College of Charleston

The College of Charleston wanted a bold, different approach—a commercial that didn’t just showcase the school, but truly captured its energy, culture, and connection to the city. From the start, we focused on a fresh, dynamic concept, leading the process from pitching ideas to scriptwriting and casting over 30 real students to ensure authenticity.

"Working with Vive Media has been a game-changer for CofC. Their consistent delivery of a high-quality experience exceeds our expectations every time. They are quite simply an invaluable partner to help tell our stories."

African American Heritage Stories

As part of Explore Charleston’s Explore Black Charleston initiative, we crafted a seven-film series that amplifies powerful African American heritage stories across the Lowcountry. From the historic grounds of McLeod Plantation and Boone Hall to the groundbreaking exhibits at the International African American Museum, our journey took us deep into the past—unearthing narratives that shaped the present.

"We completely trust Vive Media to run with our initial vision and tie in their own creativity and talent to produce unique, high-quality content that highlights the Charleston area in an amazing light."

Kiawah River

Our collaboration with Kiawah River began in 2018 with a bold challenge—capturing the essence of a community that had yet to be built. From the very first shoot, we set the tone for compelling storytelling, bringing the vision to life through dynamic footage of fly fishing, a Lowcountry boil, kayaking, crabbing, shrimping, birding, and more.

"Kiawah River has enjoyed Matt Coda and team knocking it out of the park since 2018. Drone-a-rang shot of a car driving the Ashley River Bridge to the Charleston skyline in one take, fly fishing in a storm with a double rainbow, chest waders near alligators, 14-hour days, killer direction and post-production every time. Love y’all."

We treat destination marketing as a sensory experience. Whether we are partnering with municipal tourism boards to shoot short-form social content or filming multi-minute cinematic stories for boutique resorts, our focus is on capturing the unique rhythm, local talent, and authentic travel itineraries that define a location.
