We hired MiniFridge Media to produce multiple videos around specific resiliency topics.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We started by meeting with MiniFridge Media and putting down the requirements. Then, we worked on the script together and did the casting with their guidance. We set up an ambitious task: shooting multiple videos at the same location on the same day. From ideation to execution, MiniFridge Media led the process and helped us through the production to what I think is a cool end result.

We worked with 4–5 people, including a project manager and a creative director.

We worked together from March–April 2025.

MiniFridge Media met deadlines and stayed on budget. The team was fantastic, professional, and agile. They accommodated last-minute changes. Overall, the experience was great. MiniFridge Media rose to the challenge and took it to a new level. Shooting multiple videos with actors from our company wasn’t easy. They managed everyone, including the crew, and finished on time.

We communicated via phone calls, emails, and Google Sheets.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We were impressed with their creativity, agility, and professionalism. MiniFridge Media was a true partner. They had the same goal as us: making the best video possible within our constraints. Whenever we came up with a suggestion or idea, they improved it. It was a symbiotic relationship.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I was happy with how they handled things, their ideas, and their speed.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Minifridge Media?

We needed help with video production.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Minifridge Media produced a series of live-action commercials for us. We initially had scripts for the commercials, and the team planned the production and shoot. They scouted locations, rented the site, found talent, and provided equipment, a film crew, and a graphic designer, who superimposed our logo over the videos.

Minifridge Media also handled video editing and audio mixing. The whole project took about two months.

What is the team composition?

We mainly worked with Andrew, Minifridge Media's founder and president. The team contracted the film crew, so I didn't interact much with them.

How did you come to work with Minifridge Media?

I found Minifridge Media through a Google search. I was attracted to them because they had a good website and examples of their past work. Given that we had humorous scripts in mind and the team had done several funny videos, I felt they fit our project well. So, I reached out to them.

Andrew got back to me quickly, and we had a great discussion. He was very professional, accommodating, and interested in our project, mostly because we had created our scripts. Overall, we felt that Minifridge Media was a good fit for us, so we decided to move forward with them.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Testimonials were collected from real people about challenging experiences in their lives. In order to preserve their anonymity and dignity, voice over actors needed to be carefully selected. This required a broad range of ages, races, and cultural contexts. The ability to convey all of this, purely with tone and voice is both a testament to the talented voice actors, but also MiniFridgeMedia's direction. The result was authentic, sincere, and powerful. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Communicating emotionally potent testimonial content can be risky. It needs to truthfully honour the original source. MiniFridgeMedia delivered voices that captivated the audience. The proxies were nuianced and very real while preserving anonymity. This may not be an easily quantified metric. But witnessing the impact on audiences, I can attest to the persuasive and educational power of this work.

• Audience Engagement: Positive feedback from exhibit attendees on the audio play's effectiveness and relatability.
• Client Satisfaction: High client approval regarding content quality, casting, and execution.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Everything was delivered on time, in easy to use formats. The responsiveness was lightning fast and the whole team was extremely supportive when, as they do, changes cropped up. I have complete trust working with them.

What was your primary form of communication with Minifridge Media?

Virtual Meeting

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

They're extremely approachable. I'm able to email them a general inquiry and get into full swing production with a few simple conversations.

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

I have zero refinements to add. They're extremely high performing.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm Senior Producer at a full-service ad agency in the U.S. Under one roof we have direct mail and digital sales, content developers, media buyers, a signage print company, digital content marketing, data base developers, one of the Midwest's largest studios, full pre-and post production, and more. I drive video projects through the creative, writing and producing stages, as well as the vetting and hiring of on location crews.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Minifridge Media?

I needed a crew to do a multi-camera recording, and photographs, of a keynote presentation at a world leading company, along with documenting the activities around it, from registration, to executive panels, to interviews to cocktail hour. We also asked Minifridge to edit, on site, a day-of video featuring interviews that played at the end of the day to wrap the meeting.

What were your goals for this project?

We needed professional footage to thoroughly document the event that we could later edit into a variety of videos, from the Keynote to highlights of the day.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I researched production companies online and asked for bids based on my objectives. I contacted Minifridge based on the content of their website and the quality of their video work samples. I hired Minifridge because Andrew was knowledgeable about the industry, didn't balk at my requests, offered ideas and solutions to achieving our goals, and was willing to work within our budget.

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail.

I needed content to edit into several videos. Minifridge worked with me to schedule what we needed to do to work around the event schedule. We covered the event with two cameras, from b-roll to recording sessions and keynotes, to shooting interviews. In addition Andrew took the interviews while on site and turned around an edited video featuring interviews of participants that played at the end of the day; with graphics, no less.

What was your vendors' project management or feedback process?

Leading up to the shoot we had several pre-production meetings over the phone, and lots of email correspondence. Andrew was very active in helping plan the day to be sure we could capture everything we needed. He hired a crew, arranged the gear and showed up promptly the day of. During the shoot I never heard a complaint; they were always helpful and because of our pre-planning they were self-motivated to get what I needed on video. Our client was also very happy with their hustle and impressed with their professionalism.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The event and the subsequent videos helped cement the relationship between our client and his client. Everyone was thrilled with the final products and that client relationship, and ours, is still going strong.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow before, during and after the shoot went smoothly, and because we enjoyed working with Minifridge we have since rehired the crew.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Andrew and his crew are dedicated to providing a professional end product. My end product was the b-roll, which was well shot and composed, the interviews, which looked great and had high quality audio, plus event photography. They were careful to make themselves as invisible as possible to the meeting participants. I saw and appreciated the effort they went to to make sure I got exactly what I needed. And, they're nice, I really enjoyed getting to know them and work with them.

Are there any areas for improvement?

If you're looking to hire a crew, Minifridge Media is your professional solution.
