They have been an incredible creative partner and have helped our small nonprofit share our story with the community in an impactful way. Their talented team has been fantastic to work with and collaborate with you throughout the entire creative process.

Eddie Fernandez2023-04-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Key Ideas is a phenomenal production company and they are truly great at what they do. Amanda Cerreto2023-02-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Carlos and his team at Key Ideas are absolutely incredible. Not only did they take our somewhat convoluted storylines and turn them into beautiful narratives, they also handled all the heavy lifting, from scheduling to interview prep and more. They know their stuff from back to front, from storyboarding to the technical aspects of shooting video. They were always communicative, always friendly no matter how much we changed ideas or subjects, and were absolutely top notch professionals. I will recommend this company to anyone and everyone for projects big and small. David Gal2022-08-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Key Ideas team has been a reliable partner for us for several years now. They've assisted with remote shoots for edits we handle in-house as well as handle the full spectrum of a project from start to finish completely independently. I joined my organization as their first in-house video team member a few years ago, and during my time here I've slowly clawed back a number of gigs from outside vendors, but Key Ideas always brings the value and they're very easy to work with as people, so we've only strengthened the relationship. Susan Quick2022-08-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. San Antonio Christian Dental Clinic has worked with Carlos Maestas and his wonderful staff at Key Ideas since 2015. They are exceptionally skilled in telling YOUR story via vignettes. They have a heart for service and excellence in everything they put their hand to. We have contracted with them to complete approximately 8 videos, and we're constantly amazed and thrilled with the end result. Looking to tell your organization's story with heart and professionalism? Give Key Ideas a call - I promise you won't be disappointed. Joyce Watson2022-05-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Key Ideas has been a fantastic creative partner for our firm and we have produced multiple videos together. The entire process is very collaborative and well-organized. Carlos and his team are skilled at making people feel comfortable in front of the camera and asking insightful questions to bring out great stories. The production value is exceptional and the editing is purposeful, which together create a cinematic, best-in-class final product! Michelle Jackson2021-08-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Key Ideas has been a great partner to our organization- Human Services Council- and we continue to use them to create quality short films for us. They have really amazing ideas, are very creative, work within our budget, and work with us to develop such great content that has made our organization more professional and able to reach a larger audience. I highly recommend them for groups trying to think outside the box, are looking to engage with creative professionals, and/or are venturing in to creative content for the first time. Carlos and his team are really great to work with. Chloe Daniels2021-08-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I absolutely love working with Key Ideas. Carlos and his team are absolute pros. I've hired them at two different companies and have referred them to several more. They're amazing at taking an idea and turning it into something epic that I could've never thought of myself. Even something as seemingly uninteresting as roadway construction, or a medical conference-- Key Ideas has a magical way of creating cinematic videos that really help our organization stand out from the rest. Megan Legacy2021-08-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Carlos and his team at Key Ideas are the best! They have produced a number of super-high quality storytelling videos enabling us to share our mission with the community and our donors. The creative process is very thoughtful, very focused on our strategic goals. I think most powerful, the time they take to really get the story. Carlos deeply connects with those being interviewed to share their stories and journey in a highly dignified way. I highly recommend Key Ideas!
