It is with immense pride that we reflect on our recent near 3 year long collaboration with the house-hold Canadian institution, EQ Bank. This Canadian Titan financial entity entrusted us with the delicate task of curating, designing, and developing an in-house studio, tailored exclusively for the production of compelling live visuals. Andrew Moore, the esteemed CEO of EQ Bank, frequently graced live shows. While his content was always impeccable, the visual polish occasionally left room for finesse. Recognizing this, we orchestrated an 'instant-on' studio that unerringly presents Mr. Moore and his distinguished team under the most flattering illumination. The metamorphosis of the space is nothing short of remarkable. Check out the accompanying photographs that chronicle this transformative journey.

2020 was certainly one of the more memorable years in recent history. But I hope that for you like us it also presented some unusual opportunities. Opportunites that required a new prespective. Our demo reel is all about the power of story and how we can tell yours in a way that entices and engages your audience.

Ok, let's be real. Cool videos are a dime a dozen. Just look anywhere on Youtube, Facebook and every other social media platform and you'll see what I mean. So how will your company set itself apart? Yes, you do STILL need to invest in creating engaging videos to get the attention of your target audience but to be honest with you, I am just tired of seeing some of my clients invest so much into the videos we make without having a strategy in place to get it out in front of their audience. But should you get the targets to even see what you've created? Or better yet, entice them that yours in the service or product they've been looking for? With our video marketing campaigns, it's not just about beautiful visuals, although that is a huge part of it and essentially the first step in what we build. It's about getting your incredible content in front of your target audience and creating conversion. There is no point to this if you, your company or organization can't see the return on your investment. Book a call with one of our experts today. It's a free no-obligation consultation that allows you to grasp what the big picture looks like for your company.

#Shinebright 2019 is electric. Let's come together and experience the most heart warming event of the year.
We've gone through some of the most trying projects and come out with the most incredible experiences. But what we gained from a progressive year was an depth of storytelling. Understanding people, their ideas, their emotions and their desires allows us to tap into a creative pathway that really engages audiences. At Black & White Media we have been telling your stories since 2013 but as we come into our 5th year, its only getting better. We've had some amazing clients in 2019 but we can't be more excited for what is yet to come. We'd love for you to join us on our journey as we aim to become a house hold name in the Greater Toronto Area for video production.
Click the link in the description to see the full video... As a business, at the end of the day, there is only 1 real reason you are considering a video. You want the result. You want to sell your product or service. That's always been the goal and it will alway be the reason. So here are some statistics that will help push you over the edge and understand why this is not just a trend. Video is an important tool.

Do you ever wonder why some companies selling the same products or providing similar services, seem to be miles ahead on thier conversion rates from their online marketing? I present a case for video. We often get questions by businesses of all sizes about the value of video. However, the evidence is clear and the stats are coming back trumps up for video as the most effective and interactive form of content marketing. By using video to ask and understand a few key questions you will be able to reach your ideal client and communicate with them in a meaningful way. 1) Who are you and how can you fill the gap in the needs of your customers? 2) Who are your customers? 3) What makes you different than your competitors? These 3 simple questions help us create the right video with the right message for your specific target audience. Let us tell your story in a cinematic way that engages your audience and drives revenue. blackwhitemedia.ca to book your free creative consultation.
