Our Story

How it Started 

After more than 25 years working in corporate media, advertising, and entertainment, we decided it was time to build something of our own. Skutch Media was born from the desire to use our skills, experience, and creativity to do meaningful work, and to have fun doing it. We knew we had an opportunity to bring high-quality, professional video and podcast production to everyday creators and businesses. So we built it.

What We Did Before 

Pete comes from the world of live entertainment, having held executive roles with companies like Madison Square Garden, Live Nation, and Speedway Motorsports. He’s worked with some of the biggest brands in the world, from Google to Nissan, creating immersive 360° partnerships to connect them with fans. Marnie, on the other hand, spent her career leading media strategy for brands like Chick-fil-A, General Motors, Checkers & Rally’s, and Comcast. Together, we understand content, production, marketing, and media from every angle.

Why the Name Skutch 

"Skutch" comes from the Italian-American word for a lovable pest, a term of endearment for a boisterous, outspoken personality. It was a nickname Pete heard often growing up in his household. It stuck. And it felt just right for the creative, scrappy spirit we bring to our work.

What We Do Today 

We launched Skutch Media in 2024 as a one-stop-shop for small-scale video and podcast production. Pete leads the technical side—handling audio and video engineering, production, and business development. Marnie produces, edits, and drives strategy across media, marketing, and post-production. Together, we make high-quality content production easy, efficient, and fast.

What Drives Us 

Our mission is to deliver corporate-level quality and strategy to everyday creators and business owners. Because content is essential, but creating it shouldn’t be complicated. We help you get your story out there with fast turnaround times, superior sound, and standout video.

Why Clients Choose Skutch 

Skutch is built for doers. We’re a nimble, responsive team that works fast, delivers consistently, and cares about getting it right. Our fully sound-treated Atlanta studio is optimized for podcasts, interviews, and social content, and our sound quality is constantly praised as some of the best clients have heard. We’ve created a process that’s efficient, friendly, and above all, effective.

The Studio Vibe 

Our studio was designed to bring out the best in your content. It’s a comfortable, inviting environment designed to help you show up confidently on camera and mic. From the professional lighting to the laid-back energy (and if you would like, our beloved studio dogs Javier and Tallulah Belle), clients often tell us that recording at Skutch is one of the best recording experiences they’ve had.

Looking Ahead 

We’re excited to keep building. From launching new e-commerce production offerings and educational resources to expanding our curated conversations collection, our goal is the same: create great content, deliver with care, and continue to serve those who want to do more with their stories.
