Philadelphia Convention & Visitor’s Bureau

We recently just wrapped on an exciting video for the Philadelphia Convention & Visitor’s Bureau (PHLCVB).

The task was to create a video to persuade meeting planners of Asian owned businesses that the Philadelphia Convention Center was the viable venue city to host their conferences and Philly as a backdrop was the perfect city for their meeting delegates. View the video below:

Short Corporate film: Deloitte Global CEO 2015 Annual Message

We recently wrapped on a fun short film for Deloitte at the beginning of the year. The Deloitte team wanted to stray away from a teleprompter address for their annual CEO message and produce something really engaging and decided to produce a thought provoking short film and this is what ensued.

From CEO Barry Salzberg on his LinkedIn Blog:

“Earlier this year I sent a special video message to all Deloitte people worldwide, encouraging them to consider how they will make an impact that matters – for clients, our people and society – in 2015. I’m pleased to now share this video externally. A little peek into life (and lunch) at Deloitte.”

We were pretty pleased with the final product and really did feel like it was way more impactful than a teleprompter address would have been. Kudos to the Deloitte team for being innovative and going with something more creative and out of the box. With that said, how will you make an impact that matters in 2015?

We recently wrapped on a bunch of short promo videos for Solepack, an innovative company that has created a clean and convenient way to transport an extra pair of shoes. While some of these videos live on the web, the main objective was actually to produce :15 second spots strictly for Instagram.

Mike Sala, founder of the NY based company, reported great success in marketing his product visually to Solepack’s plethora of Instagram followers. Having a fresh, innovative product that people don’t know exists presents a tough challenge to market online since end users either don’t know what to search for online or just don’t know to search for it at all.

Building a buzz on Instagram and showcasing his products visually and casually through social media has allowed Sala to get his product out there. Check them out at thesolepack.com or follow them on Instagram at @solepack
