Creative Studio and Production House
We help our clients shape a better world through storydoing.
You
You represent an international development agency, enterprise, brand, production company, or creative team. You seek a partner to produce stories for effective regional, national, and international campaigns. And, you want an agile team able to design, produce, and deliver visual products that faithfully represent your mission and emotionally connect with your audience—wherever they may be.
Us
We are a culturally diverse, multilingual band of creative professionals based in cost-efficient operations hubs worldwide. We tell the story of the good that you do. We've tracked orcas in Antarctica and kayaked to the Arctic Circle. We've bicycled from Alaska to Argentina and run across the Andes. We are adventurers and storytellers who bring focus, efficiency, and feeling to everything we produce.

The Birders Documentary Film: A Video Case Study
The Birders, directed by our founder Gregg Bleakney and produced, edited, and distributed by WhereNext, is a documentary film series about Colombian bird diversity and birdwatching. The Colombian Ministry of Tourism (ProColombia) and Sancho BBDO selected our agency to produce this campaign through a tender process. In winning this bid, a mixed private and public sector selection committee unanimously awarded the contract to WhereNext over every major production and creative studio, both national and international, with offices in Colombia.
With over three million views and a record-breaking 30 + million social media likes and shares, the films have established the country as the number one birding destination on the planet.
Backpacker Magazine Video Case Study
WhereNext produced Backpacker Magazine's 2017 Gear of the Year feature in the backyard of our Bogotá video production studio. We crafted a week-long event package that brought the publication’s team down to Colombia for a trip through the Páramo de Ocetá high-elevation moorlands, including transportation, logistical, and creative production services.
In addition to curating a custom itinerary, the WhereNext photography and visual storytelling pros created a host of creative assets for the Backpacker Magazine crew. Our photo and video content supported two feature-length magazine stories in print and web and was also used for product imagery and trade show exhibition displays.
Read Our Origin Story
“Agile marketing is something other agencies like to say they understand and provide, but they continue to be stuck in old models and processes that slow brands down. What makes WhereNext stand out is their agility. They are creative multimedia storytellers who value partnership, collaboration, and executional excellence at speed, and they’re fully committed to not letting you down. And so far, they’ve done all that for us across four different countries in just 90 days.”
