About
Experts estimate that most Americans are exposed to around 5,000 ads each day - but only remember about 10. Why? The human brain cannot absorb and digest that much information.In our fast-paced world, where content is viewed and forgotten several times daily, we know what it takes to create memorable content that stands above the rest - and we would love to help you reach your viewers at a deep and lasting level through visual storytelling.Producing content is one thing - and many people are doing that. But, producing intentional content that meaningfully connects to your tribe is another.The Meraki Agency is an award-winning media agency started by two friends with extensive backgrounds in filmmaking and storytelling. We decided to leave our jobs to let us do what keeps us waking up every morning - helping your organization tell better stories and connecting you more meaningfully to your audience.

Brandon Hendricks is a native Washingtonian who is a professional filmmaker and creative storyteller. Regardless of the project thrown at him, Brandon strives to approach each project with a unique perspective and a disciplined work ethic. Having studied at the Los Angeles Film School, he weaves his passion and his talent together to create content that captives all audiences.
