January 1st, 2010 was my first official day as President of the South Council or the Jacksonville Regional Chamber of Commerce.

The Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce is the 2nd largest in the NATION and the South Council is its largest council.  With over 300 members, this group is filled with energy and enthusiasm.  We average 60-80 at every meeting (the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month) and provide an opportunity for business people to network and make connections.

Now in our 7th year of business, I attribute much of our success to the importance placed on the Chamber of Commerce.  It is our link the the Jacksonville Business Community.

Wish me luck as I lead the South Council through 2010!

Talk about an amazing client.  The video below is our 4th for Brooks Rehabilitation, and each project has been more fun than the last.  This video uses testimonials to explain the wonderful things going on at Brooks Clubhouse.

Brooks Clubhouse offers a range of activities designed to help individuals who have experienced a brain injury.  

I hope you like the video!

Spring is finally in the air, and I am happy about it.  80 degree days, sunny, volleyball.  It is amazing to live and work in a place where people come to vacation.

Kennetic Productions has some great projects coming down the pipeline this month.  We’ll post them when ready so you can give your feedback.

One of the projects is a repeat customer.  I can’t stress how important customer service is in the success of your business.  Good product + Good customer service = Happy, Repeat Customers.

Last year, I was honored to be selected as the Small Business Leader of the Year for the South Council of the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce.  This year, I made a video for the ‘09 nominees.

This was played at the Chamber Annual Meeting and was a great way for the SBLY nominees to gain additional big screen exposure.  

The video was shot in a spare office at the Small Business Center on the same day as their competition interviews.  Less than perfect conditions blossomed a great video piece.

Another beautiful wedding at TPC!  I hope you enjoy!

Hired by Stephen J. Kaufman Public Relations, we put together a video for the Allied Veterans of the World.  The Allied Veterans has a nice history and is run by some great men doing great work for Veterans in need.

This video tells the story of the Allied Veterans foundation and leadership.

The Brooks Rehabilitation family has become one of our best clients over the past year. We have done some great projects for them, and the Brooks Adaptive Sports Video is no exception.

Brooks Adaptive Sports is a program set up by Brooks Rehab for athletes with disabilities.  If you have ever seen the documentary “Murderball”, they do offer quad rugby.  The list of sports and activities is endless and it is a great way for those with disabilities to realize that life does not end the day of their accident. 

The purpose of this promotional video is to educate the audience about Brooks Adaptive Sports along with gaining financial and volunteer support and increased participation.  

Enjoy! 

The National Association of Catering Executives is an organization of which I serve on the board.  The most important piece of grass roots advertising is association membership and involvement.  Pick associations that help your business and contain your possible customers.I’m heavily involved in 2 organizations.  

The first is the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce.  The chamber is set up to help promote the Corporate side of Kennetic Productions.  The KP revenue stream is split 50/50 between Corporate Projects and Events.   

The second is NACE.  Why?  The NACE members are usually not getting married, so they are not my direct customer, but, they are usually the first point of contact for brides.  The catering executives book brides at their venues.  Who does a bride talk to first?  Either their dress boutique, or their venue.  Hence, NACE membership puts me in front of Catering Executives who, if they like my work, recommend me to brides. 

Anyway, here is a short video I put together at the board’s urging to taut our 50th anniversary celebration…enjoy! Keep in mind that I was able to use copyrighted music because the project was not for profit!  

Taylor and Andy had a beautiful wedding at the Riverside Presbyterian Church followed by a great party at the University Club.  It was a pleasure to work with Taylor and Andy…they are such a wonderful and easy-going couple.  Andy’s sister was one of our first wedding clients a few years ago!I hope you like their trailer!
