Why “36 Arms”?
Before founding 36 Arms, Josh spent years inside the biggest ad agencies in Seattle, including Publicis and DDB. As a producer, he saw what worked for clients and, more importantly, what didn’t. Slow turnaround times, bloated staff, and countless billable hours all that wasted time and money.
That’s why he started 36 Arms over a decade ago, and it’s why 36 Arms is still run with a startup mentality. The goal is, and always will be to make videos that solve business problems without costly markups. Our team is tried and tested. We’re not sentimental. We’re not here for our egos. We’re here to make your life easier.
Every project is staffed from a trusted network of Seattle directors, camera operators, editors, and crew, scaled to fit the job. A one-day interview shoot gets a tight team. A national campaign gets every arm it needs. Nobody gets paid to stand around holding coffee.
What that looks like in real life
20 years producing and editing for brands like Amazon, AWS, Microsoft, Brooks Running, the Seattle Kraken, Holland America Line, Ziply Fiber, Optum, Premera Blue Cross, T-Mobile, The Space Needle and PCC
Productions ranging from a single interview to multi-city series across two continents
Hundreds of remote interviews recorded so distance isn’t a deal breaker
Based in Edmonds, serving Seattle and the Pacific Northwest, and ready to go where you need us
The short version
Everyone else in this business will tell you how great they are at telling your “story”. That’s the bare minimum in video production. We’re here to make you look good.
