OVERVIEW

Like it or not, you work for a media company. 

Todays’ world has changed the way we engage with clients, develop products, hire the best employees, and win new customers. The amount of “noise” in the marketplace is increasing by the day and it is essential that you communicate with your customers in a way that quickly grabs, and holds attention. The winner is being the best visual storyteller.

Simply said: If you confuse them, you will lose them.

He built his prominent career in business development at Avaya, Lucent Technologies, and GeoTel, a startup that was sold to Cisco Systems for over $1 Billion. He has launched dozens of new products and businesses successfully. His Hollywood credits include producing two theatrical films, working with the creator of the Batman franchise, and acting in various roles, including Entourage and Oceans 13. His blend of business marketing and Hollywood story give him a unique voice to story-based-marketing.

BACKGROUND & AUDIENCE

Background

Maury created the “Hollywood Confidential” based on his passion for helping entrepreneurs as well as ‘intrapreneurs.’ He identified a need for such content when he was with GeoTel, a startup sold to Cisco for over $1 Billion Dollars, and started his own company, Rip Media Group, which produced two theatrical films, and for seven years has created commercials, marketing campaigns, and visual stories for the Fortune 100 to hundreds of mid size and start up organizations.

 

Target Market

Marketing managers to executives. 

The organizational heads in Marketing and Business Development will all find the content useful as he gives examples of why the best customers are attracted to the best story (not a price tag).

 

Objectives

Our objective is to raise awareness that millennials through baby boomers are buying based on different criteria.  As awareness is raised about how to use ‘story’ to elevate your brand, you become not just a seller, but an influencer and an expert. We are here to support you when the story needs to be told visually.

Case Study: Brand Launch

GLOBAL BRAND LAUNCH

LEXISNEXIS launches a new campaign

LexisNexis (NYSE: ENL, $6B annual revenue) provides content-enabled workflow solutions in the corporate, legal, and academic markets. They believe in the integration of information and technology, with 15,000 employees spread across over 100 countries. LexisNexis has developed their global brand around studying risk management in order to stimulate growth and increase profitability.

Maury started relationship with LexisNexis starting with a story concept.  That concept was not only accepted, but turned in to the driving message for all product launches for the next two years.  Maury and his team have consulted and created visual media for multiple divisions. Each of their needs are unique and we’ve taken pride in delivering content that not only meets, but exceeds the individual customer requirements.  We think in terms of ‘our customers’ customer’.

Recently, our team put together a stunning motion graphic video to launch their Identity Led Policing platform. This video was played at major trade shows and is now displayed on their company website. Our design images from the video integrate into a full set up for their trade show booth.

The video created such a strong message that our team designed their trade show branding, printed materials, and branded t-shirts (all based on the video messaging). The team at LexisNexis were thrilled with the results.

“We were searching for the right agency, something innovative, creative, and cutting edge… Rip Media blew us away.“ – LexisNexis

Case Study: Micro-Brand

420% OF GOAL RAISED IN 30 DAYS

Micro-funding Kickstarter Campaign results in $167,000

A company with a challenge

Microduino needed funding to manufacture their microchips for the ‘maker’ market. We were thrilled when Microduino asked Maury to create something special for them.

They launched a Kickstarter campaign, needing to raise $40,000 in 30 days to get enough money to bring their new products to market. 

The result of our consultation was a story driven live-action video production aided with a modern feel through the use of strategically placed motion graphic overlays to enhance product details, but not focus on them.  This helped make the video both fun and informative. The Kickstarter video is capped by a personal plea from one of the founders, putting a human face to the company. 

“WE BLEW PAST OUR INITIAL GOAL IN JUST UNDER 48 HOURS!” – Microduino CEO

At the end of 30 days, they more than quadrupled their goal with a grand total of $167,570.
