Oklahoma City creative agency rooted in film production, branding and advertising
About Freestyle
Freestyle Creative is a marketing, advertising and film production company in Oklahoma City. Vahid Farzaneh founded it in 2007. He studied film and media at the University of Oklahoma and started out as a cinematographer, so the firm began with video work and then rented out its cinema cameras and studio space. Kelley Gann joined in 2014 as president and partner (some listings now name Gann as CEO), and the firm then grew into a full-service agency.
For about 15 years the firm was based in Moore. In December 2022 it bought an 11,495 square foot, two-storey building at 301 North Harvey Avenue in downtown Oklahoma City and moved there, with plans to use the basement, which connects to the OKC Underground. The staff numbers 10 to 50. The company has an in-house green screen studio and its own cinema cameras, lenses, drones and lighting, which it also rents to filmmakers.
Their services include marketing strategy, advertising and media placement, branding, design, web design, public relations, social media, photography and video production. They describe their approach as cinematic storytelling. SEO is not a headline service, and they have no dental marketing page. A practice would get the most value from video, photography, brand identity and local advertising rather than technical search work.
Their healthcare record is stronger than their dental record. For Norman Regional Health System, a campaign raised brand awareness and new patient growth and reached 19 million impressions. OSU Medical Center is another case study, and medical makes up about 20% of their work. Other clients include the Chickasaw Nation, the State of Oklahoma, the Oklahoma City Convention Center, Braum's, MidFirst Bank, the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. The firm is credited on more than 30 feature films, documentaries and short films.
The firm has won ADDY, Telly and Communicator awards. It was on the Metro 50 fastest-growing list in 2019 and won Best Advertising Agency in the Journal Record Readers Rankings. Farzaneh was named one of the Journal Record's Most Admired CEOs from 2018 to 2020. Google reviews average 4.8 from 40 reviews, and many date from 2014 to 2021. Reviewers praise personal attention, value for money and the quality of the crew and equipment on commercial shoots.
The average rate is $149 an hour, with a minimum budget of $1,000 to $10,000 and a typical project of $10,000 to $49,000. No packages or contract terms are published.
