Buck The Cubicle

We believe it’s time to give your values a voice.

More and more, consumers direct their purchasing power towards companies that they trust. In order to trust you they need to know your purpose, your ethics, your goals…and they need to hear them loud and clear.

And we owe you the same favor. So here it is…Buck The Cubicle is a majority women owned small business that was born out of a desire to use our storytelling skills for good. We are a vegan, a vegetarian and a meat eater. One of us grew up in the city, while the other two grew up in a rural farming community. One of us is heavily involved in pigeon rescue, one of us took a bicycle trip solo around Morocco, and all three of us love a good laugh over a few beers (or in Jon’s case, half a beer. Jon is a lightweight.).

Now more than a decade in the business of video and photography, we’ve told stories about everything from solar initiatives to sexagenarian fitness buffs to Arctic ice music concerts. If your story is genuine, inspirational and a force for good, we want to help you tell the world.

Do it better. Do it right. Buck it.
