Feedback summary: 

The client has received positive feedback on the video from their sponsors and is appreciative of M-1 studios' ability to accomplish work and any last minute changes that required a fast turnaround. 

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the sponsorship director of Jonathan Witz Associates. We are a festival events company that produces large-scale concert, art, and food festivals in South Eastern Michigan. I sell our sponsorships for all of our events and fulfill all the sponsorships.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with M-1 Studios?

We had a need for television spots to publicize our events.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They provide live-action video production for us. They come to our events and shoot B-roll for the videos we plan to create the following year. We put together a script and M-1 Studios creates the spots from that. They add different sponsor logos and they do all the production. After we approve the videos, M-1 Studios delivers them to the station. We make suggestions on the footage we’d like and they select from what they have shot at events.

How did you come to work with M-1 Studios?

We had worked with different firms over the years, but we found M-1 7 years ago. My boss worked with Matt, who was in charge of M-1 at that time. He was interested in doing some trade work for us to start with, and we continued working with him after that. Since then, we’ve worked with them exclusively because we liked the product so much.

How much have you invested with M-1 Studios?

M-1 is a sponsor of our events. They work on 4 or 5 events a year and we pay them $500 to $1,000 for video production. Then we’ll give them a sponsorship package valued from $2,000 to $5,000, depending on the event.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working with them in January 2010 and the work is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?

I don’t have specific numbers but we share their work with our current sponsors for approval. They’ve been impressed with the work and we’ve been able to recommend M-1 to other companies.

How did M-1 Studios perform from a project management standpoint?

They have a quick turnaround time. Sometimes, our events need last-minute work and they’re always willing to do so on short notice. We communicate through email and phone.

What did you find most impressive about M-1 Studios?

We have a lot of last-minute projects and their ability to work with us is very helpful.

Are there any areas M-1 Studios could improve?

None.

The Review
Feedback summary: 

The client has received a lot of good feedback from their customers. They and the company's team generally love the video. They have been satisfied with the amount of views the video has received. They appreciate how personable and communicative the agency is.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

The company I work for is an automotive supplier. We sell sensors that go inside vehicles with our main product being TPMS which are the sensors that go inside tires to record tire pressure. I’m am the marketing and communications manager for all of North America including Canada and Mexico.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with M-1 Studios?

Our customers are normally distributors and retailers, but we also have a responsibility to make sure technicians that install our parts are doing it properly. We needed training videos showing the audience how to install and switch out our sensors properly.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We showed them other videos so they could see what we wanted to do. They told us what they would need to do the videos and came in to make sure the area was clean and that the set was going to work. They used the drone to take photos of our building. I did all the scripting of the videos, and they found ways to make the videos interesting. They did 15 videos in all for us. Right now, we’re working on a new corporate video. They take care of finding the right voiceover for the videos. 

How did you come to work with M-1 Studios?

I performed a Google search and called five videographers in our area. Two companies responded, and M-1 gave me a huge portfolio that was very detailed and professional. After meeting them, we trusted them immediately.

How much have you invested with M-1 Studios?

Almost all of the videos have cost under $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working with them in August 2015, and they’ll be an ongoing partner for us.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?

Our customers love the videos. I know our team likes them better than our previous set we had. We’ve been satisfied with the number of views the videos have received. 

How did M-1 Studios perform from a project management standpoint?

I work mostly with Mike, and he’s great with adding input on the projects. We have a couple of meetings before the shoot to make sure we have everything we need.

What did you find most impressive about M-1 Studios?

They’re probably my favorite vendor. They’re very personable and very communicative. They know our product and our technician very well, so they’re able to make sure that what they’re creating is appropriate for our customers.

Are there any areas M-1 Studios could improve?

No.
