"Well-planned, highly-creative"
Homeplace brought well-planned, highly-creative pitches to our early calls – they were on top of offering us an impactful video from the very beginning. As technologists, this creativity was completely aligned with what we want our brand to convey. Shoot preparation went smoothly with Homeplace Creative because they were able to leverage pre-existing relationships to help schedule interviews and shoot sites. Their familiarity with Ohio and its political leaders made our project stronger, delivering the best results.

"They are definitely pros at what they do."
From the moment I met Megan and Kyle at a presentation I knew I wanted to work with them. During my first meeting with Megan, she allowed me to share and truly listened to my ideas and vision. I loved her excitement for my project. When it came time to record the video, Megan and Kyle were amazing. They made me feel at ease in the studio. I appreciated the questions they asked to get me to tell my story authentically and deeply. They genuinely cared about the product I created and the story behind my ideas. The final product was beyond my expectations…the way they put together my story was more than I ever imagined. My product was showcased so well while accurately telling my story. Their care and attention to detail is impressive. It can be hard to be on video, sharing your story and a product or service you provide. Homeplace Creative will do everything to make it seamless, comfortable and an enjoyable experience. They are definitely pros at what they do.
