Territory officially introduces itself to the national market as the finishing touches are being completed on the second floor of the hybrid editorial and post-production boutique’s 13,000 square foot space.
The new moniker provides a vehicle for the restructuring and re-branding of founder and editor Terry King’s award-winning company STS-Griot. Taking its model to the next level it meets the demand for an integrated and efficient approach to high-end editing, finishing, visual FX, motion graphics, audio and sound design services for commercials, as well as digital media content.
The realization of Terry King’s and partner Sarah Fisher's vision of the ultimate creative resource, Territory is a single-source editorial through finishing firm, with top-caliber talent and a range of services that defies boundaries. Its nimble infrastructure enables its accomplished roster of editors to work from anywhere in the country – while still offering the benefit of the cutting-edge facility’s cost effective, full-service approach.
King, senior producer Joan Porter, and producer Manan (Vicky) Patel, head up a staff of talent that includes editors King, Fisher, Michele Ballard, Dave Crosslin, Nicole Finateri and LA-based cutter Cary Gries, as well as three assistant editors. Brent Edwards brings years of experience as a finishing editor, compositor, and colorist. Marie Hansen recently joined Territory as client relationship manager.
Territory's 2014 reel showcases a diverse mix of work - including the Cadillac spot, 'Monkey Do,' (Supply & Demand/Hill Holiday) won King this year's AICE Award. After cutting the spot in LA, the elements were brought back to Territory’s facility to take advantage of its bells and whistles for some final tweaking before passing it on to The Mill/NY for finishing. Earlier this year the Toyota Avalon 2014 campaign, 'Only The Name Remains,' (Believe Media) also cut by King, took home the 2014 Gold ADDY.
While committed to maintaining a boutique style company, we knew we needed a considerably larger space to accommodate a wider range of services and enable us to create a comfortable, spacious and aesthetically inviting creative environment for our clients that would set Territory apart from the crowd,” says Fisher. “And the new expanded space does just that.”
The first floor is home to the company’s five roomy Creative Editing Suites, each featuring Mac towers running Final Cut Pro software, as well as the newest version of Avid Media Composer. Territory transformed a walk-in vintage vault into a state-of-the-art audio suite that houses Gold Sound, Detroit’s premier audio facility that specializes in audio post-production and sound design.
Territory is a certified minority owned and operated company with a diverse team of award-winning talent and a prestigious roster of national and regional work. To learn more about Territory, visit www.territorypost.com or contact Marie Hansen at 248.548.1011 or mhansen@territorypost.com.
