BCC visits The Media Zoo

Last Monday, The Media Zoo was proud to have an informative r&d session with six staff members from Broward Community College. They came to get a tour of The Media Zoo studios and find out how we can help them integrate video into their website. Rumor has it that BCC will be completely redesigning their site. As a past and present student, I'm excited to see the new look and The Media Zoo is excited to potentially be a part of it.

Excititng News

In case you don't know...The State of Florida recently held a contest for a new state song. Jan Hinton, a teacher from Pine Crest School won the contest with her song: "Florida, Where The Sawgrass Meets The Sky." Jan hired The Media Zoo to shoot, produce, and edit a video to go along with the song. Watch the video here and also check out the featured article in the Sun-Sentinel.

Brainstorming

We've been busy brainstorming here at The Media Zoo this week. We're forming partnerships with multiple companies in the area and around the country. On Wednesday, we met with Bob from Sign-A-Rama and we'll be shooting a video for him today. Yesterday, Vince and I met with Gary from D2F, a multi-channel marketing service. We had a great meeting and are looking forward to forming a fantastic relationship with them.

Biz Expo 2008

Last night, The Media Zoo participated in the Biz Expo 2008 held at McFatter Technical Institute. We had a huge booth thanks to Yvonne and Vicki the coordinators of the event. We met so many wonderful people from four different Chambers of Commerce including: The Dania Beach Chamber of Commerce, The Davie-Cooper City Chamber, The Greater Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, and The Hallandale Beach Chamber of Commerce. The Media Zoo doesn't monkey around at these types of events...we had a gorilla going around posing for pictures with guests and vendors! The pictures will be posted on our site next week so stop by again and take a look!

New Blog Feature

We're adding a new feature to our blog. Every so often, I'll post a survey question. Make sure you check back often and post your answer to our question.

Todays survey question: Do you think most people prefer Internet or TV?

We've had a busy couple weeks here at The Media Zoo. Another one of WebLadybug's clients came in to do a shoot. 3ZTelecom, a calling card company, picked Jodi to be their spokesmodel. She came in one morning along with the guys from 3Z Telecom. They even brought some kind of antennae for cellular towers into the studio!

We've also been very busy working on videos for Icon Website Design and Preferred Print. Those videos aren't up and running yet but they will be very soon!

In addition to those projects, we recently had an opportunity to meet with Zach Hoffman of SEO.cc. Zach is the CEO of a search engine optimization company. We learned a great deal about optimizing our website from him. He has a wealth of information!

I'll have updates about more projects coming soon so stay tuned!

Vince

Today, I'm going to introduce you to Vince Stott. Let me give you a bit of background. Vince and Paul (also a member of the team) have been running a very successful wedding video business (http://www.abroadwayvideo.com/) for 20 years now. A couple years ago, they started thinking about expanding the business to include more corporate type videos with a concentration on website videos. That dream led them to open The Media Zoo. So, as you may have figured out by now, Vince is one of the owners of The Media Zoo. He is extremely creative and has so many great ideas both for The Media Zoo and A Broadway Video. He is always reading up on the latest business techniques, practices, and strategies.


On a more personal note....Vince is a HUGE Gator fan. One of his cats is even named after the University of Florida's quarterback! This past November, he and Crystal, another vital member of the team finally tied the knot. Crystal surprised Vince at the wedding and brought the University of Florida drum line in at the end of the ceremony. It was quite exciting!
