Where We Go
Central Minnesota's Video-First Creative Agency
Switchboard is based in St. Cloud, MN, and produces video first — campaign films, recruiting videos, customer testimonials, and brand stories — for organizations across Central Minnesota and the Twin Cities metro, typically within about a 90-mile radius of our studio. Photography, brand identity, and web design back up every video we make.
The Cities We Work In
We're based in St. Cloud, and most of our work happens within about a 90-mile drive of the studio — close enough to be on-site when it matters, without a Twin Cities price tag.
Video Is What We Lead With
Campaign films. Recruiting videos. Customer testimonials. Founder and origin stories. Expert series. Event recaps. Video is the thing Central Minnesota organizations hire us for first — and the thing we're built to do best.
Everything a Great Video Needs, Under One Roof
Most of what makes a video work starts before the camera rolls: a brand that photographs well, messaging with a clear point, a website that can actually host the work. We build all of that in-house too — photography, brand identity, and web design — so nothing gets lost between vendors.
Every Video Starts With Strategy
Before we shoot a single frame, we set the strategy — the creative direction, the goal the video needs to hit, and the specific success metrics we agree on with you up front. For brands that want to go deeper, we also offer BrandCamp as a standalone engagement: an in-studio workshop built on the StoryBrand framework that produces a full Brandscript you can put to work well beyond this one video.

Common Questions
Q: Does Switchboard only work in St. Cloud?
A: No. St. Cloud is home, but we regularly work throughout Central Minnesota and the Twin Cities metro — typically within about 90 miles of the studio, including Sartell, Sauk Rapids, Waite Park, Monticello, Brainerd, Little Falls, and Elk River.
Q: Do I need to be based near St. Cloud to work with Switchboard?
A: No. Most production happens on location wherever you are within our service area; planning and post-production happen at our St. Cloud studio.
Q: Does Switchboard only make videos, or other creative work too?
A: Video is what we lead with, but photography, brand identity, and web design are built in-house too, so your video, brand, and website all work together instead of coming from separate vendors.
Q: Do I have to do a BrandCamp workshop before Switchboard can make my video?
A: No. Every video starts with a strategy conversation and clear success metrics, handled as part of the project. BrandCamp is available separately, as a standalone in-studio workshop, for brands that want a deeper messaging framework.
Ready When You Are
We're not a one-and-done vendor. Switchboard partners with organizations across Central Minnesota and the Twin Cities metro for the long game — video, brand, and web working together to move people and move business, project after project.
