Michelle Michalko

Founder & Principal, Digital Realm Agency

Michelle Michalko is the Founder and Principal of Digital Realm Agency, a New York–based creative agency specializing in video-led communications and storytelling for public institutions, tourism organizations, and cultural entities.

With a background that spans professional film and television performance, creative direction, and institutional communications, Michelle brings a rare dual perspective to public-facing storytelling, understanding both how stories are crafted on screen and how they are received by real audiences.

Michelle is a SAG-AFTRA union actor, with experience working on union-regulated film and television productions. This background informs Digital Realm Agency’s approach to production: disciplined, professional, and deeply respectful of process, collaboration, and accountability. Union standards have shaped Michelle’s understanding of what it means to deliver work that meets high expectations, tight timelines, and complex approval environments, skills that translate directly to public-sector and institutional projects.

Through Digital Realm Agency, Michelle leads strategy, client relationships, and creative direction, ensuring that every project communicates clearly, authentically, and with purpose. The agency is intentionally structured as a lean, senior-led team, allowing clients to work directly with experienced leadership rather than junior production layers.

Michelle is particularly focused on helping organizations communicate complex initiatives to the public, build trust through transparency, and tell stories that reflect the people and communities they serve.

Digital Realm Agency is a New York State–registered vendor, with Woman Business Enterprise (WBE) certification currently under review, and works with clients across New York State and nationally.
