VMG Studios, an Emmy Award-winning creative agency specializing in animation, design, video, and virtual production, proudly announces the celebration of its 20th anniversary. What started as a small venture in a garage has grown into a powerhouse agency serving some of the world’s most iconic brands, including Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks, and Meta.
Founded in 2004 by Kelly Sparks, VMG Studios has consistently pushed the boundaries of creativity and innovation. But the company’s origin story is as inspiring as its rise to success. In 2002, while facing financial challenges, overcoming an abusive marriage and navigating a troubling divorce, Sparks along with her partner made an extraordinary discovery—a hidden stash of $20,000 in the walls of his garage. This unexpected windfall became the seed money for VMG Studios, transforming a dream into reality.
“That moment was a turning point,” said Kelly Sparks, Founder and CEO of VMG Studios. “It wasn’t just about the money—it was a symbol that even in our darkest moments, there can be a silver lining. That discovery fueled my entrepreneurial journey and laid the foundation for what VMG Studios has become today.”
Over the past two decades, VMG Studios has grown from humble beginnings into an Emmy Award-winning agency known for delivering high-quality, innovative creative solutions for global enterprises. The company has earned a reputation for its ability to adapt to the rapidly evolving digital landscape while maintaining a strong commitment to storytelling and client collaboration.
“Reaching our 20th anniversary is a significant milestone,” Sparks continued. “It’s a testament to our team’s dedication, our clients’ trust, and our relentless pursuit of creative excellence.” As the agency moves forward, VMG Studios remains committed to embracing new technologies like virtual production, pushing creative boundaries, and helping clients tell their stories in visually stunning and impactful ways.
