At ReelSmart Productions, we believe in the power of storytelling, the magic of visual narratives, and the transformative impact that high-quality video can have on businesses and communities alike. Today, we are thrilled to announce the opening of our brand-new office in Seattle, Washington—a city renowned for its innovation, creativity, and phenomenal coffee.
A Video Journey from Coast to Coast
ReelSmart Productions started with a dream in the heart of Brooklyn, New York. Fueled by a desire to put effective video marketing content in reach of more companies and organizations, our founder, Keith Harrington built ReelSmart brick by brick in one of the most competitive creative markets in the country. From our early days catering primarily to New York City nonprofits, we’ve grown to become a trusted creative resource for a number of global brands including Instacart, Simon & Schuster, and Warner Music Group among others.
Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of partnering with clients across a range of industries and sectors — from small startups developing next generation clean energy technologies to major educational institutions developing the next generation of leaders. Whether we’re helping put books on the New York Times best seller list, or helping put new public ferries in New York City’s waterways, ReelSmart has found success in helping our clients succeed at telling their unique stories.
As we continue to branch out, our roots remain firmly planted in the values that have guided us since day one: authenticity, affordability, collaboration, and a relentless pursuit of quality.
Why Seattle?
When we decided to open a new office, Seattle was the natural choice. Coming from New York City, we sought a second home that shared the same innovative business culture, flourishing creative environment, and commitment to progressive values that have been central to our growth as a production company. Seattle offers all of this and more.
As a global innovation hub, the greater Seattle area presents exciting opportunities for ReelSmart to produce video content for the diverse clientele that has inspired some of our best work— from tech companies large and small, to educational innovators, authors and thought leaders. Moreover, the Pacific Northwest’s thriving film and TV production scene ensures access to a talented community of production and post-production professionals, enabling us to collaborate with top-tier creative minds.
Above all, we’re passionate about telling the stories of organizations, institutions, and individuals dedicated to building a greener, kinder, and healthier world. Seattle is full of changemakers, and we’re eager to team up with them. In short, Seattle is not just another place to do business—it’s a community where we can grow, collaborate, and contribute to making a positive impact.
Video Services Excellence - Local to Global
At ReelSmart Productions, we pride ourselves on being more than a video production company. We are storytellers, brand strategists, and visual architects. We operate with the mindset of a creative agency, collaborating with businesses and organizations across industries and sectors to develop visual narratives that speak directly to their target audiences.
Who We’ve Worked With
- Tech Innovators: Some of the biggest names in tech, such as Samsung Next and Instacart have turned to ReelSmart for help in sharing the stories of their latest innovations with the world.
- Major Book and Music Publishers: Our bespoke 2D-animated non-fiction book promo trailers for “Big-Five” publishers Hachette and Simon & Schuster have received millions of views on social media and helped propel titles to the New York Times bestseller list.
- Educational Institutions and Services: Maybe it’s our name, or maybe it’s just because we value a good education, but we’ve long gravitated toward working with clients in the educational space – and vice versa. From helping the Brooklyn Preschool of Science showcase their unique STEAM curriculum, to helping Curriculum Associates develop learning materials for speech-language pathology, we’ve helped many educators harness the power of video.
- Nonprofits: From day one, we’ve taken pride in promoting the great causes of our nonprofit partners by providing advocacy and educational content, event videos, fundraising campaign promos and more. Some of these nonprofits such as the Waterfront Alliance, have been our most loyal and longstanding clients.
- Startups and Small Businesses: We also go way back with startups and local businesses. Through our long standing partnership with the Clean Energy Business Incubator Program of Stonybrook University, we helped dozens of clean tech startups raise millions of dollars in capital with investor focused videos.
What Sets Us Apart
Our Seattle office brings the best of ReelSmart Productions to the Pacific Northwest. Here’s what you can expect:
- Full-Service Video Production: From creative concept development to final edits, we handle every aspect of the production process. Whether you need a commercial, a brand documentary, or social media content, we’re experts in pulling together all of the pieces and providing a seamless, hassle-free production experience.
- Motion Design and 2D Animation: While many video service providers either specialize in live action or animation, ReelSmart offers our clients the best of both worlds, ensuring all of your needs can be met under one roof. We’re here to provide full-animation explainers, brand templates, custom lower third, interstitial and intro/outro designs, and collage or photo animations.
- Affordable Production, Outstanding Quality: We’re committed to providing our clients with the most competitive rates in the industry, while maintaining top-notch production quality on every project. Professional-quality video production isn’t cheap, but it doesn’t have to break the bank. If you’re on a budget, we’ll work with you to find ways to save.
- Corporate Video Excellence: Corporate video shouldn’t mean boring video. Training videos, testimonials, and promotional reels are crucial corporate communications tools that go a long way in showcasing your culture to both internal and external audiences. ReelSmart knows the tricks of the trade to breathe life and cinematic style into them.
- Event Coverage: From conventions and product launches to intimate gatherings, we ensure your events are beautifully documented, allowing you to relive the moment and share it with the world.
- Video Marketing Strategy: Are you using video as effectively as possible? As our name suggests, we’re here to help you get smarter and more strategic about the way you employ and measure the success of your marketing videos. So not only do we work with you to develop individual videos that are optimized to hit your campaign goals, but we also offer deep dives into your long term strategy with our video marketing audit service.
- Social Media Content Creation: Short, snappy, and scroll-stopping—our content is designed to stand out on platforms that are inundated by often cheesy and forgettable branded “UGC” videos.
