Ashton Stan
I'm Ashton Staniszewski. I started ARMADA after an eight year stint as a creative director at an Atlanta agency, where I led brand and content work for clients across automotive, hospitality, food & beverage, and entertainment.
That background sits behind every project. The production runs with the same instincts that shaped the brief. I'm also a working photographer. ashtonstan.com is where that side of the work lives.
ARMADA is built for a specific kind of brief: campaign content, social-first films, activations, and on-the-ground production for brands and agencies that need real work made at the speed the work actually moves. One creative lead. A trusted network that scales to the brief.
Most of what I take on runs alongside a brand's existing creative leadership, whether that's an in-house team or an agency of record. They own the strategy, the brand architecture, the placement. My job is the production layer underneath. The content that fills out a campaign. The films that live on social. The coverage that has to ship the same week it happens.
If that sounds like the kind of help you're looking for, get in touch.

The team
Every engagement is built around a small core team — DP, sound, production support, post — drawn from a network of collaborators I've worked with across the past decade of automotive, lifestyle, and brand work.
I scale the crew to the brief. A single shooter for a tighter activation. A four-person team for a story film. Larger for a multi-day production. Same creative direction, same standards, every time.
