In 2019, Doylestown native Chris Baccash had a best ever result at the Bucks County Classic Pro Cycling Race. He and his team looked forward to what the 2020 season could bring — racing the Leadville 100 at the top of the list. Four months later came a devastating diagnosis, life-saving surgeries, and a global pandemic. In the midst of the adversity, Chris finds the key to climbing the mountain ahead.

“We hired Ryan to be our videographer for our wedding in March 2021. With family and friends unable to attend our wedding due to Covid, we really wanted to capture the entire evening to share with them, Ryan was amazing and captured the entire day perfectly! He was responsive to any questions we had and really spent the time to create a beautiful video that we will cherish forever!”
“We hired Ryan to create two promotional videos for our council. Ryan worked closely with us to make sure the videos were exactly what we wanted. He had all of the necessary equipment that allowed him to create high-quality projects. We would highly recommend him and look forward to working with him again in the future!”

The Value of Video
Engage, Educate & Activate Your Audience.
The more emotionally captivating the content, the easier it is to consume, & more likely your viewers are to take action — that’s our simple, subtle strategy.
Establish Credibility.
Using video to represent your brand illustrates the value you offer in ways other mediums simply cannot. The combination of sight & sound grants you the opportunity to make an intimate connection & leave a lasting impression on your target audience—without ever meeting in person.
Did you know search engines like Google measure the credibility of web content by the length of time people engage with it? You’re 53 times more likely to appear on the first page of a search if you have a YouTube video embedded on your landing page because Google owns YouTube!
Expand & Understand Your Reach.
There are some very concrete ways to determine the effectiveness of your video content. Beyond the basic measurements of social engagement, likes, comments & shares, video also enables you to measure click-through rates, the demographics of viewers, the number of times a video was watched & even for how long. Knowing the specifics of what is working & what is not can provide tremendous insight into how to keep successfully moving forward.
