About us

Made in Portland, Oregon.

Who are we?

We're a podcast and video production studio founded in Portland in 2017. We build long-term production partnerships with mission-driven organizations and enterprise brands that want to connect with their audiences through content that means something.

We're small by design: the people you meet at the start are the people producing your show, and every show gets our full attention. Our clients don't come to us for a single season: the average Puddle partnership runs for 4+ years.

How do we think about this work?

  • Long-term over transactional.

    We don't hand off a finished season and wish you luck. The shows we're most proud of are the ones we've built alongside our clients over years. That relationship is the product.

  • Quality that compounds.

    A show that earns 4.7-star ratings and 85% completion rates doesn't happen by accident. It happens because every production decision (format, pacing, guest selection, sound design) is made with the audience in mind, every time.

  • Mission matters to us too.

    We're Conservation Alliance members. We work with mission-driven organizations not only because they're good clients, but because we share the belief that stories can change how people think about the world.

Who's on the team?

A distributed team of producers, engineers and storytellers. Small enough to give every show real attention, experienced enough to have done this for the world's most recognized brands.

Community

We're members of the Conservation Alliance and The Bureau (formerly Bureau of Digital).
