How it Started​​​​​
I started Viminal Media in 2021 while studying at UCSB. I noticed a lack of commercial content that centered around genuine people and the stories involved. For the first year, I reached out to hundreds of small businesses across California before securing our first partners.
After a slow start, our persistence paid off. We now have an exceptional creative team that delivers stunning videos and photos, manage and optimize social media accounts, and create successful advertising campaigns. Our team has worked with brands in over 5 countries and 12 different states. We remain true to our core values that center around authentic storytelling. Share your story with us and we will get it to the right people for you!​​​
