TL,DR: Found perfect fit: cost, quality, timeframe, happy!…read more Our team at Cookpanion became GNY members last December. We knew we wanted to create videos to show off our product and user success stories, but we only had a few rough ideas of what we wanted to make. Only one person on our team had ever done video production before. We all knew video conversion rates were really high, and that this could be the foundation of our small marketing effort. We wanted 6-12 videos to tell the whole story, and a way to version them for more emphasis throughout the year. After reaching out for bids to 10 of the "Best Seattle Video Producers", we realized the price per video was going to be in the 7.5k-15k range with anywhere from a few $100 to a few $1000 for our idea about versioning the videos, and adding some graphics etc. Well this quickly jumped out of scope for us so we spent the whole month talking to freelancers, and trying to do it ourselves, but we were wasting too much time and energy. Then Ian C reached out to my coworker over LinkedIn saying they had some end of year membership deals. Coworker said it sounded like exactly what we were looking for, which is hilarious, because the day before I had decided we should all stop looking and backburner the project for a bit. Why they get 5-stars in my book! 1) The customer service was fast, and actually helpful. 2) Membership got us 6 product videos, a custom intrographic, music, screencapture, greenscreen testimonials, background image, and graphical callouts. 3) It was roughly $700 per video (after tax). Freelancers were more expensive at around $1k per video. 4) They turned around each video in a week. 5) Their membership gave us 12 hours of consulting/practice time with their producers to talk about script, storyboarding, how to prepare to be on camera, which was really the gamechanger. 6) The studio wasn't flashy or expensive. It had everything but was still startup, funky, cool. My boss liked that. 7) Also it was a mile away from our offices, near the pike place market. 8) The videos we made were great. We didn't need a $15k creative piece, we needed something simple, but with better quality than the lighting and sound we could do in our offices. 9) Best of all, our 6 customers who provided the testimonials in studio had a good time. 10) Also, the clients who were in studio before us were like Amazon, Microsoft, Starbucks so that was reassuring and a bit impressive. I guess no one can do it cheaper in house, haha. Anyhow, I thumbs up them. Much recommending. Ask for Ian, Eric, Troy, or Jeff. Cheers, Ian

It's not as if we have a shortage or radio-experienced progressives - Goldy, Dan Savage, Erin Hart... I CAN'T STAND STEPHANIE MILLER. And Malloy, for that matter. Air America made a huge mistake when it canned Morning Sedition and Sam Seder. KPTK could really establish itself - locally and nationally - if it courted and syndicated a morning show of Maron vs. Seder vs. Goldy. This would require spending some money, though, for something other than bumper stickers and sign-wavers - KPTK doesn't strike me as that kind of operation.

SO, I'm bumping them up for doing the right thing ans sticking by their products. Excellent Radio line-up, but I'm still staying away from the 1/2 off promotions!. --------------------------------------------------- THIS IS A GREAT AM AND LATE NIGHT PROGRESSIVE TALK LINEUP. The shows deserve 3-5 stars. Steph is wonderful, Thom is brilliant, and Mike Malloy the the soul that screams the rage I feel every night. I will agree that they need a local show, however.... THE SEATTLE HALF OFF IS A TOTAL F--KING SCAM. DON'T BUY IT!. To date I have seen several restaurants featured in the Seattle half Off decide that they no longer accept the certificates for various reasons. One mentioned that they were scammed by the promotion. Another told me that due to a change in management they didn't want to honor the certificates. I've lost more money on this SCAM than I hoped to save. I'll continue to listen [or pod cast], I'll even encourage people to listen and support the advertisers, BUT I WILL MAKE SURE I TELL EVERYONE TO AVOID MEDIAWEBCONNECT AND SEATTLE HALF OFF.

I like that it has educational stuff for the kids and documentaries on tings for reports but to me…read morethe most that is on there is rather dull. Or packed with people asking for pledges instead of commercials. I find that it skips over the ages 12-25 in terms of demographics because it shows kid's shows and things geared towards older people like the antiques roadshow. If they did a program that was more relevant for our age group more youth would watch it. I find that when it comes to educational TV the history channel and discovery are better. One thing that did not make logical sense to me was in Arthur the cool kids loved school, homework and things of that sort. Of course I watched this as a child in the late 90's so it could have changed. Most of the kids I knew that liked school had no social life and were often picked on. I don't feel it's right to cram more learning into a kids day. It's like coming home after a busy day of work and watching a show on how wonderful work is. As a kid I thought my parents were trying to brainwash me into liking school!

Like any media,, at times, they may feature a business or organization which has soem customer difficulties.. like all, they don't respond to calls to editor. I hope they read or listen to the comments. It always feel bad when a group whom I admire allows a business with poor customer service free coverage. Many deserve coverage.
