Hello, We’re Avalore.

About Our Agency
Crafting Stories That Connect
At the core of Avalore you’ll find the transformative force of storytelling. Since 2015, as an owner-operated, full-service creative agency, we've held a simple belief: every brand has a story that matters. Whether we're guiding government agencies through complex messaging or helping private companies reshape their image, we empower diverse clients across industries nationwide to own and tell their narratives. Our approach is practical and comprehensive. We offer a full suite of services—from website design and impactful video production to eye-catching graphic design and animation. Welcome to Avalore, where storytelling isn't a buzzword—it's the spotlight guiding you towards success.
Our Creative Core
We're a dynamic blend of visionary artists, meticulous researchers, eloquent writers, innovative designers, and savvy developers. Together, we love crafting powerful brands that thrive in any industry. We reject 'good enough' and never settle. Driven by excellence, our clients rely on us for expert guidance through digital shifts with expertise and finesse. We're not just about setting strategies or checking boxes; we're constantly evolving, committed to refining and rethinking our approaches for continuous improvement. It’s one thing to have a company do what you ask, and it’s another for them to think, challenge, and create on your behalf—anticipating and innovating without needing to be told. In a nutshell, that’s Avalore. Our reliability isn’t just talk. Our track record speaks for itself—we're known for meeting schedules on time and within the allocated resources.
Our Mission
To be pound for pound the best creative agency in the country.
We aren't the largest creative team, and we don't want to be. We enjoy having a nimble, tight-knit team that punches well above our weight class.
We're innovators. Problem solvers. Experts. Creative architects. And we love what we do.
Our Values
Purpose Driven
We succeed and deliver because we love our craft. The grind. The gauntlet that is the ever-changing landscape of creative services. Today will not be like tomorrow. Every day brings challenges. In our landscape, you are either pushing forward or falling behind. We embrace this.
Devoted
We care about our team. We care about our clients. We care about our work. And we care about our viewers, users, and followers. You could call it passion, commitment, or dedication. At Avalore, our care and attention can be seen in everything we do.
Agile
We roll with the punches. Things can change within a blink of an eye. Our team is not flat-footed. We are agile, quick, and constantly adapting to the environment around us.
Our Team
Our Beginnings
Dr. Patrick Page and Professor Regis Tucci were itching to tell a story. They wanted to document the lives of the pioneering physicians of the Grand Valley while they still had a chance. To tell the story right, they needed a team. In the spring of 2014, Tucci approached Brenden Huey and Kayla Prentner to take on the project. Together, we came up with a plan to film these fading histories.
In a matter of weeks, we were recording our first interviews. In the winter of 2015, our exuberant, mustachioed friend and mentor Regis Tucci suddenly passed away. We had to decide whether we should try to continue, or let the project rest with our friend. We pushed on.
By that October, we finished The Secret Sauce—a documentary capturing the history of Grand Junction’s nationally recognized health care system. In the process, we became an LLC and—in honor of our southwest roots—called ourselves Kokopelli Pictures.
We worked with Colorado Mesa University’s Maverick Innovation Center—an entrepreneurial center to help students launch their ideas. The center helped push Kokopelli Pictures to the next level and we became the first registered company to go through their accelerator program.
After Kayla and Brenden graduated from CMU, Kokopelli Pictures began to pick up work from clients in the manufacturing industry. We had to expand our services for our new clients. Rather than just focusing on video production, we began to take on print and digital marketing, website design and development, and brand strategy.

Testimonials
Right from our initial exploratory call with Avalore, they displayed an eagerness to understand our organization, what our needs were with the publication, and how we preferred to work. We appreciated the creativity they brought to the design process, which included giving us several design options based on our original input. The Avalore team was always timely and efficient and helped solve problems in the design process rather than give excuses. The work was completed on time and within budget. In short, the Avalore team is professional and collegial, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration with them on future projects.
