Crane Communications

Founded in Philadelphia in 1993, Crane Communications is a women-owned agency organized around three connected disciplines: media, creative, and project management. Its client list includes tourism and cultural organizations, reflected in work such as Artscape: The Wyeths, a social media video project, The Art of the Road Trip for television, and a client testimonial produced for Chester County Tourism.

Services cover creative concepting and production, media planning and buying, brand strategy and positioning, video scripts and storyboards, and project management and operations. Brand work ranges from building a new identity to refreshing or growing an existing one, using strategy, design, and storytelling. Media planning starts with identifying a client's most valuable audiences, then connects with them through targeted buys, drawing on three decades of traditional media experience alongside newer digital channels.

On the production side, Crane scales the level of production to match a client's vision and budget rather than applying a single fixed package, and video storytelling recurs across its listed work. Project management and operations round out the offering, aimed at streamlining production workflows for clients juggling multiple moving pieces. Thirty years in, the agency continues to operate under the same women-owned, Philadelphia-based structure it started with.
