“I loved working with Emerson Street Media - Kyle & Jeff are the best! Smart, professional, and amazing strategists who did a fantastic job crafting an overview brochure involving complex material for a new division of our company. It became an integral part of our sales efforts. And that piece was so well received we hired them again to work with our CSuite and sales team to update our overall company narrative. I recommend Emerson wholeheartedly!”

"Jeff and Kyle, two absolute professionals! Their decades of media experience truly came through. I really enjoyed the process of making this video, I really got an opportunity to delve back into my brand and explore again Why we do What we do. We mapped out the entire project beforehand and they were even very supportive when I needed to reschedule due to a staffing conflict. From beginning to end they walked me through each step and placed my comfort at the top of the priority list."

“I recently worked with Emerson Street Media to produce two corporate videos to promote our business and use as a recruiting tool for new employees. The team was incredibly professional, organized and easy to work with and the final videos were polished and heartwarming. ESM also took the time at the beginning of the project to understand our business goals and then kept those goals in sight all the way through. I would recommend them to any business looking for a professional video production company.”
Emily Mooney
Director of Marketing and Communications
Bernstein Management Corp.
“Emerson Street Media have produced multiple classy and engaging short videos that we use to promote the company. Our story is a complicated one to tell, and Emerson started with understanding us, only bringing the camera in later when they were clear about who we are. It’s been a couple of years, and we are ready to make more content, but the videos are still fresh and accurately project our style, our brand, and our story. Most of us are not movie actors, but Emerson worked with us to be camera ready and confident for the shoots. All round a great experience.”
