With the right people, anything is possible...

Our passion and commitment to the quality of our work paired with our boundless imagination is what creates our salient and differentiating edge. Were not here to just do the work; were here to tell your story in a way that has, quite literally, never been told before.

How do we do it, you ask? By pushing limits, questioning the already-existing, and inspiring the world around us in impactful, made-you-look kind of ways. Weave in a feverish zest for simply creating, and you have yourself a team of artists and strategists who are driven to rethink, reshape, and redefine.

Were a proud woman-and minority-owned business that thrives on changing the narrative through the power of design. And, with you on board, were doing it together.

Outright offers a wide range of video services from the small - such as short pre-roll ads, social media stories and in-feed video content - to larger productions. In addition to production work, our team is also adept at pre-production, creating engaging scripts and storyboards, as well as post-production editing, music composition, voiceover coordination and recording, sound mixing and design, animation, and motion design. View video examples here: https://www.weareoutright.com/video/    

In addition to our talented motion graphics and design team, Outright also works with clients to develop in-depth brand strategies, marketing strategies, marketing and advertising campaign implementation and management, and much more. We have extensive experience in placing and managing ads across social media platforms, programmatic display and video spots, as well as coordinating media buys with podcasters, influencers, broadcast TV and radio, and more.

While our office is in the Washington, DC area, we work with clients based across the country.

    Website Redesign and Launch
    Project Type: Web Design
    Review Date: 1 November, 2022
    I am so glad we worked with Outright for our website redesign and launch. The Outright team is a pleasure to work with -- thorough, responsive, and patient with the learning curves on our end, and a true thought partner, offering helpful guidance every step, from website functions to aesthetics. The team provided excellent support for our launch. As a nonprofit handling highly sensitive work, we had complete trust in them. We love the finished product, and our audiences do, too!
