The new website and video was produced by James Thomas Media, led by Tom Gachis.  “Tom and his team have a unique ability to actively listen to the client and effectively emote the tone of the brand and the company culture.  As they are vertically integrated, they are very cost efficient and highly collaborative”.

With the technological advancement of desktop and mobile devices to process high resolution video,  it really opens up new possibilities on how we can connect with consumers” added Mendes.  The company has also heightened consumer engagement on a variety of social platforms.
