“I’m thrilled to be teaming up with GEM to provide the aspect of aerial coverage to their projects,” said Steidley. “When this collaboration presented itself, I realized it was a distinctive opportunity to combine my experience in the action sports world and my passion for aerial footage with a close-to-home agency to create unparalleled excellency.”
Through this exclusive partnership, GEM Advertising will enhance not only its production capabilities but will also gain a spectacular branding expert in sports marketing.
“Despite the fact that aerial media is a hot-button issue in America right now, the fact remains that getting into the air is one of the best ways to instantly enhance production value,” said GEM Chief Strategy Officer Peter Kozodoy. “In our partnership with Mike, we not only gain a fabulous addition to our film and television production department, but we also gain his years of experience in sports marketing. We are looking forward to the impact that Mike’s unique perspective will have not only on our sports-oriented clients but also on our clients across all industries.”

His focus, determination, and competitive nature is apparent not just in his professional riding career, but in everything he does,” says GEM Creative Director Alex Winter. “Aerial photography grants us the flexibility to have limitless creativity when designing shots and telling stories. We look at this technology not only as an incredibly impressive gadget, but more importantly as a tool to master our craft and present added value to our clients. To be totally cliché, the sky is the limit.”
