Strategic Objective - The Vision for Tomorrow

Mon, 03 Apr 2006 01:51:35 -0400

Our goal is to begin with small church and non-profit commisioned works. These projects will meet the needs of local organizations that desire to produce relevant, content oriented videos. By facilitating the needs of traditionally non-film proficient organizations we can build a reptation for high quality work on tight budgets. Investing the profits from our begining projects, we will venture into aquiring our own material for production. By producing in house with the equipment purchased through contract work we can significantly increase our potential for realizing a return on our first production. The business will be located in Virginia Beach, Virginia, a location that provides relativly easy access to both the Northeast and South. Virginia Beach offers great potential for hiring quality employees as well as significant market for our services.

People - The Core of Who We Are

Mon, 03 Apr 2006 02:53:03 -0400

Two principals govern our interation with our employees, contractors, and clients. 1) Love your neighboor as yourself. 2) Do to others as you would have them do to you also. The first principal provides guidance for our management team. Their goal is not to maximize the utilization of each employee by taxing their talents and creativity beyond restraint. But instead to provide an environment of servant leadership where employee and employer know that each has the other best interest in mind at all times. "What's good for you, is good for me, is good for business." The second principal applies to our interation with contractors and clients. No business benefits in the long run by cutting corners and producing maginal work. We expect the best from our contractors and we will treat them like the best. From our clients we expect quality involvement. By providing us with valuable input we are able to provide services of exceptional quality to fit the client's budget and schedule.

Marketing Strategy - Getting the Word Out

Mon, 03 Apr 2006 03:02:41 -0400

Our marketing strategy is founded on building a reputation for high quality, exceptional service, timelyness, and budget management. As the first primary marketing tool, our demo reel provides clients with a first impression of the work that we have done and its quality, content, and mission. As the second primary marketing tool, our web site and online presence provide potential clients with a look at the quality we put into every detail of our work. As with every production company, we are only as good as our last project. As a production company with plans for producing our own films, we must look to instill confidence in our future investors with every project we complete for a client. Our future plans will require a significat invesment. We see our past clients, who are familiar with the work that we have done and are interested in the same goals, as potential investors in our films. If we cannont raise enough capital within our established client base, we will market our films to other religious organizations, corporations with similar goals, and private investors.
