SMILEY FACE MEDIA

CLIENT REVIEWS

“I’ve worked with Smiley Face Media for many years. From branding, to video, to organic social content, to commercials, and other things. What makes them unique, is thay aren’t just content creators. Rick and Lorry are creative directors/ directors who create content. They truly understand the audience, and use their strategic thinking and creative minds to develop concepts that are unique and break the monotony of generic content that exists online.

When is comes to execution, they’re flawless. I’ve hired a lot of outside production firms for various clients, and whenever I collaborate with Smiley Face I never worry. Whether it’s something fun and exciting like an alcohol brand, or something a bit more dry like a logistics firm, they always bring their A game.”

— Adam Benjamin, Starke Marketing

“Smiley Face Media are truly leagues above anyone we’ve ever worked with in the past. They take our crazy ideas and turn them into full-fledged, professional, creative projects, and then always exceed our expectations in their delivery. They have helped us hone in on our branding, and provided exceptional photos and videos for multiple projects. They have big city vision and hustle, but midwestern heart and down-to-earth character. 10/10, these are the guys you’re looking for!”

— Debutants

“We’ve worked with Smiley Face Media for years now, Lorry and Rick do such an amazing job of listening and really care about the content they create.

“Rick and Lorry were referred to us by a close friend who had seen his work. It was only 2 weeks before the wedding when we met with Rick to see if he could film our wedding video. We didn't want a typical wedding video that was all Cinderella like- we wanted it to be real. We discussed Rick and Lorry filming all the behind the scenes, kinda like the tv show Cop's.

That was pretty much the only thing we told him. We said to be creative and let him do his thing.

We were amazed at how great our video came out. We had a screening with all of our close friends and even though the video wasn't sappy, there wasn't a dry eye in the room. The video was beautiful. It was exactly what we wanted and we will cherish it forever. It's available to see if you'd like to check it out- I'm so proud to show it! I've given him permission to show anyone who wants to see it.

If you're looking at this review and trying to decide whether you should hire Rick- I'm here to tell you you should. He is amazing at what he does.”

— Jocelyn & Stewart

“I've worked with them through my position at the Huntington County Visitor Bureau and they have been phenomenal to work with. The quality of videos they produce is unmatched. Highly recommend this duo for elevated video content and marketing.

My Mom was a sign painter.

Paint was replaced by printer ink.

Design got more basic.

I was a digital designer before Photoshop existed.

Automatic tools made us less necessary.

Design got homogenized.

Content is still necessary.

Commerce is still necessary.

Competing… is survival.

We will continue to innovate, and we will continue to exist.
