AV Collective + Paylocity
Our history together.
I’ve done a lot of work for Paylocity over the years. My first project was 7 or 8 years ago, before Paylocity had even moved into the new building, and we’ve been working together ever since. Before the internal video team was built, I was a main resource for all sorts of video and photo needs. I worked with the Steve’s on Paylocity’s 20th anniversary documentary, I did headshots, fiscal year videos, client testimonials, conferences in Vegas and Chicago, basically I was the video team for all things marketing and beyond. I’ve worked on a lot of great content and with a lot of amazing people over the years.
Our future together.
I know you’ve got a great internal team, but what we offer to a lot of clients is the ability to get video projects done without the hassle. When you need a video created, you want to be able to pick up the phone, talk to a coworker and have them take it off your plate and you know it gets done. That’s what we can offer. We rarely say no, and we always overdeliver. Internal content teams have more red tape to work through or need to push back more on requests. How many times have you reached out and the internal team is real busy but can do it in a few weeks, or they need to run it by someone else first? That’s not their fault, that’s the nature of the job. We just offer you the ability to execute at the same level, without all the hassle. We also help internal teams by offering coverage for people’s PTO or when they get too busy to add another project. We can literally scale as big or as small as we need to help you out.
We’ve done a lot for Paylocity, here’s a small sample…

A little about us
It’s important to learn a little bit about who you’re working with before a project starts. We’re not fresh out of college and decided to start doing our own thing. Our founder & Creative Director, Cal Engel has over 20 years experience in the industry. Spanning from traditional marketing agencies to innovation agencies to brands to digital out of home, even working with literally the biggest music acts in the world. Ten years ago he decided to form AV Collective as a way to provide that same high quality work to clients, but without them having to pay the overhead of a traditional agency. Why’s that important for you? Every project is going to have challenges. It’s about the knowledge and expertise of the people you work with, that allows them to overcome those challenges and deliver projects beyond your expectations.
Here’s what a few of our clients have said about us…
“Working with Cal at AV Collective has been a feather in my professional cap. We have created work that changed the way people thought of my company, turning our executives and customers into rock stars. Cal is highly creative; he can put together innovative ideas and concepts independently. Cal is also highly collaborative, so you can bring your ideas (no matter how crazy) with you and he can help bring them to life.”
“Words do not describe how amazing Cal and the team have been to work with. They have helped our agency out on a lot of last minute projects, which have included editing, VO, music and design. The attention to detail and thoughtfulness for each project they have been engaged on has been incredibly refreshing. They take true pride and ownership in each project.”
“From beginning to end, just a world-class experience. I do know that those words get used a lot, world-class, to the point where they don’t mean much but, for me, as someone who has been on countless photo, commercial, and video shoots, knowing every single detail is the difference between a project that moves through ideation to completion smoothly and an experience that is less than ideal for all involved. Working with Cal has been nothing short of spectacular.”
