About Visionary Media Group

Our Story

Visionary Media Group began its journey in the vibrant artistic community of Asheville, North Carolina. Founded in 2010 by Eleanor Vance, a seasoned filmmaker with a deep-seated passion for visual storytelling, the company initially set out as a small, agile team focused on crafting high-quality video content for local businesses and non-profit organizations. Eleanor's vision was to empower businesses and organizations by helping them connect with their audiences on a deeper, more meaningful level through the power of compelling visuals.

In the early days, Visionary Media Group specialized in corporate videos and short documentaries, quickly establishing a reputation for creativity, professionalism, and a meticulous attention to detail. Word-of-mouth referrals led to a steady stream of new clients, and the company soon expanded its services to include animation and graphic design. Over time, the team grew, bringing together talented animators, designers, and marketers who shared Eleanor's commitment to excellence and innovation.

As the digital landscape evolved, Visionary Media Group adapted and embraced new technologies and trends. They invested in state-of-the-art equipment and software, allowing them to produce cutting-edge visual content for a wide range of platforms, including television, web, and social media. Their commitment to staying ahead of the curve enabled them to offer clients comprehensive solutions that met their specific needs and goals.

Today, Visionary Media Group is a leading media studio serving clients across diverse industries, including healthcare, technology, education, and non-profits. They are proud of their Asheville roots and remain committed to giving back to the community through pro bono work and partnerships with local organizations. The studio is now located in a spacious, modern facility at 42 Oak Street, Suite 200, Asheville, NC 28801, a testament to their growth and success. The company continues to be guided by Eleanor's vision, striving to create visual stories that inform, inspire, and impact the world.
