Websites

When people hear the word “web” many lose sight of what it actually is: a network of fine threads integrated for the purpose of capturing. Starting at the center, which is your organization, our entire team of graphic designers, web developers, video and audio producers come together to talk about the best way to build your website so it can capture and captivate your audience.

As a full-service production house, we can create and maintain all of your content, or make it in such a way that allows you to update it yourself. We’ll even teach you how to do it. And when it goes live, we’ll be there to celebrate with you.

Sound production - integrated in 1979

Okay, back to 1979. That's when we opened our first groovy recording studio called Sound Outreach Studios. At first we only made music, and a lot of it. We thought that’s all we were ever going to do, and then businesses started coming to us for things like slide shows with soundtracks. We're not talking PowerPoint here! Being the entrepreneurs we are, in 1983 we bought an automatic slide projector, and a screen, and changed our business forever.

Video production – integrated in 1985

It wasn't long before our customers started asking us to write the scripts, and make videos. So in 1985, we added copy writing and video production to our suite of services. After four years we thought, you know, Sound Outreach Studios doesn't exactly say what we do anymore, so in 1989, we became Outreach Productions. All the while, as more customers made TV ads and videos with us, they liked our work so much, that they started asking us if we'd go a step further and develop logos and other graphic materials.

Graphic design – integrated in 1992

How can you say no? In 1992 we formally established our own full service creative suite, sending our customers out to trade shows with a full kit complete with a TV, VCR, business cards, portable sign and a tri-fold brochure. They loved it! Why? Because everything they needed had a consistent look and feel – a good one! Don’t you hate it when you see logos, colors and styles mismatched? Ugh! We do. We're really glad we got into graphic design too, because it allowed us to integrate the biggest media advancement to date: the World Wide Web.

Website design – integrated in 1999

Well, we started a little earlier than 1999. Tim Berners-Lee actually invented it in 1991. It was pretty crude at first, and took a while for people and businesses to catch on, let alone buy computers and modems. But by 1999, we were in full swing, and were one of the first companies around that did it all in-house.

Social media – integrated in 2007

Facebook. Twitter. LinkedIn. YouTube. Why use it? How? Where? Yes, we do social media, and we do it well. Ultimately it’s about engaging your viewers, and who’s better to ask to do it than the company that already knows your business and customers, and has all of your creative elements on file? Our creative crew loves to brainstorm and co-create for social media. When you hire Outreach Productions – you get a team. Some of our customers ask us to do this for them on a monthly contract basis. Others ask us to set them up properly and train them to do it on their own. Either way, you’ve got to do it well or not at all.
Social Media
Social media. There's two very loaded words. You hear people say it all the time, “We need to get into social media.” Next comes a simple Facebook page and some tweets thinking everyone's going to read it or watch it and share it with the world. If you’re lucky, you might get a half hour of Twitter flurry. Going viral is like winning the lottery. Really.

But if you do it well, social media can be the best thing that ever happened to your organization, and if there are three things we know about building a successful social media campaign it’s:

1. You’ve got to give your audience something engaging; something of value
2. You’ve got to compel them to give it to other people too
3. You’ve got to have content that integrates with and links to every medium you use

At Outreach Productions, we make the content you need to do exactly this. Whether it’s a video on YouTube, integrated with a graphically enhanced Facebook page, some catchy copy text for Twitter, or a print advertisement, we make sure everything is the right size and shape, uploaded and linked in a way that drives people to your website and makes it easy for them to share.

Audio recording today

Recording professional audio, whether it’s music or voice, requires a facility that has what the industry calls “clean sound.” To do this, you need an acoustically treated performance space, soundproof booths, and professional recording equipment. When you’re producing sound to sell or for broadcast, capturing audio in its purest form is the only way to start.

At Outreach Productions, our MasterTracks Recording Studio, has the sound engineers, and HD post-production facilities you need to bring out the best of your talent, and produce the sound quality required for commercial-grade recordings. We also have a great database of talented musicians and voice actors for you to choose from.

Want to go further? Our in-house graphic designers, web programmers, video producers and duplication specialists can come together to create your artwork, website, music video, and packaging to create a fully integrated experience for your audience.
