Our Journey: From Vision to Reality
Aurora Visuals was founded in 2015 by Amelia Hayes and Jackson Bennett, two Seattle-based filmmakers with a shared passion for visual storytelling. Recognizing a need for high-quality video production services that cater to the unique needs of businesses and organizations in the Pacific Northwest, Amelia and Jackson set out to create a studio that combines creativity, technical expertise, and a client-centric approach.
From humble beginnings in a small downtown Seattle office space, Aurora Visuals has grown into a thriving video production company with a dedicated team of experienced professionals. We have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, from tech startups and established corporations to non-profit organizations and creative agencies. Our commitment to excellence, innovation, and customer satisfaction has earned us a reputation as a trusted partner for video production in Seattle and beyond.
Our mission is simple: to empower our clients with compelling visual content that drives results. We believe that every brand has a unique story to tell, and we are passionate about crafting videos that resonate with audiences, elevate brands, and achieve strategic objectives. Whether it's a corporate video, a commercial advertisement, an event highlight reel, or an animated explainer, we approach every project with creativity, attention to detail, and a commitment to exceeding expectations.
Located in the vibrant South Lake Union neighborhood, Aurora Visuals is deeply rooted in the Seattle community. We are proud to support local businesses and organizations, and we are committed to contributing to the growth and success of our city. Our team regularly participates in industry events, workshops, and community initiatives, staying at the forefront of video production trends and technologies. We believe in giving back to the community that has supported us, and we actively seek opportunities to use our skills and resources to make a positive impact.
