About Dos Avocados Media

Two avocados.
One obsession with story.

How we got here

Dos Avocados Media started the way most good things do — by accident. Dan got sick with COVID — very, very sick. And when he recovered, Jossy urged him to take a leap and follow his dream.

We discovered we shared the same instinct: the seeds of stories are everywhere, you just have to nurture them. So we built a studio around that.

We work out of Durham, but the Triangle is small and the highways are good. We’re regularly in Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Charlotte, Asheville, and Wilmington and all sorts of other places in and around North Carolina.

What we believe

Story first, camera second.

If we don’t understand it, we’re not capturing it yet.

No cookie cutters.

Every project gets its own plan. We don’t sell packages.

Small business, big care.

You get our attention. Not an account manager’s.

Make room at the table.

We especially love working with women-, LGBTQ+-, and BIPOC-owned businesses.

Where we work

Based in Durham, regularly across:

Durham · Raleigh · Chapel Hill · Charlotte · Asheville · Wilmington
