Thanks for stopping by!

My name is Justin Kroger- I am a 34-year-old content creator/marketing specialist living in Los Angeles. My passions are shooting, editing, coloring film, story-telling, marketing, and music.

I started my professional career 19 years ago as a commercial editor/videographer. Since the inception of social media, I have redirected my skill set to help companies find and communicate with pre-qualified (potentially interested) consumers, through creating cinema quality media for targeted/sponsored marketing. I do the market research to figure out who is most likely to be interested in listening to what your company offers/has to say; from there, I create high quality media and a marketing plan to reach your specific audience for optimal engagement/fan acquisition and conversion.

In short, I find your audience- help shape your story/voice, and then begin conversations with the people that are most likely to listen and engage back with you!

I am a powerful asset to any company looking to increase consumer engagement, sales, brand recognition or create cinema quality visuals, no matter the budget. Something that sets me apart from others in the marketing field is that I come from an actual hands on technical production background. I understand the nuances and techniques that it takes to create, implement and lead complex productions and marketing ventures. From concept to completion, I can tell you how much our idea will cost, how many people it will take to pull it off, and exactly who else we need to hire to get the job done in the most time and cost efficient way.

Some of my technical skills include:

Directing, shooting, editing, compositing, and color grading in the highest quality digital cinema formats (such as Red R3D, DNG raw, Arri Raw etc)... After Effects/Mocha- rotoscoping, motion tracking, 3D title/motion graphics animation, Feature Film Color Grading with Davinci Resolve, on set audio engineering, Director of Photography, DIT, ENG Live Truck Operator, News copy writer, and more!

Early Years - How I Got Here

I was lucky enough to know what I wanted to do from a young age, so I became home schooled at the age of 14 and started working full time in production studios. Alongside my passion for shooting, editing and compositing visual effects, I have also written full-time for news and television.

My most recent full-time employment has included Associated Television International (Colorist/Editor), ABC News (Editor/Photographer/Live Truck Engineer) and Fox News (Editor/Producer), as well as numerous projects from Rachael Ray's Tasty Travels on The Food Network, and national advertisements with Bruster's Ice Cream, Snickers, The History Channel, Almond Breeze, Blue Diamond Almonds, Quiz-Up, Bonga Foods, Kshop, Under 100, Treasure, SlimFast etc... as well as weddings, music videos and social media marketing campaigns for high profile artists/musicians (+1,000,000 views). In addition to being an end user, I have also taught corporate training with Adobe CC and Final Cut Pro.

I am NPPA (National Press Photographers Association) trained and certified and a 6 time Associated Press award winning photographer/editor with a passion for storytelling.

Notably, I attend The University Of Central Arkansas for film making/Mass Communications. If you would rather me work off site, I own all the equipment necessary to produce cinema quality videos. I am diligent and easy to work with and would love the chance to meet with you! If I sound like someone that might fit what you are looking for, I ask that you take a look at my website/digital portfolio and send me an email!

I look forward to creating together!

Sincerely,

Justin Michael Kroger
