I found Harry and Marv on LinkedIn. We needed to shot in Austin, TX and I came across Perry Grone's profile. I checked out their website, looked at some sample work and reached out to connect.

The process was simple. We connected on LinkedIn, set up a time to chat, discussed our needs and what they would be able to provide for us. A few days before the shoot, we gathered the whole team who would be there the day of to make sure all roles and responsibilities were clear. The day of, Perry came with all of the equipment needed to get us the exact result we were looking for. He made all of our talent feel super comfortable in front of the camera.

The communication was very easy. I worked directly with Perry, so there were really only 2 people on the coordination side. We chatted via email and as we got closer to the shoot we started communicating via text for fast response and efficiency. No complaints about communication! He replied quickly and effectively to all of my messages.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What was most impressive was that fact that 1 person single handedly created the content we needed. There were a lot of moving parts (literally, since a dog was one of our talent in the shoot) and he did it all very stress free. It was light, easy and no pressure the day of the shoot.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

I truly don't think it could have gone any better. I would not have changed a thing!

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Harry and Marv Media, and what were your goals?

Our company was hosting a technology team off-site summit and we wanted to capture some employee interviews to help recruit and hire the kind of talent that the video would resonate with.

SOLUTION

We looked for video production teams in the Austin area via Upwork. A team member found Harry and Marv and we were impressed with their reel of work. I first meeting/interview with them went well and we proceeded immediately.

The videos have been well received internally and are awaiting public release on our social platforms.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

I felt confident in the project management on Harry and Marv's side. They were prepared with questions when we did meet and never repeated any incorrect info or details. They were available by phone, video and email.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They delivered precisely what we were looking for. Their turnaround time was also impressive. The most impressive thing was there was a hiccup on one of the shoot days and the videographer we expected to be there couldn't make it due to an emergency, but Harry and Marv were able to replace and deliver exactly what we were looking for without any worry from our side!

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

I thoroughly enjoyed the experience working with Harry and Marv. The only thing I could think to improve is maybe some sort of video review/commenting platform (like Frame.io) were versions are more clearly hosted and comments could be timestamped and collectively seen, rather than sharing via a Google Drive. The Google Drive solution was not a problem though.
