SERVICES:

•Commercials

The Marketing Division is ready to help you make your television or radio debut! With experience in the production of both audio and video commercials, the experts at The Marketing Division are able to take you from concept to a completed spot.

Our broadcast skills include concept development, script writing, pre-production planning, partnering with videographers for shooting video, and editing raw footage to create a finished commercial. Our rates for commercial production are the same as our print rates of $75 per hour. Outside vendors, such as videographers, will incur an additional charge.

Media buying is a service we offer as well. We have established relationships with all of the major media outlets, so developing a placement schedule is an easy task. If we place commercials for your company, we will bill you through The Marketing Division, as the media outlet will bill us directly.

Check out our recent shoot for our attorney client. He's being shot on a green screen, so that we can add the desired background images in post-production, along with the on-screen graphics and voice over. The finished spots are linked to the video portfolio!

Our graphic designer, Becca Kelley, is excellent with wedding invitation design. In fact, one of her designs was placed into production by the mega supplier, Jean M!
