Lima Charlie Creative is a Los Angeles-based studio working across documentary, branded content, commercial, and non-profit. We help brands and organizations to move the needle on communications goals through strategic visual storytelling.
What’s with the name? “Lima Charlie” is NATO alphabet radio speak for “Loud and Clear.” The name is inspired by founder Chris Burke’s upbringing in a family of Navy and Air Force Veterans. Whereas most military slang is not fit to print in polite company, “loud & clear” fits the bill as a good north star.
We develop creative strategy with clients, and we love shooting in the studio and anywhere around the world the work might take us. In-house post capabilities include editorial, motion graphics, and color/finishing built around DaVinci Resolve and the Adobe Creative Suite.
We’ve delivered to streamers, legacy networks, customized multi-screen live events, and every aspect ratio of social deliverable imaginable. Always excited about what’s next.
