The Space
Selling advanced technology to federal government buyers isn’t like selling to anyone else.
Clipper Defense helps AI and tech companies translate deeply complex products into clear, compelling pitches for high-stakes federal government buyers.
The stakes are high, the audiences are technical, and the work is often the first — and sometimes only — shot at making the case.
The centerpiece of that pitch? A short-form video.
A few minutes to explain complex technology. A few minutes to hit every mark that matters.
A few minutes to convince a skeptical audience that the product is ready for what comes next.
No pressure.
The Need
As Clipper’s client roster grew, so did the tempo.
The work started coming in waves — multiple complex video projects landing at once, each with its own tight deadline, each for a product that demanded real technical fluency to get right.
Clipper needed a video partner who could scale with that demand without ever giving up quality.
In federal sales, first impressions are the whole game. The videos needed to be precise, on-message, and engaging to audiences who see a lot of pitches.
They needed to be done right the first time. And they needed to be delivered on deadline, every time.
That's when they brought in BROADSTOKE.
The Work
I got up to speed fast. Acronyms on acronyms. AI, ML, autonomy, data systems, advanced hardware, and enough high-tech jargon to make your head spin.
This world has its own language, and there’s no room for miscommunication when a company’s reputation is on the line.
Every video follows a proven, repeatable process — but every client’s technology is different.
The job is translating genuinely complex capabilities into clear, compelling communication that lands with the audience the client is trying to reach, and that holds up to close scrutiny from the people watching it.
And when the pipeline spikes — which happens in any fast-moving business — I jump in.
Multiple projects at once?
Last-minute assets?
Shifting timelines?
Doesn’t matter. The video ships on time.
THE RESUTLS
25+ projects delivered.
Zero missed deadlines.
Work repurposed beyond the brief — including as featured content on the conference floor.
Trusted on some of the most technically complex products in the industry.
Wes and team have been instrumental to our success and consistently produce high quality videos given the complicated nature of the products we work on and the tight deadlines for our projects. Broadstoke always manages to impress our team and our clients with their high skill and work ethic. We can’t think of a better partner to have.”

The Partnership
Here's the part that doesn't fit neatly into a stat:
Clipper is growing fast. So is BROADSTOKE.
There’s an unspoken alignment working with a company building at the same pace and with the same standards you hold yourself to.
We’re not just vendor and client — we’re partners who’ve figured out how to move together.
The real signal of how well the work lands?
Clipper’s clients have pulled BROADSTOKE’s videos into contexts they were never originally scoped for — featured on the floor at industry conferences, used in marketing campaigns, surfaced as showpieces of the product itself.
When a client reaches for a video well beyond the deliverable it was made for, that’s the work speaking for itself.
When you find that kind of partnership, the work gets even better.
The Takeaway
In this kind of work, there’s no “close enough.” The video either lands or it doesn’t. It ships on time or it doesn’t. The client is proud to put it in front of their audience — or they aren’t.
25+ projects in.
Zero deadlines missed.
Work the clients keep reaching for.
That's the work.
