Pelican Media is a Tempe, Arizona-based creative media company dedicated to helping businesses tell their stories authentically and effectively so they can grow. Pelican Media has helped businesses all over the globe with video, photography, web development, and collateral design since 2011.
Sam Pagel started Pelican Media back in the summer of 2011 when he decided it was time to turn his passion for creative media into a business.
After being exposed to so many bad videos on local television and the web, he vowed to help local businesses tell their stories accurately and with imagination. He wanted to show the world that great promotional material belongs to everyone, not just the highbrow conglomerates with nothing but money. 
Thus, Sam created Pelican Media to level the playing field. Since the beginning, Sam strongly believed in a job well done, on time, as promised. That is why Pelican Media has never missed a project deadline … ever.
Sam has endured late nights (that sometimes turn into early mornings) and 100+ hour work weeks to deliver products his clients are proud of. Since starting Pelican Media he has been able to work with so many amazing people and businesses. He has a passion for the work he does.

ABOUT AZ BRANDCAST
Branding isn’t just for companies. In fact, Arizona is its own brand. Every month, Mike Jones and Chris Stadler tap into Arizona’s rich community of thought leaders and business owners to find out how the state is developing that brand. Join them as they interview business and thought leaders from in and around Arizona about higher purpose in their companies and Arizona’s development as a brand. AZ Brandcast is powered by Conscious Capitalism AZ and Resound Creative.
ABOUT YOUR HOSTS
It’s Mike Jones‘ mission to see brands grow and succeed – to reach their full potential. He believes every brand, like every person, has DNA that’s remarkable, but not every brand knows how to act like it (and communicate it to the world). It’s not about what’s trendy, whatever consumers are demanding, or whatever will turn the fastest profit. It’s about the long game – building real relationships with your customers and your community.
Chris Stadler likes to see great plans executed. In a world looking for magic formulas, his stoic outlook tends to point people back to doing the basics really well. Accountability and measurement are his tools. In the past, Chris served as the staff copywriter for a large credit union, UX/human factors researcher at the University of Iowa and full-time teaching faculty, teaching design, copy and strategy at the University of Oregon.
