origins of “nut alleRgy media”

The journey of this company takes us back to 2012, when Ryan Kessler (CEO) embarked on a mission to tell captivating and unique stories through the power of visual media. It's truly awe-inspiring to reflect on the fact that his initial films were crafted using a humble $80 Sony camcorder. Despite the technical limitations, he realized that going solo was an arduous task, until he discovered a group of like minded individuals who shared his passion.

United by a common vision, six talented individuals came together to establish "Nut Allergy Media" – a name that symbolizes their dedication to breaking barriers and defying expectations. Their purpose extended beyond creating their own narratives; they aspired to empower others, offering a gateway for all to bring their visions to life, irrespective of their background or experience. The ethos of inclusivity and accessibility became the cornerstone of their enterprise.

As the company flourished and gained prominence, a multitude of opportunities emerged, with storytellers from all walks of life seeking to have their voices heard. They sought to partake in our renowned production experience, a realm where productivity, creativity, and innovation converge to elevate projects to unprecedented heights. Nut Allergy Media has grown to employ a talented workforce of 20 individuals, and their impressive repertoire boasts over 12 films, some of which have garnered esteemed accolades and recognition.

Fuelled by a commitment to pushing the boundaries of what independent creators can achieve, they continue to redefine the possibilities and inspire a new generation of storytellers to fearlessly pursue their dreams.

A Logo, an identity

Our standout signature logo remains a unique symbol that represents the core values and traditions of our company. The green backdrop symbolizes new beginnings and growth while also reflecting our commitment to sustainability and structure. The white and black figure eight pays homage to Chinese philosophy dating back to the 3rd century BCE, illustrating the intricate process of the universe and everything within it. It is also interpreted as the "energetic vibration of personal power, hidden power, shared resources, determination, material and financial gain, the pinnacle, recognition of work, lifestyle upgrades, rebirth and generation, and transformation," as eloquently quoted by astrologer Jacquelyn Tierney.
