Mills James is one of the region's largest and most comprehensive creative media companies. We are EMPLOYEE OWNED and CLIENT FOCUSED with a diverse team of 150 gifted people – all master storytellers in their particular crafts.

Here you'll find a rare and unique combination of talent and technology that can produce great creative and great results, harnessing imagination, skill and passion to tell a powerful story – YOUR STORY.


Every organization has a story to tell and how well that story is told is a key factor in the organization's success.

The purpose of any good story is to GET RESULTS – to inspire, to motivate, to educate – but you'll never achieve your goals unless you can first get the attention of your audience, an audience bombarded with messages every day in every way. 

In an era of constant distractions, how do you cut through the clutter? How do you hold and engage your audience?  How do you make your story memorable? 

Stories must be crafted to meet the special qualities, knowledge, emotions and predilections of your audience.   Good storytelling requires imagination, craft and experience – and the right message in the right medium.


At Mills James, we come from a wide variety of disciplines – television, video, interactive and web-based media, theater and the audio-visual and staging industry – but we all share a common background. 

We are storytellers – 21st Century storytellers – people whose job it is to put magic in the message, using today's creative media to be a catalyst for change and move an audience to action.

Our staff consists of designers, writers, directors, corporate event producers, web developers, videographers, editors, composers, technicians, lighting and sound experts and MORE.  And our job is to tell your story in the most compelling manner possible, to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.

After nearly a quarter of a century in business, we've helped hundreds of clients, large and small, providing solutions to communication challenges for both internal and external audiences.  We'd love the opportunity to demonstrate how we can put that experience to work for you.

Ken Mills co-founded Mills James Productions in 1984 in Columbus, Ohio with his partner Cameron James. An award-winning writer/producer/director, Mills' passion for filmmaking and production drove the company's evolution into one of the country's largest independent production companies and leading providers of integrated communication solutions.

In 1984, co-founder Cameron James brought a rich background in live television and theater, and a keen insight into business communications to the Mills James partnership. His passion for communicating with live audiences resulted in a company that is recognized today as one of the country's premier producers and strategic planners of corporate meetings and special events.

Until recently Mills and James were the sole owners of the company, but in 2007 a significant percentage of ownership was transferred to the employees of the company, giving everyone a stake in the future success of the firm – and more importantly, giving everyone a stake in the success of our clients.  That's why everyone at Mills James makes this commitment to our clients:

  • Listen.
  • Make it easy.   
  • Respond quickly.
  • Pay attention to the details.
  • Treat everyone with courtesy and respect.
  • Solve problems.
