Videography & Video Production for Northern Plains Businesses

Promotional video, drone footage, event coverage, and social media content — produced locally, delivered fast, built to work across every platform.

Video That Shows What Your Business Can Do

Thompson Media Company was built on video production. Before we expanded into full-service marketing, Richard and Emily Thompson were doing drone and video work across the Bakken — capturing the scale and scope of energy operations, construction sites, and businesses that needed to show what they do, not just describe it. That foundation is still at the core of our video work today.

We produce video content for businesses that need to tell their story across a website homepage, a social media feed, a trade show presentation, and a YouTube channel — all from a single production investment. When your video content is planned with distribution in mind from the start, every hour of production time produces more usable content across more platforms.

We work across six states with the full range of production capabilities — ground cameras, FAA-certified drone footage, professional lighting, and a post-production workflow that delivers polished, branded video on the timeline you need.
