Videos that connect.
Our videos have personality:
Your personality.
Because it’s not just a video. It’s your message.
It’s your story.
Our videos create a connection between you and the people you want to reach.
Whether your audience is prospective students for a college/university, new clients for a business, or potential donors for a fundraising effort – we’ll tell your story in a compelling way to get the results you need.
Personal
A video needs to make a personal connection with the viewer to be effective.
To get potential clients excited about you they have to understand not only what you do, but why you care so much about what you do, and why they should choose you.

Storytelling
Everyone has a story to tell. The issue is – how well is your story being told, and how effective is it?
We have the creativity and practical experience to tell your story in a way that connects with your audience to get the results you need.

We started our company in 2000 with only two clients, and those clients still work with us on a regular basis.
Patterson Media Team has been indispensable to York College. Whatever we throw at them, they produce a hit! We have worked with them on a range of projects, from academic program videos to several productions for the College’s 50th anniversary. They listen, they work hard, and they produce what we want every time
Patterson Media Team has been a true partner for the Norm Brodsky College of Business at Rider University. We have worked with Steve on multiple projects, from video profiles of prominent alumni for our Hall of Fame gala to promotional videos about our Executive MBA and Graduate Business programs. Whether the videos are being used for recruiting, digital advertising, fundraising, celebratory events, etc., Patterson Media Team consistently delivers the messaging we need – pretty much on the first cut of the video, so there is never the need for a lot of back-and-forth and re-edits to refine the content.
Steve has deep knowledge and experience of both Higher Ed and our university and college which results in videos that capture the essence of what we offer. Our on-site video shoots are efficient, professional and, frankly, a pleasure to do (a sentiment I have heard from all the faculty and VIP alumni who have worked with Steve). Getting to the final cut is similarly efficient, given his detail-oriented and creative approach.
Patterson Media Team simply makes us look good. The quality of their work combined with their creative passion helps us tell our story in the most compelling way possible. Their team pays attention to every single detail, and this, combined with flexibility and critical feedback are essential to the development of a captivating final product. They have become an extension of our storytelling team.
Video Production. Pain free.
Much of our work is done in a documentary style, using real-people interviews – your people, your students, your clients – to tell your story with enthusiastic, honest testimonials. We weave the story together with those interviews and dynamic action footage.
We’re the best there is at making people feel comfortable in front of the camera – because when they feel at ease they do a better job of telling your story.
We also do our best to take the hassle out of video production. Want to be with us on the shoot to oversee the production? That’s great! We value your input. But if you’re busy we have the experience to get the job done without full-time supervision.
The Process
To get started on a project we’ll schedule a short pre-production meeting to learn the messaging the video needs to convey.
We’ll ask for details about the key players (usually people that must be included in the video) and the locations to be used.
And then we’ll run with it.
We’ll deliver a first cut of the video that is within 90% of your expectations, and we’ll be happy to re-edit till we get it exactly the way you want.
Pain free.
