About company
The Refinery

We’re a team of 100+ sharp-minded, passionate, kind and fun creatives. We started nearly 20 years ago in a living room, and we’re proud that many of our talented teammates have been together for most of that journey.

Everyone loves entertainment. We live it. We’re visual identity experts, creating key art, social and digital campaigns for every major film studio, streaming platform and network, as well as some of the world’s leading brands.

Our clients trust us because we get it. We know how to elevate a story, and how to sell it. We know what looks good and what works. That comes from experience and constant refinement (see what we did there?!).

We are curious by nature and continuously question, explore and imagine what else could be. Fresh ideas? We’ve got ‘em. Want another round? Let’s go. No ego. No drama. Just smart, passionate people solving problems, making great work, and having fun doing it.

We strive for diverse thinking because broader perspectives strengthen our values, our culture, and our creativity. We build teams that reflect the clients and audiences we serve.

We also live our values. Every year, we donate 5% of profits to support causes in our local communities. It’s our way of paying it forward and staying connected to something bigger than us.
