ABOUT
BUILT BY A STORYTELLER.
RUN BY A
BUILDER.
Old State Works was built from both sides of the story — decades spent creating television and branded content, and years spent building businesses, places and ideas from the ground up.
HOSTING • PRODUCTION • DESIGN + BUILD
SOME STORIES ARE TOLD.
OTHERS ARE BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE.
Old State Works has always been drawn to possibility — in people, brands, buildings and places that deserve another look.
From national television and branded content to hospitality, historic spaces and destination development, the common thread is finding what’s worth noticing — and giving other people a reason to notice it too.
Good bones help. So does a good story.
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY
THEN WE BECAME
THE CLIENT.
Building businesses changed the way we think about media. When it’s your own investment, your own payroll and your own name on the door, the story has to do more than look good. It has to move people.
BUILT FROM SCRATCH
Hospitality • retail • experiences • media
That changes how we approach the work.
BUILT TO DRAW PEOPLE IN
Brand • design • storytelling • destination development
WE DON’T JUST ADVISE
BUSINESSES ON HOW
TO GET ATTENTION.
WE BUILD THEM.
BUILT IN A SMALL TOWN
Where attention isn’t guaranteed — you have to give people a reason to come.
YEARS BEHIND THE CAMERA.
YEARS IN FRONT OF IT.
NOW, BOTH.
TELEVISION + PRODUCTION

THE WORK STARTED IN TELEVISION.
IT DIDN'T STAY THERE.
Years spent producing, hosting and creating television taught us how to find the story, earn attention and make an idea work on screen.
Then came branded content, entrepreneurship, hospitality, design and development — where the audience became the customer and the story had to work in the real world, too.
BRANDS + BUILDING
Branded content • hospitality • retail • destination development
IDEAS + ORIGINALS

RENEWAL.
RENEWAL DOESN’T
LOOK THE SAME
ON EVERYONE.
WHO SAYS YOU ONLY GET ONE LIFE?
We’ve lived a few already. And we keep meeting people who have, too.
