Hi! I’m Lance Gallo, a creative professional based on the West Coast, in Southern Oregon.

After over a decade in professional sales and marketing roles, I attended Southern Oregon University from 2015-2020, majoring in Emerging Media and Digital Arts, and minoring in Communications, with an emphasis of my studies centering on Public Engagement and Digital Marketing.

During that time I also did contract work with dozens of non-profit agencies and businesses based in the Rogue Valley (Southern Oregon), managing social media and creating content for most of my clients. I built my studio and assembled a team of creative professionals around the understanding that video works best for social media marketing, capturing over 80% more engagement than static content.

Now, as a full service boutique marketing agency, my team and I create campaigns, produce videos and accompanying digital assets, and place effective content in front of a carefully curated audience, based on analytics and a deep knowledge of the algorithms of the platforms the content is used on.

Post Production Work

From 2020 - 2023, I started working with an agency based in Portland, Oregon, LNS. I was brought in to scale their Post Production department to include video editing, and to update the department to current technology, including the use of AI for Broadcast Compliant Captions. LNS has a long history of providing Live Captions for the NBA’s Portland Trailblazers and other Fortune 500 companies, and many were eager to try our new services. The department grew over 400% during my one year contract, which includes working with Microsoft doing Post Production on several video campaigns.

The contract began with a very intense rollout of the Windows 11 Operating System. Microsoft had several changes they needed done to the announcement videos. The video was originally produced by a large studio, and my team handled Post Production Visual Adjustment Compositing, updated ADA captions, and added graphics and subtitles for over 70 languages and regions worldwide. While maintaining the original look and feel, we managed a team of translators and regional experts, and created all of changes in house at my studio in Medford, Oregon. After extensive editing and captioning, we published and monitored hundreds of videos. The content reached over a billion views in nearly 75 languages.

PERSONALIZED Content Creation and Production

During 2023 - 2025, I worked almost exclusively with Unite Oregon, a non-profit organization based in Portland, Oregon. After a year as a contractor, I was brought on board full time to create video content and help to lead messaging efforts for their individual regional chapters, while focusing on the Rogue Valley Chapter. Working in coordination with their Communications team, I created content that could be used both to drive calls to action, or posted as evergreen content for use in informational campaigns and in donor engagement efforts. I was tasked with creating Tik Tok’s, Instagram Reels, and YouTube video wrap ups, as well as evergreen re-cap videos after events such as protests, galas, or state wide summits.

Non Profit organization Work

While in college from 2015-2020, I made The Unhoused Oregon video series. The series was made in conjunction with and for the Southern Oregon Outreach Coalition, a group of outreach workers working on housing issues plaguing Southern Oregon. Originally published in a private 800 person Facebook group to be used as a resource for those working on the housing issues, the “Rodney and Karen” short film was later shared to Instagram by a group member and received over 100,000 views in the first week, before I was informed and asked the poster to take down the video. These were meant to be short documentary pieces that highlighted the people I met as I rode with the various non profit agencies as we shadowed the Medford PD, as they enforced Medford’s new “Illegal Camping” ordinance. I was usually there with the VA’s Unhoused Outreach Team, trying to help find housing for any veterans who were interested.

Clients and Collaborators

The following is a short list of some of the businesses and organizations I have worked with over the past five years. I worked on a range of projects from content creation to workflow building and project management.
