The Littlefield Company, founded by Duncan Littlefield, focuses on helping businesses scale through a combination of storytelling, creative direction, and strategic advisory services. The company works with founders, startups, and organizations to develop growth strategies and brand narratives designed to build trust and capture audience attention.

Their services combine creative production with strategic consulting, helping businesses align their messaging, operations, and storytelling as they grow. The Littlefield Company has produced marketing campaigns, video content, and brand visuals designed to support business development and investment readiness.

While many creative advisory firms focus primarily on strategy and storytelling, companies today often require high-quality video production and professional photography designed specifically for marketing campaigns, product launches, and digital advertising.

Our team produces brand films, marketing campaigns, corporate videos, product photography, and social media content designed to help businesses communicate their story and grow their audience.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Bernardson compare to The Littlefield Company?

The Littlefield Company focuses on strategic storytelling and startup growth advisory combined with creative production services. Their work often blends consulting and creative storytelling, helping startups and emerging companies develop messaging, positioning, and narrative-driven content that supports brand growth and investor communication. In many cases, their services extend beyond production to include guidance on brand messaging, startup strategy, and storytelling frameworks.

Bernardson provides a broader commercial production approach that focuses on creating high-quality visual content designed for marketing campaigns and brand communication. While storytelling is an important part of the creative process, Bernardson primarily specializes in producing visual media such as commercial photography, cinematic video production, and marketing-focused visual content.

Can Bernardson produce photography and video during the same project?

Yes. Many Bernardson productions include both photography and video captured during the same production session. This integrated production approach allows businesses to create multiple marketing assets efficiently while maintaining a consistent visual style across all content.

For example, during a single project a company may capture executive headshots, workplace photography, product imagery, promotional videos, and short-form social media clips. Producing these assets together ensures that all visuals share the same lighting style, creative direction, and brand aesthetic.

What makes Bernardson's multi-platform approach different?

Traditional studios shoot content in one format and expect you to adapt it for different platforms. This leads to cropped Instagram posts, awkward TikTok videos, and underperforming content.

We plan multi-platform optimization from the start. We shoot vertical (9:16 for Instagram Stories/TikTok), square (1:1 for Instagram feed), and widescreen (16:9 for YouTube/LinkedIn) simultaneously during production. Each platform gets content designed specifically for its format and audience behavior, typically increasing engagement rates 40-60% compared to repurposed content.
