About Us: Video, Film & Web Services, Inc.

At VFW (Video Film Web) since 2001 we have been creating publicity and advertising systems for every business model, industry and niche including small businesses, stylists, experts, actors, educators, celebrities and more. We work with clients and collaborators who have won Oscars, Emmys, Golden Globes, Tonys and Platinum Pias. Members of our team come from digital media arts, filmmaking and entertainment backgrounds, therefore as a video production, web design and search engine optimization company we get results for our clients based on the philosophy, approach and belief that "there's no business that's not in show business."

Every three months we make you a new VIDEO press release and put it online that ties your career and business into newsworthy events including community festivals and celebrity projects that in turn gets you FILMED for media coverage including newspapers, magazines and newscasts, which then further leads to you achieving organic first page WEB search engine rankings. In short, making your career and business more successful is as 1,2,3 - video, film, web:

  1. VIDEO your press release.
  2. FILM your media coverage.
  3. WEB your search engine rankings.

For companies that have employees that work one-on-one with customers we have special blanket coverage that provides individualized discounted Video Film Web systems for each employee that benefits him or her, as well as his or her employer. Benefits for both employers and employees include getting clients, referrals, loyalty and testimonials as well as having access to 24/7 individualized email marketing and acquisition systems and campaigns.

If you are already working with a journalist or internet marketing professional and have your own video press release, media coverage article/pics and search engine optimized materials - ask if you qualify for discounted three month publication info space leasing. Email marketing programs are for VFW clients and their employees only and include the personalized consultation and training we provide for our customers so that they are empowered to work their marketing programs both offline and online.

EXLCLUSIVE CIRCLE:

Oscars, Emmys, Golden Globes, Tonys, Pias

VFW (Video Film Web) maximizes your newsworthiness by accepting you into - as well as engaging you in - our exclusive circle of collaborators. So because any new clients we take on must be a good fit with our existing creative friends, we are extremely picky about who we initially accept on a trial three month basis. Our customers range from small businesses to stylists to educators to experts to actors to celebrities. Our clients and collaborators are award winners with trophies including Oscars, Emmys, Golden Globes, Tonys and yes, Platinum Pias.

THE COMPANY:

since 2001 getting you press coverage and first page Google

Video, Film & Web Services, Inc. was established in 2001 as a video production, web design and search engine optimization company consisting of a digital media arts trained team using the ever evolving Video Film Web System to empower businesses, experts and celebrities to get you more clients/fans, retain loyalty, generate referrals and rank first page in Google, Yahoo and other search engines using internet marketing tools and strategies that are optimized to the P.I.A. standard as dictated by the Platinum Pias Awards held annually at Robert De Niro's Tribeca Cinema.

THE P.I.A. STANDARD:

win awards, collaborate on festivals, work celeb projects

The P.I.A. Standard consists of “P” for the Prestige of being nominated for and winning awards, “I” stands for Interest (also known as the human interest story or community festival coverage), while finally “A” represents Associations such as celebrity associations. In short, the P.I.A. Standard encompasses the major elements that are generally accepted as being needed to make a story newsworthy enough for consideration by online newspapers, magazines and newscasts and ultimately to achieve first page organic search engine rankings for your career and business.

VFW RESOURCES:

video film web path to media attention & press publications

It all starts with getting media attention and this requires packaging your career and business in a press release as being newsworthy or “worthy of news” with publications including “Manhattan Time Out”, “NY City Press”, “NYC Village Voice” and more. Therefore the Video Film Web System uses to the advantage of its clients, VFW's extensive internal video, film and web resources including “video” of online videos, “film” of filming community festivals and “web” of web press that covers VFW in-house celebrity projects.

CONSULTATION AND TRIAL:

12 week tools & strategies trial to newsworthy

If we agree to work with you, it is initially on a trial basis of three months that starts on the day of your first consultation with us. At this consultation you bring to the Video Film Web Studios (located downstairs at one of 9 locations of our client for over a decade Dramatics NYC on Second Avenue between 47th/48th) any and all media elements you have. These elements will be detailed to you as well a discussed per an initial phone call or email correspondence. From these components (in addition to possibly filming more digital media arts elements), we create strategies and tools for you. Next we track and coach you during the subsequent 12 weeks of the implementation of your custom strategy that uses your your tailored arsenal.

QUARTERLY FESTIVALS:

help the community while building visibility & success

We are of the belief that the tools alone do not build the house, so unless you follow the strategy plan we outline for you, you will not receive optimum results. In short, you will not build the house of a successful three month internet marketing campaign. All of our campaigns and promotions cycles work on three month intervals coinciding with business quarters and seasons including Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall in a family focused fashion.

Festivals include Winter Festival NYC (Oct.-Dec.), Platinum Pias Awards (Jan.-March), Summer Reading NYC (April-June) and Harvest Festival NYC (July-Sept.). Help the community, build visibility and become more successful, three months at a time with festivals.

PRESS COVERAGE CYCLES:

maintain your 15 minutes of fame

Your press coverage works on a chronological schedule of three month intervals also, much like Andy Warhol's 15 minutes of fame. If you are not on a 1 or 2 year contract with us and you are doing our marketing program on a quarterly basis, you must do a new video with us every three months which serves the dual purpose of both generating your newsworthiness as well as ensures the press coverage info lease placement we acquired for you remains online and/or new coverage is implemented. This means that at the end of three months unless you renew for another three months with a fresh buzz generating video (or are on a 1 or 2 year contract) you will lose the ice breaking email marketing benefits as well as first page search engine ranking perks. This goes for celebrity projects also.

CELEBRITY PROJECTS:

media cohabitation with the famous

A current celebrity project is the New York Public Library contest we developed to help the community called "Lights, Camera, Read" (with the voices of the Powerpuff Girls and Roger Rabbit).

"Italian American Lifestyles" did a story regarding "Lights, Camera, Read" that included our client actor/chef/entrepreneur Alex Corrado who is one of the judges for this contest. LCR (Lights Camera Read) is an educational contest where the best submitted kid's short story inspired by a book is awarded by making it into a short film dramatized by the Magic Neighbors puppets.

The "Italian American Actors" article also included Alex's Club Corrado NJ entertainment venture (that we are developing for him) which involves a seafood salad celebrity tasting panel consisting of actor Danny Aiello plus the executive chef of Tribeca Grill and a cast member of "The Sopranos".

Other recent celebrity publication coverage for "Lights, Camera, Read" includes an interview with Karina Smirnoff (best known for being in "Dancing With The Stars" and on Broadway) in a "Manhattan Time Out" article that additionally spotlighted our client Topaz who is Karina's stylist as well as a LCR judge.

CLIENT PROFILE:

dream realization questionnaire and strategy clarification

Not every career or business can be a client of Video, Film & Web Services, Inc. because we must be comfortable with you as a collaborator in order to continue with you. In short, WE need to believe in YOUR own belief of yourself and your goals. Once this has been achieved, anything is possible.
