SUPPORTING CREATIVE SERVICES
You’re invited to our in-house intelligence.
Every creative service we’re capable of is strategically crafted to support your projects or campaigns, from ideation to execution. What does that mean for you?
You can print merchandise with us while we film your promotional video. You can have us design your next logo while writing your next email campaign. You can record your podcast with us while also increasing your digital presence.
We do it all so you don’t have to. Forget about going through multiple agencies or contractors when you can have a creative crew journey with you towards your goals. If we can create all that you need , and give you value adds along the way, why wouldn’t you keep it all in-house with Helm?
CAMPAIGN DEVELOPMENT
You can’t have a great campaign without a great idea.
Every company or brand must tell a story and not just a story, but a good story. Our leadership thrives on strategy mixed with creativity and originality. We specialize in digging deep to understand the goals and dreams of our clients, the challenges they encounter, and the barriers for engagement so that we can showcase who they are with clarity, excellence, and heart. It’s not always about being sentimental, but it is about feeling something. After all, last time we checked, you still need humans to buy-in to your brand.
Our creative agency and production house’s foundational services includes videography, from commercials and action-packed promotional videos to storytelling videos and extended narratives for both broadcast or episodic distribution. And from technical training videos to social media reels, or from video podcast and segments for mass markets and cable or streaming, we have extensive experience in visually capturing the stories of individuals and creating content that is engaging, emotional or heartwarming, inspiring, activating, and celebratory of the humans behind each and every video or photo we have the privilege to create.
We’re comfortable being on-site for live-action, in-person capturing of content, and have been able to utilize our personable creative crew to disarm and make more comfortable those being interviewed and those who are on the other side of the camera, while also being respectful and maintaining our position behind the scenes.
VIDEO
Imagine what’s possible by printing with Helm. We’ve outfitted spaces and venues from The Fillmore to Lincoln Financial Field, and have printed everything needed from launching in-person and online boutiques, to multi-faceted event or mailing campaigns. Printing with Helm is so much more than what you may have seen being branded before.
It’s about creating opportunities for memories which last, increasing brand awareness, and ensuring your narrative makes its way in the world through every method possible… print included.
AWARD-WINNING
While we care more about our clients than our accolades, we do appreciate the recognition we receive from respected organizations, as it builds trust with those we serve.
We’ve had the honor of receiving several awards for our work, both national and international, including for our leadership, which is a testament to the quality of our work and the character of our creative crew.
