Signature Video Group

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am a digital product analyst at a company that backstops new home warranties in the province of Ontario.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Signature Video Group?

We had an issue with availability with our other video vendors, so we reached out to their team to help create content for our YouTube channel.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

The first project that we worked on with them was a full day of shooting for a video explaining things we thought people should know about conciliation inspections. We’ve also recorded various interviews with our staff for one of our annual public meetings, as well as an informational series as well.

What is the team composition?

We always work with three particular members of their team, one of whom is the leader of the company, which is really assuring for us. There are usually 5–6 people in total, some of whom are freelancers who vary from time to time. The other two regular employees handle contact post-shoot for us.

How did you come to work with Signature Video Group?

I had worked with them at a previous company and was really impressed with their work at the time, so I was willing to vouch for them when the need came up at my current company.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about $50,000 in total.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with them on a variety of projects throughout 2018–2019.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Their support for our team has had a huge impact on my staff’s stress levels just by being consistent and providing a vendor we can always count on for really high-quality work. They also go out of their way to source really cutting-edge camera technologies for our shoots, which helps make us look incredibly professional. We really appreciate their effort in that regard.

How did Signature Video Group perform from a project management standpoint?

I can’t speak to any project management tools they use, but they help us to plan out the shoot days very thoroughly. Their level of organization has made all of those processes very smooth. Communication is also always a priority, so it is very easy to reach them.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their crew makes our employees feel incredibly comfortable regardless of whether they are on camera for the first time, which makes for even better videos in the end. I think their personal touch is not something you could find with almost any other vendor.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I am a huge supporter of these guys and have really loved everything they’ve done for us.
