About Us
AFTR is about the after effect, the impact a story creates once it’s seen, heard and shared. After more than 20 years leading marketing teams across healthcare, media, insurance, eCommerce and food, Julie saw firsthand how fragmented content production could become, with brands juggling locations, photographers, videographers, props, editing, approvals and endless coordination just to create the content to drive business growth.
AFTR was built to simplify that process. We bring location, photography, videography, creative support, curated props, customizable backdrops and optional post-production together in one streamlined production experience for brands, agencies, founders and creators. And because AFTR was built from the client side of the table, we think beyond the shoot itself to how content will be used across channels to build trust, drive action and support growth. Julie is fortunate to collaborate with trusted creative partners she has worked with for years, including videographer and editor Dious Clay and photographer Ryan Tanaka.
Less chaos, more content. Get AFTR it.
