Our Background
Russ Rutan
Founder
What's Done is Done
St Clair Media has been in the video business, working with major networks, advertising agencies, award-winning programs, home videos, cable TV shows — on air cable local and national TV — and a radio personality.
Working for the Colorado Institute of Art, one of the first colleges to offer an accredited degree in audio and video, Mr. Rutan helped design the program and the curriculum, and taught for 6 years, allowing other schools to offer degrees in the audio and video fields.
As a media agency we could write about all the great things we've done, but what is done doesn't tell you what you really want to know: What can we do for you?
We are the hired guns behind the work. We have over 300 hours of 15- and 30-second TV spots, over 100 hours of Facebook videos, and Broadcast TV shows, home videos, and more in the 300- to 500-hour range. From Charleston to Asheville to Charlotte, Greenville, Spartanburg, Columbia, Atlanta, Augusta, Jacksonville, Savannah — and across the US and Europe.

She has won several awards for her work and produced the acclaimed Island's Fourth of July Events attended by over 100,000 people annually. Kate writes for publications such as Beaufort Lifestyle and is a Producer at Business Southern Style.
She believes the best way to enjoy discovering new places is to find the most personalized reasons someone wants to visit a destination or event — then provide people with individual tools and information through marketing or digitally to ensure a great experience.
