Elevation

Elevation is an Atlanta-based multidisciplinary creative studio working across brand strategy, broadcast design, animation, editorial and experiential production. Founded in 1996, it began as a visual effects and post-production boutique before expanding into conceptual brand design, motion graphics and large-format event content. Its work serves television networks, entertainment marketers, corporate events and consumer brands.

The studio develops creative concepts and visual identities, then translates them into motion systems, broadcast packages and content for screens and live environments. Its capabilities include 2D and 3D animation, character animation, creative editorial, sound design, cinematography and VFX supervision. For television clients, its deliverables include styleframes, animated assets, motion toolkits and on-air identity packages that support network launches, rebrands and individual programmes.

Broadcast and entertainment

Elevation’s television portfolio includes the launch design that transformed Newsy into Scripps News, Antenna TV’s tenth-anniversary network rebrand and the original identity for Rewind TV. Its Rewind TV package drew on the visual language of the 1980s and 1990s, including VHS-inspired graphics. The studio also developed a comprehensive relaunch graphics package and toolkit for Court TV.

Programme-specific work includes broadcast graphics for season 22 of Fox’s Hell’s Kitchen and identity, animated assets and in-game graphics for Nickelodeon and CBS Sports’ NFL Wild Card Playoff broadcast. Other projects include an animated ABC and Toyota integration for the Modern Family finale and animated comic-art sequences for CNN and DC Comics’ DC FanDome.

Experiences and original storytelling

Beyond television, Elevation creates experiential graphics, projection mapping and stage content for corporate launches, conferences and industry events. Its portfolio includes work for BMW, Cox Enterprises, TEDx Atlanta and the Promax awards, alongside exhibition media for World of Coca-Cola’s Stories from the Vault.

The studio also produces original animation, including The Search, a short film honouring Alzheimer’s caregivers for National Family Caregivers Month. Elevation now operates as a fully virtual creative company managed from Atlanta.
