These days, you don’t find many companies that built their reputation on delivering measurable results (and have the proof to back it up). Yet this is exactly what we’ve done at Crisp Video.
We developed a method for telling your law firm’s story in a way that creates emotional appeal while sharing what separates you from a sea of competitors. It’s an approach proven to grow caseloads, attract high-value clients and multiply revenue.
The fact is, you won’t find another company that cares and is as vested in your success as Crisp Video. This singular passion for telling our clients’ stories in a remarkable way occupies every waking moment. It’s what gets us up in the morning and quite often keeps us working long into the night.
Top-level video work is the heart of our business — it creates change, delivers value and drives growth. These are the people behind the scenes who make the magic happen. A razor-sharp team of videographers, writers, editors and marketers all focused on crafting your message in ways that resonates with your audience, while delivering incredible results.
"There’s always a way, if you’re committed."
In college he took the MCAT and got into Medical School. Being an entrepreneur at heart, he instead decided to start a video marketing company by the name of Crisp Video Group.
He was turned down 21 times in a row on the way to signing Crisp Video’s first client (pitch #22). As a result, 22 is his lucky number.
The incredible team I get to work with each and every day. I love the results-driven culture that we have at Crisp Video Group and how vested each and everyone one of our team members are in our clients’ success. It’s truly remarkable to see the impact we continue to make in the lives and businesses’ of our clients. I’m grateful to have the opportunity to work with absolute rockstars, who somehow manage to put up with me pushing us at 100 miles per hour since Day 1.

Jessica has a crazy travel endurance. She once flew 175k miles in one calendar year. She will outfly you if given the opportunity.
She makes a lot of Asian jokes, but don’t worry! Jessica is half-Asian, so she’s actually just making fun of herself all day.

I love the team. I feel constantly challenged to be my best self. Crisp fosters a sense of inclusivity amongst the team, no matter the position or title, that I love being a part of.
"Ba." (don’t ask)
He personally prefers working with as many computer monitors as possible.
Being a T1 diabetic means that low blood sugar = the entire office scrambling to find sugar filled items. Also, he’s allergic to everything (according to Devin).

I live in a state of organized chaos (color-coded planners, yet my scribbles/writing is all over the place and on 20 different sticky notes…it makes sense).
Music keeps my insanity in check, so you’ll usually find me with headphones on when I'm head down working on multiple projects or jamming out in my car before/after work.
Other than the fact that the team with whom I work are incredibly hard-working, innovative, and challenge me every day, I love the fact that I get to make clients' lives better by innovating their business and helping them to stand apart from everyone else. That creative, brainstorming process is what I live for, and I love that I get to conceptualize ideas as far out as possible without fearing that my leash has gone too far. I’m able to truly be myself, and work in such a way that’s the most productive for me.

It kicks my ass in the best way possible. It challenges me to be BETTER. Better prepared, more organized, more adaptable, and I have grown a lot as a person and marketer because of it. Leadership is also really open to suggestions (if there is a plan to back it up), and they are caring and supportive.
"Oh, y'know..." (really brings out the upper Midwestern accent)

While effort is a key to success, it’s not a substitute for tangible results. You see, achieving results at the highest levels isn’t just a matter of trying harder. You must take the right action. Take the wrong one and you can accelerate failure, regardless of how much effort you put forth.
When adversity appears, it’s easy to focus on the negatives. Yet when you have a growth mindset, you concentrate efforts on solutions instead of problems. So rather than dwelling on the past, you put proper attention on what’s needed to move forward.
If you’re committed to entrepreneurial endeavors, you owe it to yourself and your family to achieve the highest results. So give all you have, no matter the task or the time of day.
If you can’t commit to being better today than yesterday, you’re okay with being average. After all, the same actions day in and day out don’t deliver improved results. True growth requires always pushing past new levels of discomfort.
The single ingredient shared at the highest levels of achievement is consistency. You must be willing to take repeated actions and adjust them based on feedback. After all, the best results come from incremental progress and improvements over an extended period of time.
To truly engage in your work, you must own it. There’s no cutting corners. You must hold yourself accountable for quality and timeliness, even when the outcome doesn’t bring you direct benefits.
Our clients give us the opportunity to do the things we love on a daily basis. Their success feeds our success. So there is no greater reward than seeing their reactions when our work not only fulfills their vision, but also surpasses their expectations.
