ABOUT US

We’re not just here to make things look good. We create strategic video content that helps companies build trust, attract customers, recruit employees, and explain what makes them different.

 

Media Ranch was founded by Logan Hjelseth after seeing a major gap in the market. Too many businesses either struggled to create content themselves or ended up with videos that might look nice but didn’t actually help move the business forward.

 

With a background rooted in blue-collar industries and real-world business operations, we understand the companies we work with because we’ve spent time in those environments ourselves. That perspective allows us to create content that feels authentic, connects with customers, and actually reflects the people behind the brand.

 

We primarily work with construction companies, home builders, service businesses, outdoor brands, and agriculture-related companies throughout North Dakota and Minnesota.

 

From brand story films and recruiting videos to social media content, training videos, and ad creative, every project we create is built around one goal:
helping businesses grow through clear, honest, strategic storytelling.

 

At the end of the day, we believe the best marketing comes from real people, real stories, and real results.

LOGAN HJELSETH

OWNER

After graduating from NDSU with a degree in Agricultural Economics, I began my career in the ag industry. While I enjoyed the work, I always felt a calling to start something of my own. Driven by that entrepreneurial spirit, I moved to Hawaii to partner with a friend in launching a motorcycle rental company.

It was during my time in Hawaii, amidst the challenges of COVID-19, that I dove deep into video production. I began to see it as one of the most valuable tools for businesses in the modern landscape. In 2023, just a few months after returning home to the Red River Valley, I started Media Ranch.

Today, I live in Grand Forks with my wife, Taylor, and our two dogs. In my free time, there is nothing I enjoy more than archery hunting for both mule and whitetail deer.
