Mills James is one of the region’s largest and most comprehensive creative media companies. We are EMPLOYEE OWNED and CLIENT FOCUSED with a diverse team of 150 gifted people—all master storytellers in their particular crafts.

Here, you’ll find a rare and unique combination of talent and technology that can produce great creative and great results, harnessing imagination, skill and passion to tell a powerful story—YOUR STORY.

Every organization has a story to tell, and how that story is told is a key factor in the organization’s success.

The purpose of any good story is to GET RESULTS. To inspire. To motivate. To educate. But you’ll never achieve your goals unless you can first get the attention of your audience—an audience bombarded with messages every day, in every way.

In an era of constant distractions, how do you cut through the clutter? How do you hold and engage your audience? How do you make your story memorable?

Stories must be crafted to meet the special qualities, knowledge, emotions and predilections of your audience. Good storytelling requires imagination, craft and experience—and the right message in the right medium.

At Mills James, we come from a wide variety of disciplines—television, video, interactive and Web-based media, theater and the audiovisual and live event staging industry—but we all share a common background…

We are storytellers. 21st Century storytellers. People whose job it is to put magic in the message using today’s creative media as a catalyst for change and to move an audience to action.

Our staff consists of designers, writers, directors, corporate event producers, Web developers, videographers, editors, composers, technicians, lighting and sound experts and more. Our job is to tell your story in the most compelling manner possible, and to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.

After 25 years in business, we’ve helped hundreds of clients, large and small, providing solutions to communication challenges for both internal and external audiences. We’d love the opportunity to demonstrate how we can put that experience to work for you.

At Mills James, we are dedicated to the art and science of modern storytelling.

We are honest, fair and considerate in our relationships with our clients and with each other.

We promote a stimulating environment where talent, passion, innovation and craft are recognized and rewarded, and associates are encouraged to be creative and to have fun.

We believe in the power of ideas to produce results, and we are committed to bringing imagination, value and unsurpassed service to every client project.
