THE growth in demand for video promotion has helped a Dudley production company double its turnover in just twelve months.

Acam Video, which is run by John Czerepaninec and Phil Clark, has sealed a string of new contracts to produce corporate material for high profile names, such as Tata Automotive and Jon Lee Recruitment.

The duo’s vast experience in the world of TV and Film is providing companies with an end-to-end creative solution for producing video in HD and 4K with the latest ‘win’ involving live internet streaming for UBBAD Promotions’ licensed bare knuckle boxing events.

John, who has been in the broadcast industry since 1976 and filmed former US president Bill Clinton and Pele, said: “More and more businesses are choosing to use social media to spread the word about their companies, with 70 per cent of internet users watching their video material online.

“Furthermore, the average person retains only 10 per cent of what they hear, compared with 50 per cent of what they see - it’s no wonder video is growing and it’s not just the major conglomerates who can afford to create exciting and engaging content.”

He added: “We have picked up new clients over the last twelve months, who want an organisation who can deliver the entire solution, from storyboarding and filming to editing and hosting live streams.”

Last year was a big year for Acam Video, with Phil’s arrival opening up new areas of opportunity for the business.

The Dudley-born production expert has worked in the sector for more than 30 years and brought with him significant skills in directing and editing, using his state-of-the-art edit suite to develop short films, sporting events, corporate adverts and documentaries.

Phil said: “We have known each other for some time, working together with Sky, BBC and a number of commercial production firms. Our skills complement each other nicely so when John asked me to consider joining him I jumped at the opportunity.

“What attracted me to this venture is that we can offer filming and editing capabilities that you would usually only find with some of the largest and most expensive production houses in the world.

“The difference is we manage the project ourselves from start to finish, bringing in digital marketing support as and when required.

“This personal approach has really struck a chord with our clients and we are really excited at the technology we have invested in to offer live streaming in HD. The feedback we’ve received for our UBBAD work has made a few major broadcasters sit up and take notice.”
