About Advent Media, Inc. Columbus, Ohio

Our story is telling your stories.

Advent Media, Inc. is a family owned and operated small business, headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. Since we incorporated in 1982, we've been creating and producing media for clients nationwide; helping them share their stories and engage their audiences in new and exciting ways.

We got our start creating and presenting large-screen high-definition "multi-image" slide shows. Then, as the technology moved to digital, we continued to hone our craft all the while embracing modern media methods including presentation design, video production, and Website design and development.

As a result we've completed over 500 projects across a wide variety of disciplines for hundreds of clients across the United States and have recieved multiple awards for projects we produced and entered in an international short-film competition.

Today, we continue to tell our clients' stories based on our many years of experience. "We have your story to tell."
