About BoldWave

Born in New Orleans.
Built for Bold.

Founded in 2016 by a group of New Orleans creatives who believed the city deserved a world-class agency that understood its culture as deeply as it understood craft. Eight years and 340 projects later, we're 22 people strong on Canal Street.

Our Story

A Studio Rooted
in Place.

BoldWave was founded by Dominique Arceneaux and Marcus Treadwell — a brand designer and a filmmaker who kept asking the same question: why do New Orleans brands look like they were made somewhere else? They opened the studio on Canal Street with one principle: creative work for Louisiana businesses should feel like Louisiana.

Eight years later, we've grown from two founders with a laptop and a DSLR to a 22-person studio with a dedicated shooting stage, four editing suites, a podcast booth, and a client list spanning hospitality, real estate, food and beverage, nonprofits, and Gulf Coast brands.

Every project at BoldWave has a dedicated creative director who owns the vision from kickoff through delivery. No bait-and-switch. The person you meet is the person making your work.
