That’s A Wrap – Week 32

DBCC, AARP, DBT and #MILSUMMIT

Another meeting is down in the books for the team as the Delaware Black Chamber of Commerce plans for the second annual gala. With the 2nd year gala approaching in almost less than a month, we gathered to fine-tune details and provide an amazing event for everyone attending.

Next, the team worked together with Sheila from AARP of DE to make the final edits for the #MILLSUMMIT Podcast featuring Anthony Oneil and Blake “The Brain” Saunders. If you like a good conversation about financial literacy, relationships, and a plethora of other amazing topics, make sure you give the podcast a listen.

To end this week off, the team stayed focused on prepping and creating plans for upcoming projects like Delaware Business Times 40 Under 40 shoot, the SiloSmashers (in June, SiloSmashers was named to the Washington Post’s 2022 Top Workplaces!) shoot, and all things Fun Dept.

Thanks for checking us out through another Inspiring, Creative, and Productive Week! 

Stay Awesome and Stay Tuned!

That’s A Wrap – Week 28

Fun with Goodwill of DE, Fitness and Friendship with Jamie Hess, Getting Ready for the DBCC Gala

We kicked off the week with Jamie Hess discussing details for her next Backyard Burn event on July 17th. The Backyard Burn series was created in the pandemic as a space for women to come together and celebrate fitness & friendship, while enjoying some fresh air and fun. The team will be capturing audio and video footage at the event to be used on social media to promote future events and highlight some sponsors.

With the Delaware Black Chamber of Commerce 2nd Annual Gala approaching, the team headed to the Chamber’s office to work out the final details and prepare for the upcoming event. Did you get your tickets yet? We will be there with bells on and can’t wait to celebrate and honor the Chamber and its members!

To wrap up the week, our company engagement division, The Fun Dept, went to several Goodwill locations to give them a chance to pause and unwind. This is the 1st of two groups The Fun Dept will be traveling to this month. The second being on July 28th, when they’re heading to southern locations. Definitely check back to see all the FUN and thrilling activities!

Thank you for another Inspiring, Creative, and Productive Week!

That’s A Wrap – Week 27

The 4th of July, Clean Air, and FUN!

This week started with the team celebrating Independence Day. We 4th-ed by engaging in activities like going to the beach, enjoying nature, and rooting on the Fightin Phils at Citizens Bank Park. How did you 4th this year?

Next, the team worked with the Air Quality Partnership of Delaware creatively planning for their Air Quality Awareness Week. One of our objectives is to create a custom Tropo social media filter to drive the “Clean Air Challenge” forward. We should all do our share to clean the air!

On top of that, the team is cooking up some fun for WSFS to help The Fun Dept create another video for their trivia challenge series all about integration.  We are excited to see the completion of this project and glad to see WSFS become a happier, healthier, and more connected workplace!

Thank you for another Inspiring, Creative, and Productive Week!

That’s A Wrap – Week 23

In-Studio with The Jefferson Awards Winners

Jefferson Award winners came to the studio this week. Winners were in the studio to explain their stories more and discuss why the award is important to them. The King Creative crew set up the production with a green screen, cameras, and lights to bring the vision to life. We helped guide the conversation and help the winners express their thoughts and ideas. The Jefferson Awards brings attention to those who serve, and in doing so, generates ripples of good.

The Fun Dept was called for their expertise this week to help W.L. Gore to get down and experience their island side. The Gore team went through several team-building activities and even participated in a tiki hut bar challenge. That was refreshing to see…

Amongst other things the KC crew worked on Dcrac edits and prep for the Nemours prom. We coordinated with the stage crew to give the kids a prom they will always remember.

Thanks for another Inspiring, Creative, and Productive Week!

Stay Awesome and Stay Tuned!

That’s A Wrap – Week 19

DCRAC’s own Rashmi Rangan had us busy filming content to share their foundation’s story and also conducted two interviews to help fuel their mission forward.

Our employee engagement division, the fun dept, was busy this week, first heading to New Jersey with Janssen Pharmaceutical to bring their team together and connect with some custom designed family reunion-themed fun; and then down at Killens Pond helping the Department of State relax, unwind, and get active at their Employee Training Picnic!

Delaware Today and Multiplying Good called on us to capture footage at their Jefferson Awards event to highlight this inspirational event and craft content to showcase the various winners for a year-long campaign.

What an Inspiring, Productive, and FUN week!

Stay Awesome and Stay Tuned…

That’s A Wrap – Week 15

Our Long-planned Arm Westling Documentary is Finally Started, and Some Local Nurses Did Good!

Delaware Today called on us to produce the event videos for their 10th annual Excellence in Nursing Awards. It was an honor to feature these heroes in our community and have them in the studio.

Post Production on a full feature-length documentary officially began called Hands Down – An Arm Wrestling Docu Journey. The journey takes us to Budapest, Hungary…  Romania, Poland, and beyond give us a glimpse into the world of arm wrestling and features an individual with spina bifida overcoming all odds.

We also did a few site visits for upcoming Live Stream Productions, continue to pump out edits for the Bringing Values to Life series for the fun dept., and add graphic elements to THE TILLY ESCAPE video for the Seaford Museum, and enjoyed another CREATIVE, PRODUCTIVE and INSPIRING week.

Stay Awesome… and Stay Tuned!

That’s A Wrap – Week 14

99 Days In; 266 Days Left To Complete the 2022 KC To-Do List…

It’s been a busy few weeks here at the office! We’ve finally wrapped up a few big projects that have been in the works for months, and we’re excited to see the final results. We’ve also kicked off a few new campaigns and initiatives that we’re hopeful will be just as successful. Of course, with all of this activity comes a lot of work. But it’s the good kind of work that keeps us busy, engaged, and excited about what we’re doing. We’re looking forward to seeing what the rest of the quarter has in store!

The fun dept’s Bringing Values to Life series is in full swing and posting across platforms on their YouTube Channel, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram profiles.  The series focuses on how the company brings its values to life through everyday interactions and decision-making. The series highlights how the company’s values play out in everyday work life through real stories from employees.

From the very beginning, The Fun Dept has been built on a foundation of strong values. These values guide everything we do, from the way we interact with our team members to the way we serve our clients. In “Bringing Values to Life”, we take a closer look at how those values play out in real-life situations. We explore how it shapes the way we operate as a company. We also hear from team members about how our values have impacted their lives both inside and outside of work. If you’re interested in learning more about how The Fun Dept brings its values to life, be sure to check out the series!

“Tough Conversations”

It can be tough to have difficult conversations – whether it’s with a loved one, a friend, or even a co-worker. Nobody wants to be the person who stirs up drama, but sometimes these conversations are necessary. That’s where Monique Helstrom comes in. She’s set to launch a new course that will help us all tackle tough conversations head-on. You can learn more about that at moniquehelstrom.com. 

We put the finishing touches on the pilot episode of the #MILLSUMMIT Podcast hosted by Blake the brain and are scheduling Episode 2. 

As the saying goes, April showers bring May flowers. But April showers aren’t bad either – just take a look at these photos by the Brandywine River. The team caught some amazing shots this week! They remind us that even though the weather might not always be perfect, there is always something beautiful to appreciate. Even though we might be looking forward to the warmer weather and brighter days of May, let’s not forget to appreciate the beauty that April brings. After all, it’s only here for a short time… So next time you find yourself caught in a rain shower, remember that May flowers are on their way!

As new projects develop and adventures begin we are thankful for another PRODUCTIVE, INSPIRING, and CREATIVE Week. 

Stay Awesome and Stay Tuned!

That’s A Wrap – Week 13

92 Days In And We’re Just Getting Started!

As we close out the first quarter of 2022, we can’t help but look back at all we’ve accomplished over the last 13 weeks.

It’s hard to believe that we’re already a quarter of the way through the year. It seems like only yesterday that we were making New Year’s resolutions and vowing to turn over a new leaf (and spring cleaning!) And yet, here we are 13 weeks later with (hopefully) a few less pounds and a few more dollars in the bank! As we look back at all we’ve accomplished, we can’t help but feel proud of everything we’ve achieved. From personal milestones to professional achievements, there’s been a lot to celebrate! Of course, not everything has been perfect; we’ve had our share of challenges and setbacks, but we’ve faced them head-on and come out as victors! And now as we move to the second quarter, we’re more determined than ever to achieve our goals and make this year a success! (Just like what we did last year!)

Nick is Back

Nick, the Godfather of Fun was back in to shoot the last of The Fun Dept’s “Bringing Values to Life” Series Volume One. He was in high spirits and is more enthusiastic than ever. He is on the mission to spread fun and laughter in the workplace, and we can say he’s doing a great job! He’s always happy to oblige. With Nick, we are definitely on a treat. We’re all looking forward to seeing the final installment for the first volume. Break a leg, Nick!

More Coming Soon…

Interest for upcoming projects kept pouring in, and we even snuck in a last-minute shoot with our friends from our research and consulting group, Creative Class out of Colorado and London. It was a blast, as always, and we’re so happy to have such talented friends on our network. It’s always exciting to work with new people from various walks of life and explore a different universe of creative ideas. We’re already looking forward to our future collaborations! 

In the meantime, we’ve got our hands full with all of the exciting new projects in the works. As you can see, we’ve been very “happy-busy” lately! 

Say Hello to Quarter 2!

And just like that, another Creative, Inspiring, and Productive week closes out the First Quarter.

We’ve produced a wide range of content this quarter and helped our dear clients promote their events, live stream their presentations, and raise funds for a greater cause. We’re truly proud of what we’ve accomplished so far and we can’t wait to see what the rest of the year has in store for us!

And just like that, another Creative, Inspiring, and Productive week closes out Quarter Number 1 filled with projects ranging from commercial videos, music videos, personal branding videos, TikToks, event promotional videos, live streams, fundraising videos, TedX Presentations, industry training videos, virtual presentations, employee engagement videos and more.

Stay Awesome and Stay Tuned!

That’s a Wrap – Week 12

Week 12 Brought Drama, Fun, a Little Spring Cleaning And We Smell Steak In The Wilmington Air

This week was a busy one for The Fun Department, as we shot more video content for their upcoming info-marketing series, Bringing Values to Life. The series is scheduled to debut on April 1st, 2022, and it will showcase the importance of living life with integrity.

Nick Gianoulis is known as the Godfather of Fun for good reason. He has a natural ability to make any situation more enjoyable, and his infectious laughter is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Nick is also a master of the improvisational arts, and he’s always game for trying something new. Whether we’re brainstorming ideas for a client project or just goofing around during a break, working with Nick is always a blast!

The Big Dill

If you were in downtown Wilmington, Delaware, you may have noticed a GIANT PICKLE near our studio on Market Street. Well, that’s Dilly from The Big Dill, and we were recording TikToks to break the internet and assist in the promotion of their social media material.

Shining Spring Cleaning!

There’s something about the start of a new season that makes us want to declutter and start fresh. Maybe the warmer weather and longer days make us feel like we can finally tackle that pesky project we’ve been putting off. Or maybe it’s the promise of new beginnings that comes with springtime. Whatever the reason, there’s no better time than now to do some much-needed spring cleaning. We threw away some of our superfluous stuff to make place for improvements!

Wilmington Drama League

We also helped with the lighting design for the Wilmington Drama League‘s current production of August Osage County. Though we are not trained professional actors, we like to think of ourselves as “theater aficionados.” And what theater-goer doesn’t enjoy a nice, dimly lit room?  The end result is a lighting design that perfectly complements the play’s tone and themes. We’re extremely proud of our work, and we’re looking forward to seeing how audiences react to it. Break a Leg!

Bardea Steak on the Rise!

We’re keeping a close eye on our friends at Bardea Steak‘s progress, and it appears that they are making great strides toward opening! Located in the heart of downtown, the sleek and modern steakhouse has been under construction for months. However, it appears that the wait is almost over, as Bardea Steak is now entering its final stages of development. Every foodie in Delaware is so excited for sure!

Week 12 was again another week of inspiration, creativity, and productivity. Keep being awesome, and we’ll see you next week!

Stay Awesome and See You Next Week!

That’s A Wrap – Week 11

Week 11: Food, Music, Fun, and Empowerment.

Music for Liberia!

L.I.B and Moontown are on a mission to offer amazing music and opportunity to the people of Liberia. They were recently back in the King Creative studio producing music and capturing video content with Lady Mouthphy, Detrench, and Herb Middleton. These artists are all extremely talented and have a lot to offer the world of music. Keep an ear out for new music from L.I.B and Moontown!

Great Goodwill

When our friends from Goodwill of Delaware and Delaware County came in to record a piece for a launch video, they had a blast inspiring their employees to be genuine brand ambassadors through cooperation with the King crew. The team was so energized and excited to be a part of the project that they completely forgot about the cameras and acted natural. We are absolutely certain that this amazing footage will inspire others to be their best selves and have a lot of fun while doing it! Thank you, Goodwill, for reminding us all that life is meant to be enjoyed.

At Steak

Our adventure with Bardea continued, documenting their story as they work towards opening their latest concept, Bardea Steak, is slated to open soon, and we’ve been documenting their progress every step of the way. We’ve also been providing insight into the restaurant industry and celebrating their recent achievements. It’s been a lot of work, but it’s all been worth it. We can’t wait to see what Bardea Steak has in store for us! Vogue Magazine includes Bardea as one of the most anticipated restaurant openings of 2022. It’s been a long and winding journey with Bardea, but we’re finally nearing the finish line!

Real Teens…

Aside from that, the post-production crew was hard at work on projects like the WBC @ True Access Capitals Her Story Our History event videos, the Boys and Girls Clubs Real Teens… and, of course, the never-ending stream of cat videos. (We’re looking at you, Steve.) It’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it. And we’re always happy to oblige.

Real Problems…

Real problems don’t exist, right? If something’s bothering you, it’s probably just in your head. You’re probably just being oversensitive or reading too much into things. Just relax and stop making a big deal out of everything.

Wrong. Real problems are very real, and they can have a major impact on your life. Just ask Harriet Tubman.  She was born into slavery, and she endured years of physical and emotional abuse. But she didn’t let that stop her from fighting for her freedom. And once she finally escaped, she didn’t just sit back and enjoy her newfound liberty. She dedicated her life to helping others escape from slavery too.

And so we did a recap of our recent Harriet Tubman event, Calling On Harriet, as well as a Real Solutions Video.

Thank you for helping us get through another week that was inspiring, creative, and productive. Keep being awesome, and we’ll see you next week!

Stay Awesome and See You Next Week!
