Our Founder

Meet TJ Jorgensen and Team

For more than four decades (starting in 1991), our founder – TJ Jorgensen – has built a reputation as one of the most dynamic creative forces in the Midwest. Born in Berrien Springs, Michigan, TJ discovered early that he had a gift for connecting with people, capturing emotion, and telling stories that mattered. What began as youthful ambition grew into a lifelong commitment to creativity, service, and leadership.

TJ entered the professional world at just 18 years old as a marketing associate for Burch, Inc. in Benton Harbor. While many teenagers were still deciding what they wanted to do, TJ was already developing marketing campaigns, sharpening his instinct for messaging, design, and audience impact. By 21, he stepped into the sign and graphics industry and eventually launched his first business, proving that entrepreneurship wasn’t something he hoped for… it was something he lived.

The turning point came in 2012, when he founded TJ21 Media Group in South Bend, Indiana. What started as a small creative company quickly grew into one of the region’s most influential media agencies, known for cinematic video production, digital marketing, web development and powerful brand storytelling.

Behind all the creative energy, TJ’s greatest strength lies in his heart for people. His leadership roles – including Board President of Big Brothers Big Sisters and Board President of Life Treatment Center – reflect his belief that success means nothing unless you lift others with you.

As a public speaker, TJ is known for his signature talk, “Infectious Energy,” which embodies his bold, motivating, and inspiring personality. Whether directing a video shoot, speaking at an event, or helping a nonprofit tell its story, TJ brings unmatched enthusiasm and vision.

Today, TJ stands not just as a business leader, but as a creative architect, a community builder, and a visionary behind the lens. His instinct with a camera and his relentless drive to help others succeed have earned him admiration across the region.

When TJ Jorgensen is part of your story, the story gets better.

TJ21 Media Group is more than a media company – it’s a force of creativity, passion, and precision. Under TJ’s leadership, the team has produced some of the most recognizable and emotionally impactful content in the region. Businesses grow, nonprofits expand their reach, and individuals find their stories amplified because TJ and his team bring unmatched heart and dedication into every project.

His vision when there’s a video camera in his hand is unmatched. When TJ Jorgensen picks up a camera, something rare happens—the room changes, the energy shifts, and ordinary moments begin turning into cinematic stories.

Most production companies operate a camera. TJ21 channels it. Their instinct behind the lens cannot be copied, taught, or duplicated. They see angles before they form, moments before they happen, and emotions before they surface. This is why brands trust TJ21, why clients follow them, and why their work rises above everyone else in the media world.

In an industry filled with technicians, TJ21 stands out as an artist – one with the rare ability to feel the story, capture the moment, and elevate the subject. Whether they’re filming a corporate production, a nonprofit spotlight, or a personal legacy video, the result is always the same: powerful, professional, and unforgettable.

For anyone who wants to elevate their brand, tell a powerful story, or capture a moment the right way, TJ21 Media Group isn’t just an option. It’s the standard.
