Joseph Orlando was a graphic design intern with us during the summer of 2013.

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone from us here at MessageMakers!
In the spirit Valentine's Day, we wanted to take today to express our love and appreciation to everyone who has supported us over the past 40 years (and counting). To all of our clients we have done business with, thank you.
We stumbled across an old video production tip sheet and "introduction" to video production resource from a while back (almost exactly 10 years ago) and wanted to compare our decade old video production process to today's. Although some things have changed, such as the technology and distribution methods, the fundamentals of the video production and creative flow have been the same for years.

Here at MessageMakers, we interview a lot of people. Quite frankly, it's one of our favorite parts of what we do. We love getting to meet and learn from all different kinds of interesting people.

Here are some photos from our day of decorating along with how our staff is planning to celebrate the holidays!
"I'm going to spend time over the holidays with my family.
"The archetypal story unearths a universally human experience, then wraps itself inside a unique, culturally-specific expression. Stereotypical stories suffer a poverty of both content and form, confining themselves to narrow experience dressed in nonspecific generalities.
MessageMakers would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! We hope your weekend is filled with happiness, positivity, love and A LOT of food! In the holiday spirit, we asked some of our employees how they're celebrating this Thanksgiving weekend.
We interviewed our video producer and director of photography, Rob Sumbler, to ask for some of his tips and tricks for good production during an interview style video.
