Mimi Gan & Melinda Morrison

At a glance, Melinda is the tall skinny one (as in latte). Mimi is a short 2%. But up close, we are award-winning producers and media consultants with more than 20 years of experience.

Mi2 Media's specialty is short-form media but we do much more. We are experts at honing an organization's or company's message and then conveying it through video, high-profile events, live broadcasts and social media. We listen to our clients and then use our expertise to come up with the best media plan.

We are compassionate and compelling storytellers.

We are drawn to stories that can make a difference in the world and have traveled the globe to interview world leaders, innovators and everyday heroes. Whether it's profiling heads of state or the homeless, we always strive to be sensitive and well-prepared.

We are humbled.

In addition to being seasoned producers, writers and field directors, we have an expansive network of award-winning photojournalists, editors and technical crews in every city, state and country. If you need a video shoot in Mogadishu or Memphis we can handle it.

Our goal is to capture the heart and soul of a story…the kind of stories that stay with you.
