— The crew

We already speak the language.

Built on western Canada job sites. We know what a tailgate meeting is, why the safety officer needs to clear our drone before takeoff, and how to work around a swing shift. We arrive ready. We leave with the shots you need.

— Who we are

A studio built for the field.

Plus15 Media is a Calgary-based creative studio for western Canada's industrial sector. We make the video, aerial, photography, brand, websites and case studies that operators in construction, energy and resources, rail and transportation, and agriculture use to win work, onboard crews, and put their projects on the record.

Most agencies don't show up on site with the right PPE. We do. Our crew holds CSTS, WHMIS, First Aid and Transport Canada Advanced Operations pilot certificates, and we're members of the Alberta Construction Safety Association and the Calgary Construction Association. Our SECOR is in progress.

We've worked at active well sites, hospital builds, pipeline tie-ins, aggregate quarries, and equipment yards across Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan.

We're small on purpose. 4 people, fast decisions, and the founder on every project. If you've ever had a creative agency hand you off after the kickoff call, you'll notice the difference.
