Video & Photography · Built for Independent Schools

Your school has a story.
Tell it the way only an insider could.

We don’t show up as a vendor. We embed ourselves in your community, learn your culture, and create content that captures what makes your school irreplaceable — for every family, alumni, and donor who needs to feel it.

Why It Matters

Your admissions team is working hard.
Your content should be working harder.

Independent schools run lean. Your communications director is juggling open houses, social media, newsletters, and a capital campaign all at once. The last thing you need is a vendor who shows up, shoots, and disappears.

Disla Media works differently. We become part of your team. We learn your culture, your families, your language. We show up year after year knowing what story to tell and exactly how to tell it.

You don’t have time to brief a new vendor every year
When you work with us on retainer, we already know your campus, your people, and your voice. Every project starts at 80% not zero.
One video doesn’t tell your whole story
Admissions, community, alumni, annual giving. Each audience needs something different. A content partner creates that library over time.
Families are deciding before Open House
Your video and photography is often the first impression. It needs to feel like your school, not a stock footage reel.
Small Marcom teams deserve a big creative partner
You keep pace with schools that have double the resources because your content punches above your budget.

Content Retainers

One partner. All year.

Instead of scrambling to book a photographer for every event, a retainer gives you consistent, high-quality content throughout the school year. We plan with you, show up when it matters, and deliver assets your whole team can use.

From Our School Partners

What directors of communications
say about working with us.

“

Working with German and Disla Media has been an incredible experience. With such a small Marcom team, it’s extremely important for us to find reliable, flexible, and innovative media companies to build partnerships with, and Disla Media goes above and beyond with every project. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to anticipate our needs make them an invaluable resource and there is no one else we’d rather work with.

Angela Stewart Director of Communications, The Pike School
“

For over five years, Disla Media has been an invaluable creative partner to our school, bringing exceptional talent and genuine care to every project. His work didn’t just document our story, it helped us write a new chapter in community connection. I will always be grateful for German’s partnership, especially throughout the challenges of COVID-19.

Novelette Brown Director of Communications & Marketing, Pingree School
