Big Slate Media

We have a passion for making video content that is relevant and interesting to your target audience. We believe that is the key to a content creation project.

Our Knoxville-based agency began in the summer of 2015 as a production company specializing in aerial film and photography. We quickly grew into a full-service production house creating video content for broadcast and digital. We fight against the “noise” of social media and “posting just to post” by creating strategically sound and truly inspiring content for audiences.


Logo with large red letters R & R, and smaller text Rhyme & Reason Design underneath.

We’re experts in our field, strategic thinkers, brand champions, purveyors of print, digital denizens, video storytellers and poetic copywriters. We confetti all the things, throw dance parties because it’s Tuesday and never pass up a good dad joke. Halloween makes us happy, as do happy clients. And we’ve built a culture where smart is beautiful and creativity is esteemed.
