Problem

Our clients often know their subject extraordinarily well. What they don’t always know is how to turn that knowledge into a website, presentation, video, visual system or message that makes sense to everyone else.

That’s where we come in. We ask questions, learn the subject, find the story and determine what needs to be made. Then we have the experience to make it.

We Learn Your World

We work comfortably with specialized subjects, technical teams and organizations where the learning curve can be steep. You don’t have to translate everything into creative speak before bringing us in.

Start Where You Are

Some projects arrive with a clear brief. Others begin with a problem, an idea or a conversation. We can step in at any stage, help define what’s needed and figure out the right way forward as the project begins to take shape.

Small by Design

You work directly with us, not through layers of account management. The people you talk to are the people doing the work, so nothing gets lost in handoffs. You get experienced, senior-level attention from start to finish.
