The One Union logo sign, lit blue behind glass

Since 1995

Three decades behind the glass

John McGleenan founded One Union in 1995 with a single room at 1 Union Street, in the heart of San Francisco’s advertising district. Today it’s five studios, shaped around the clients who come back year after year.

Three decades of advertising, television and film have passed through these rooms and out to audiences around the world. The work is meticulous, discreet and built around the picture. The consoles change; the standard doesn’t.
