Barking Squirrel Media is a member of the Better Business Bureau because our values and mission in business are in perfect alignment. Our mission as a video production company is to tell the stories of organizations that make a positive impact in real people’s lives, the community and the world. Over the many years, we have found that there are many companies that use their resources in generous ways to benefit their employees, vendors, customers and the members of their communities. These stories need to be told in compelling, cinematic and strategic ways. Barking Squirrel Media exists to use our skills and expertise to produce such inspiring stories in order to nurture public trust in the brand.
The Better Business Bureau is the leader in creating marketplace trust by setting standards for best business practices, promoting ethical businesses and holding companies accountable for substandard practices. People do business with those they know, like and trust and the BBB is devoted to directing the public to companies that qualify for such trust.
It’s important to Barking Squirrel Media to not only be a member of the Better Business Bureau, but also to tell the stories of businesses that have proven themselves to be trustworthy and ethical. Barking Squirrel Media is devoted to corporate and non-profit storytelling. Taking utmost care of our clients is our highest priority. We do this in a number of ways.
First, we have designed a discovery process that helps us understand the goals and objectives of a company so that we can produce films that help them accomplish their goals. Second, we educate not only our clients, but the general public, through an extensive library of articles on every aspect of corporate film making. We listen to the questions companies ask about video production and storytelling, then we provide helpful information on the blog pages of our website. We want organizations to understand every aspect of video production so they can make an informed decision, whether they choose Barking Squirrel Media or another video production company.
Third, we produce the highest caliber corporate videos with an extraordinarily talented and experienced team of filmmakers. Our team has worked together for years, so we function as a well-oiled machine on set. We are passionate about using their gifts to make a positive impact in the world. Additionally, we film with the finest cinematic cameras and equipment in the industry.
Fourth, we will scale a client’s project to THEIR budget. We will do all in our power to provide the best quality video at a price our clients can afford. There are endless ways to tell a story, from something very simple to a full-featured film. No matter what the budget is, we will give our clients several different approaches for their video project at different price points. Additionally, we will work tirelessly with our customers to refine the product to suit their needs and budget.
Finally (and maybe most importantly), we are a people centered company that truly cares and listens to our clients. We love getting to know people and hearing about their company and how they make a real difference in the world. Our clients enjoy doing business with us AND…they truly have fun on set.
As a storytelling company, we believe that producing these inspiring stories raises the bar in the workforce and puts pressure on a company’s competitors to do better. For example, when a company takes great care of their employees’ financial, educational and healthcare needs, while treating them with respect and kindness, employees enjoy coming to work, work harder and bring a cheerful attitude to their clients and vendors. In time, the culture of the entire company becomes healthy and positive. This leads to higher productivity, more accounts and increased profitability.
Employees want to work for companies that have such life affirming cultures and leave companies that don’t. When the word gets out that company A is a great place to work, then company B losses valuable workers to company A. Putting altruism aside (which is hard to ignore), it simply makes good business sense to take care of your workforce. On top of this, more talented people seek employment with companies with a great culture.
The Better Business Bureau is at the epicenter of marketplace trust, connecting people to companies that are reliable, trustworthy and have great products and services. Being a member of the BBB is quintessential to Barking Squirrel Media’s mission and value proposition.
