Midwest Roots.

Spirited Shoots.

The story of Digital Alliance is built on a foundation of hard work and friendship. In 2011, co-founders Dylan, Andrew, and Kenneth met in college in Indiana, where personal and creative synergies led to big dreams and aspirations. Dylan’s marketing background, combined with Andrew and Kenneth’s filmmaking and family business upbringings forged a unique alliance of storytelling vision and business know-how.

We saw an opportunity to bridge the gap between the emerging opportunities in the advertainment space and the people of America’s heartland. Our directors aspire to tell authentic stories that stand the test of time, rather than just highlight the next hashtag of the week. Call us ‘old-fashioned’, but we are looking to create a lasting connection with the viewer, as well as with our clients and crews.

Speaking of crews, we assemble multi-disciplinary teams with the same care we craft our stories. Every project is unique, and we can scale our creative and logistical approach to that of your campaign goals. From pre-production through post, Digital Alliance can be your go-to creative partner.

OUR MISSION

The mission of Digital Alliance is to tell the stories of the organizations that reinforce the backbone of America, the products and services they provide, and the working-class heroes that work within.

OUR STORY

The Co-Founders of Digital Alliance met in 2011 as fellow filmmakers in college at Ball State University. Kenneth Stevenson and Andrew Bennett came from a video production background, while Dylan Pieri came from marketing and advertising. After graduation, they decided to form a company to continue their love of storytelling.

Digital Alliance started as a full-service marketing firm in the Chicago Suburbs, offering video production, photography, graphic design and web design. While the group's skills allowed them to provide all of these services, the company honed in on video production and photography in 2015. However, the "agency" mindset and the creative aspects that come with it have stayed with the team over the years.

The DA team started in industrial & manufacturing but has since expanded to serve over 35 different industries in the United States, traveling to over 25 different states for production.

We look forward to being an extension of your marketing team. Let's get to work!

The team handled conversations calmly which kept conversations streamlined. I love working with Digital Alliance and would love to do so again! ”

“The staff and crew are professional all around. From the first call with Andrew, to the pre-production calls with Dylan, our project was approached with a high level of confidence and creativity. The film crew kept on task and provided great knowledge of what needed to be done while efficiently managing their cameras and maintaining a very friendly and easy atmosphere with everyone. We had a couple impromptu moments and changes and those requests were met with smiles and no hesitation. Working with your crew was one of the most fulfilling and enjoyable creative collaborations I have ever experienced.”

Sheri Potter

Marketing Manager, Warrenville Parks District

We will definitely work with them again in the future!”

Dylan Pieri

Executive Producer | Co-Founder

Dylan Pieri is the Executive Producer for Digital Alliance Productions. His love of filmmaking was evident form an early age, and once he caught “the bug”, he went on a quest to find out where his talents were best used. He has always stood by this mantra: “If you really want to understand how something works, you have to get your hands dirty and learn on the job.” So, while studying Public Relations and Marketing in college, he got to work.

After crewing, writing, acting and Directing in some short films, Dylan served as a publicist on an independent feature film that received international distribution. He went on to serve as a casting producer on film/tv shows and commercial work, location scout and location manager on additional film/tv projects and a film accountant for a TV pilot.

After learning virtually every part of the production process, it was abundantly clear that he was destined to serve as a Producer so that he could leave his mark on everything.

Dylan created Digital Alliance Productions in 2015 with college friends and Directors, Kenneth Stevenson and Andrew Bennett as a way to serve the commercial advertising space. Dylan is big on coming with solutions, not problems on his projects. In addition to these efforts, Dylan is responsible for curating a roster of Directors that meets the needs of agency and brand direct clients in this modern age.

Creative Development

It all starts with a good idea. We sit down together to discuss your brand culture and video objectives. We will brainstorm and explore the most effective video treatment to align our ideas with your brand goals.

Pre-Production

This is when our ideas begin to take shape. We finalize the shoot dates, storyboards, talent, locations, and other logistics. Our dedication to being prepared is what contributes to the execution of an exceptional product and a successful client relationship.

Production

It’s finally time to shoot! A confident creative vision, combined with expert preparation leads to a successful on-set experience. Our talented, friendly crews travel all over the country (indoors or outside) to capture the video, photo, and audio content essential to telling your story.

Post-Production

Now, this is where the magic happens. Our expert Post-Production team edits, animates, color grades, and sound-designs an inspired video deliverable. Our dedicated Project Manager & Post-Supervisor ensure your videos are delivered on-time and on budget.
