This is a good reminder for all of us in business – whether running a company or working as a freelancer, we all have to do a bit of selling ourselves.

The Importance of Being Global

When anyone talks about business these days, it’s usually a given that it’s on an international level. Whether it’s their potential customer base, their suppliers, their manufacturers or all of the above, somewhere along the way businesses large and small are interacting with much more of the world.

As a company that serves these businesses, we here at Magic have made it a razor-sharp focus to be engaged at a global level. It’s one thing to work with companies from all over the world (and we do). It’s quite another to go around the world with those companies.

Magic has been doing that for the majority of its 20+ years in business. Whether it’s a branding video shot in Germany or a large-scale corporate event in Puerto Rico, or even a commercial shot in Dallas, Magic brings the same high level of quality, planning and efficiency. Over the years, our clients have come to trust that we can guide them through all the hurdles and “opportunities” (as we’ll call them) that arise when producing videos and events around the world.

Magic’s Vice President of Operations, Jason Croft , a Producer and Director of Photography is a great fit with us for several reasons, but one big factor is his international focus and experience. He has traveled around the world shooting, lighting and producing. From shooting on top of a glacier in Alaska to a helicopter over Mexico City and even in the mountains of Zurich, Croft pulls off great quality imagery while efficiently handling the many details it takes to negotiate his way in and out of these places.

Above all else, Magic strives to truly co-create with their clients and do all that is necessary to help those clients get their message across, whether that message is on a stage, a television or on the side of a building.

Serving the many companies we continue to work with year after year is what keeps our juices pumping. Let us serve your company by bringing your vision to life. Wherever you are in the world.

Your Next Event – Engaging Your Audience

It’s what every event professional wants. It’s why you bring hundreds or even thousands of people within your organization together under one roof. Sure, there’s business to take care of. But how do you make that business fun? How do you increase retention of what you’re trying to convey? You engage. Whether it’s a high-energy show opener, fun closing video shot on site, or a full blown theme that runs throughout the event, it is critical that your audience is enthralled.

Last month, we did the full blown option for MetLife at the Encore Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Our theme was Saturday Night Live. In addition to pre-produced skits and a live “Weekend Update” style section, we created a an entire show opener from scratch highlighting their executives and our host. Take a look:
