In a Nutshell

Riser Media is a team of creative (and, might we add, really good looking) people dedicated to providing top-quality graphic design services coupled with integrity and a friendly disposition. At a combined weight of 2,092 pounds—we literally have more than a ton of raw talent.


In 2002, “dot-com” / “dot-bomb” veteran Michael Janda ended his multi-year Hollywood stint as Creative Director for a couple of Fox’s internet ventures (Fox Kids and Fox Family) and founded Jandaco (now known as Riser Media). In the early years, the company was truly a sweat shop. Fortunately as the owner and sole Riser Media employee, Michael opted not to sue himself for abuse of labor laws. After a couple years of torture by overwork, Michael’s wife compelled him to hire employee number one (it seemed she wanted her husband back). By the end of that year, the company had office space and six full-time staff members. Now, several year's later with too many heads to keep track of, Riser Media is a thriving design agency making waves in the industry. In 2008, Riser Media was recognized as the 17th Fastest Growing Company in Utah Valley (population 500,000+) and the 43rd Fastest Growing Company in the state of Utah. In 2009, Riser Media was awarded the prestigious "Best of State" award for graphic design.

Since inception, Riser Media has specialized in fully custom design and development services for our acclaimed client list, including Disney, Warner Bros. Fox, NBC, HBO, National Geographic, AOL, and many other internationally recognized companies.
