MACIAS PR publishes quarterly media reports that detail the publicity we continually secure for our clients. I do that because I want to be transparent with all potential clients.

PR firms frequently get a bad rap of operating under a cloud of mystique. It’s not like that with MACIAS PR. We put our record out there for everyone to see and scrutinize.

Demonstration and Sales Videos – Quality Story Telling

Posted on by Mark Macias

MACIAS PR has produced sales and promotional videos for clients in both the B2B and B2C space. We crafted their message, shot their interviews, produced and edited the videos within their brand guidelines. Our team has worked with tech and healthcare startups, as well as larger organizations in the B2C space.

MasterCard, the Gansevoort Hotel Group, the Observer Group and the Soho House are some of the bigger-named brands that we worked with to promote their story to consumers. You can see some of our stories on Youtube.

MACIAS PR recently produced a sales video for a B2B healthcare client, helping them craft a message that introduced their services to healthcare providers. It helps to have a short visual that demonstrates the value of your product when the message is complicated. The finished video explains the value behind their product.
