| “We turned to StudentFilmmaker.com very late in our video/photo contest. We had the enticing prizes but not the network to inform people about our contest. Within one week of our deadline we received more than 40 photo entries and multiple videos as well. With the help of StudentFilmmaker.com, we were able to get the word of our contest out quickly and to a large number of people. This is the reasoning for our success. Jody from StudentFilmmaker.com was a huge help during the process. She was very easy to communicate with and truly guided us through this process. We were very pleased with the results. Thank you!”Joe Sullivan, 2013 Intern for The River Management Society 2013 Wild and Scenic Rivers Photo and Video Contest www.river-management.org “All I can say is, WOW! StudentFilmmaker.com really helps our festival reach out to up-and-coming directors. We love to receive new works from new talent for our renowned film festival. Our audiences love new and fresh perspectives, and your website is one our primary tools to attract entries. Thanks!” “The team at StudentFilmmakers.com hopped right on board to help us get our contest launched. Now a days it is hard to find people who care and are responsive. We found both with StudentFilmmakers.com. We are excited about working with them again.” “Dear StudentFilmmakers, Thank you so much for your help in making our online video contest a complete success! Through your efforts, we saw a dramatic increase in the quantity and quality of the submissions and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results.” “Working with Welch Integrated, Inc.’s StudentFilmmakers.com proved to be an excellent tool in reaching our targeted audience. The team was quick to respond, accommodating and very positive. We were able to reach a large audience in a short period of time. Job well done!” “We engaged StudentFilmmakers Magazine as part of our media budget for the Fuel The Change Video Contest, sponsored by the Ethanol Promotion & Information Council. We needed to reach a large, diverse audience in a very short period of time, with a particular focus on filmmakers with an active interest in promoting their skills and work through video contests. In particular, we wanted high quality submissions that helped to promote Ethanol as part of a more independent energy future for America. SFM had the combination of audience, skills and – in particular – enthusiasm for and interest in, this topic. Through a combination of newsletter-based advertising and our own dedicated e-mail sent to SFM’s broad base, we were able to stimulate a 500% increase in daily traffic to our site, and a dramatic uptick in both the quality and quantity of entries. SFM stayed close to the details from beginning to end, helping us to optimize the content and presentation for maximum impact – including tweaking our HTML to improve deliverability and cross-platform readability. Throughout the process, they were supportive and engaged, and provided us with great feedback. It was a pleasure to work with them, and we would do so again without hesitation.” “As a marketing and strategy company, we were novices when it came to video and filmmaking. Kim, Lien, and Jody took the time and made the effort to set us on the right track. Their invaluable advice and services were especially useful in helping us develop our video production community, ByteCaster.com.” “StudentFilmmakers has proven an effective tool for increasing traffic to our website. Emails to the StudentFilmmakers subscribers have given us access to a targeted audience of film lovers – a good fit for our marketing message.” CHIMERA had decided to produce a student film contest in honor of our 25th Anniversary and to raise awareness of our Lightbanks and other lighting tools with the emerging filmmakers market. The problem was that we wanted to reach out to a national, even global market effectively and yet on a small budget. We had done a bit of advertising on Kim Welch’s, StudentFilmmakers.com web site so I decided to see what ideas he may have. Kim picked up the idea and put together an all encompassing package for us including , advertising, hosting, trade show services, other publicity and judging. His organization did an absolutely wonderful job. Needless to say the contest was a big hit all around. “I just want to thank you for your dedicated work in advertising for zcomm’s CIDI Student Film Contest. Your efforts in working with our budget, always being available to answer questions and give me feedback have made this ad campaign a great success!! I truly look forward to working with you again very soon in the future.” “It was a pleasure working with you on our anti-piracy short film contest. You created a terrific site for the contest and managed it very well. Thank you for all your hard work and professionalism.” |
