It’s a hot afternoon in Atlanta, and the team at Skutch Media is wrapping up another high-energy, high-quality podcast session. In the middle of the city’s hustle and bustle, in a studio that feels more like home than a professional space, business owners and entrepreneurs are recording their next big idea. They’re relaxed, engaged, and empowered—precisely because they know Skutch Media has their back.
For founders Pete and Marnie Joseph, this moment feels like the culmination of a journey that started in the bustling world of corporate media, advertising, and entertainment, and evolved into something uniquely powerful for creators of all sizes. Skutch Media isn’t just a video and podcast production company—it’s a bridge to professional-level content and strategy for businesses that may not have the resources of major corporations, but deserve to create impactful, polished content.
How It All Began
Skutch Media was born from a shared desire to leave behind the bureaucracy of big corporations and create something that fused creativity with meaningful work. After more than 25 years of experience, Pete and Marnie knew it was time to leverage their expertise to offer a different kind of service—one that simplified the content creation and marketing process without compromising quality.
Pete’s background in music and live entertainment, and corporate partnership roles at Madison Square Garden and Live Nation, gave him a solid foundation in large-scale media production. His experience with top-tier brands like Google, Nissan, and others helped him understand the nuances of producing high-stakes, impactful content for diverse audiences.
Marnie, on the other hand, spent years leading media strategy and activation for major brands such as Chick-fil-A, General Motors, Checkers & Rally’s, and Comcast. Her expertise in content, production, and media strategy was the perfect complement to Pete’s technical production knowledge. Together, they knew that their combined skill set would allow them to craft a streamlined production experience for everyday creators and business owners.
The Skutch Name: A Nod to Personality
The name Skutch holds a special place in Pete’s heart. Growing up in an Italian-American household, Pete was often affectionately called “Skutch” by his family. The term, which translates loosely to “a lovable pest,” was used to describe a boisterous, outspoken person—a term of endearment. It resonated with Pete’s vibrant personality, and when the couple started the company, it felt like the perfect fit to reflect their bold, scrappy approach to creative work.
The Birth of Skutch Media
In 2024, Pete and Marnie launched Skutch Media as a one-stop-shop for small-scale video and podcast production. What set Skutch apart from the get-go was its emphasis on efficiency without sacrificing quality. Pete took charge of the technical aspects, managing video and audio engineering, production, and business development. Marnie focused on media strategy, editing, and post-production, ensuring that every piece of content was as impactful as possible.
With a fully sound-treated studio in Atlanta, Skutch is equipped to handle a variety of needs, from podcasts to interviews to social content. The duo’s core mission was clear: deliver corporate-level quality and strategy to creators, entrepreneurs, and small business owners who deserve top-tier content—but without the high cost or long turnaround times typically associated with larger agencies. They call this approach Agency-Level Strategy Disguised as Video Production.
What Makes Skutch Media Different?
Unlike many podcast studios that double as music recording spaces or event venues, Skutch Media is a purpose-built podcast studio. Everything about the space is designed with business owners and serious creators in mind—from the state-of-the-art equipment to the comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. It’s not just about the technical side; it’s about ensuring clients feel empowered to perform their best. The professional, friendly vibe of the studio encourages confidence, and the team’s expertise and support make every session smooth and enjoyable.
“Atlanta is full of creative agencies, videographers, and—what we like to call—‘kids with cameras,’” says Marnie. “We’ve found our niche in this market as experienced professionals who aren’t in the content business to work with rappers or celebrities. We’re in it because we know how powerful video podcasts are for business owners—and we love proving it to them.”
From production to publishing, Skutch leverages AI tools to accelerate workflows, optimize discoverability in AI-driven search, and generate high-performing content across platforms. This innovative use of technology allows for faster turnaround times and ensures every piece of content is tailored to stand out in search engines and social platforms. The production team isn’t outsourced to third parties—you’ll work directly with the in-house team, ensuring consistency and personalized attention for every project.
In addition to fast production times, Skutch Media’s all-inclusive production packages take the stress out of content creation. These packages are all bookable on Skutch Media’s website, and are scalable from just shooting and editing, to packages inclusive of full content strategy, and episode processing into weeks worth of marketing content.
