What We Do: Video Production
Whether you're looking for a feature-length documentary, a video series for a statewide campaign, a foundational "About Us" video, an animated explainer or a spot for social media, we provide comprehensive video production services – from concept to completion. If you need it, we can make it.
As journalists, we have a unique ability to personalize complex issues – making videos that resonate with diverse audiences. We treat each project as a blank slate, building the production around collaboration, flexibility, and efficiency.
Our work has been recognized with CAPIO awards, Telly awards, Emmy Awards and nominations, and a national AdWheel award. Our work has been showcased on national television and in international film festivals, including the Cannes Film Festival in France.
What We Do: Strategic Outreach
No two messages are alike. We build each one from scratch, expertly tailored to fit your organization's specific short- and long-term communications objectives. From news releases to newsletters to social media, we construct content of all shapes and sizes, maximizing exposure, resonance, and impact with your desired audience.
We get to the heart of challenging, controversial issues by building our messaging around those who are most impacted. We thoughtfully engage decision-makers at the local, regional, and state level to influence public policy outcomes.
What We Do: Media Training
In today's fast-paced, ever-changing media world, it's crucial to cut through the noise. Of course, getting your message out is easier said than done. Our media training & engagement curriculum is built from scratch by people who've actually done the job. We've worked in newsrooms across the country, in markets large and small.
Our media training curriculum provides industry-proven techniques to help you develop a clear, concise message and deliver impactful interviews. We're sharing our insider's perspective to take away the uncertainty of dealing with the media and help you communicate with power, clarity and confidence.
J Comm, Inc. media training courses are created and led by veteran journalist Kris Pickel. Over the course of her award-winning career, the ten-time Emmy winner anchored the news in major media markets and conducted tens of thousands of interviews.
What We Do: Media Engagement
We know the news business inside and out. We understand how newsrooms operate; we worked in major markets for decades. We have the insider's perspective to know why some stories make air and others never get a mention. We know who to talk to and what to say.
Our nationwide network of contacts at every level of the industry doesn't hurt, either. Looking to get your story out? Look no further.
What We Do: Spokesperson, Event MC and Voiceover
With more than 40 combined years of high-profile anchoring and reporting experience in broadcast media, we're at home in front of the camera or in front of an audience. We act as brand ambassadors, interfacing with the public, media members and other stakeholders.
We're just as comfortable behind a microphone, with years of experience delivering broadcast-quality voiceover in big market newscasts. Our team members can lend a professional voice to your next project.
