OUR VISION

We are a Halifax-based storytelling company. We uncover, produce and share artful and authentic stories using video, photography, original music and writing.

We believe in the ability of a well-told story to evoke emotion, power decisions and drive change. This passion is at the heart of every project we undertake.

At Clothesline Media, we build relationships through trust and respect. We cut through the clutter. Our values and beliefs drive our decisions and guide our interactions with not only our clientele but also with our collaborators and with the community in which we live.

Our dedication to working authentically and with integrity is forged out of our vast experiences from every corner of the earth. Empathy drives our decisions and compassion empowers our work. We believe in standing up for what’s right, fair and just and we give voice to the people others overlook.

We check our egos at the door. As a result, we thrive in a positive, collaborative atmosphere that welcomes diverse professionals and invites everyone to contribute their best.

We demand the best work and the best results. Just good enough is never good enough. We only deliver work that we are proud to have our name on.
