Two Good Agencies.
Different in the Right Ways.
Mighty 8th Media is an Atlanta creative agency offering branding, web design, video production, social media, SEO, and PPC advertising.
This comparison exists to help you decide. We'll tell you what they do well, where we differ, and which option is likely the better fit for your situation. We'd rather you make the right choice — even if that's not us.
What They Offer
Atlanta-based, full-service
Mighty 8th offers branding, web, video, social, and digital advertising from one team in Atlanta. If local Atlanta presence is the deciding factor for your agency search, they're based there.
Where Sidestreet Is Different
Broadcast journalism background — not just creative production
Both agencies produce video. Sidestreet's production work comes from a broadcast television background — NBC News, ESPN, regional news. That's not just a credentials distinction; it produces different instincts about storytelling authenticity, news value, and what makes content actually move people. Mighty 8th makes great-looking commercial video. Sidestreet makes video that thinks like journalism.
PR and crisis communications in-house
Mighty 8th's services span creative and digital but don't include PR or crisis communications. Sidestreet operates a dedicated communications practice — media relations, crisis preparedness, executive communications — backed by broadcast journalism experience. For businesses facing reputational exposure, navigating a crisis, or wanting earned media alongside paid, that capability has no equivalent at Mighty 8th.
Church media as a full service practice
Sidestreet operates a purpose-built church media practice — live streaming, AV infrastructure, worship technology, social media, production for faith communities. For Atlanta-area churches, faith organizations, and ministries, Sidestreet's church media practice is a meaningful service category that Mighty 8th doesn't offer.
Southeast regional connectivity
Mighty 8th is Atlanta-based. Sidestreet is based in Spartanburg, SC — which places us at the center of the Southeast corridor connecting Atlanta, Charlotte, and the Carolinas. For businesses operating across that geography, Sidestreet offers regional continuity that a single-city Atlanta agency can't as naturally provide.
How to Decide
Mighty 8th Media is probably the right choice if: Atlanta presence is a hard requirement for your agency search and you don't have PR/crisis or church media needs.
Sidestreet is probably the right choice if: you need PR or crisis communications alongside creative and digital, want broadcast journalism-quality production storytelling, are a faith community, or operate across the Atlanta-to-Carolinas Southeast corridor.
If you're genuinely unsure, talk to both of us before committing. Any agency worth working with will give you a straight answer about whether they're the right fit — and so will we.
