Testimonials
“Pikewood Creative did a fantastic job with our promotional video. Tony, Gina, and the Pikewood staff worked tirelessly to deliver a superior product that fell within our budget. Most importantly, they work with us to give us exactly what we wanted. I initially reached out to several west coast firms, but Pikewood provided a product of similar quality at a fraction of the cost”.

“Stone Energy Corporation commissioned Pikewood Creative to produce a video that demonstrates and explains the process of horizontal gas well drilling, including the challenges that are unique to the Appalachian Basin. During the production process, the Pikewood team provided several updates to solicit Stone Energy’s input. The final product, which was delivered well in advance of the deadline, greatly exceeded our expectations. Pikewood Creative’s use of animated graphics visually captured each step in the process of gas well drilling and completion from construction to pipeline. We recommend Pikewood Creative to any organization in need of a creative, quality video presentation.”

“Our communication needs and Pikewood Creative’s expertise were a ‘perfect match’. We needed to appeal to our audience’s emotions so they could feel, almost first-hand, the care and experience that our patients and families receive from Hospice Care Corporation.
Our testimonial video and web site explains Hospice Care in a way that goes beyond the industry jargon and pictures to share ‘our’ quality end of life experience. Pikewood Creative is setting us apart from the rest. We value their work and our partnership.”

“Pikewood gets it. They understand the flow and feel of a story and have the creative and technical skills to pull off telling it well. They did more than simply execute what we asked; they led us toward something better. And on top of that, they delivered more content than they promised in a timely fashion. This is an excellent group of people to work with and we find ourselves now engaging them for more than the mere execution of projects. They are now a partner who helps us tell the story of who we are.”

“I was recently given the task of creating a new website and introduction video to update the look of our company. It seemed like an overwhelming undertaking until our first meeting with Pikewood Creative. With the help of their knowledgeable staff, our project moved smoothly with incredible results. Their team listened to our ideas and worked with us to help bring our vision to life. We are so pleased with how our website looks and functions, and the video, in our opinion, is second to none. Thank you for helping us create the brand that we desired.”

“We had the pleasure of working recently with Tony and Dan at Pikewood Creative. They created a promotional video for Trinity Christian School. The video turned out to be a very professional, moving and powerful masterpiece. The quality of the videography is superb, the special effects and the music are highly complimentary, and the artistic quality makes some million-dollar productions envious. However, this is not what impressed us the most. Perhaps the most important aspect is the ability of the Pikewood group to bring our 25-year story to life in less than 8 minutes. They allowed the testimonies to be real and spontaneous even though the team spent hours interviewing people. They showed the school’s high-end facilities without the sterility of an architectural tool. They listed some of the school’s achievements without any bragging. We believe the Pikewood team was able to accomplish this outstanding task because of two outstanding qualities that may seem contradictory to the casual observer, but are necessary to push good to excellent.”

“Pikewood Creative played a vital role in helping us further strengthen our market niche. After a number of years of mediocre advertising campaigns, Pikewood was a breath of fresh air. The professionals at Pikewood took the time to really understand our market and our goals. They responded with a multimedia campaign that clearly raised the bar for healthcare advertising in our region with highly effective radio, television and billboard ads. The result has been a significant increase of awareness of our strengths as well as increased market share. We have and continue to be the Upper Ohio Valley’s premier medical facility. Due to Pikewood’s involvement, that fact is ringing much louder and clearer. When people tell Emergency Medical Personnel to take them straight to Wheeling Hospital based on what they saw or heard in one of our ads, you know you’ve hit a home run.”

“After receiving the video you were spot on. Your staff did an excellent job during the film shoot and we could not be happier with this video. Everyone in our organization from the Board of Directors to the Child Care Team was extremely pleased with this product. However, the most important test would come when we began using this for our capital campaign and showing it to folks who had no idea what we were about. I honestly could not have told the story of Genesis Youth Crisis Center any better. I have seen your video produce tears in the audience and create a spark of wanting to help and be a part of this great project. In just seven minutes this video can tell a story of an organization that is over twenty five years in existence. Absolutely fantastic and please tell your staff how much we appreciate the hard work they put into developing this video. I would recommend Pikewood Creative to anyone. We could not have made better use of our money!
On behalf of the children we serve THANK YOU! You have shown the world what great work we do here everyday at Genesis. “

Executive Director, Genesis Youth Crisis Center
“I cannot overstate how happy we are with the videos produced by Pikewood Creative for Chestnut Ridge Church. We feel they capture the stories, personality, and feel of our church in a remarkable way, and the response of our congregation to the videos has been overwhelming. I would highly recommend Pikewood Creative for any video project where creativity and professionalism are needed.”

“Masterpiece Crystal was struggling with trying to increase sales and make its product more visible in the marketplace. A simple phone call to Pikewood Creative started us on the road to recovery. Tony and the staff at Pikewood Creative developed an exceptionally high quality DVD that told the Masterpiece Crystal, American Handmade story in a truly captivating and professional way. The DVD instantly became the cornerstone in all our Marketing efforts. Two years later sales are up over 60% and we have distributed over 4,000 DVD’s to current and potential customers. The entire process was painless and enjoyable. The Pikewood Creative experience was without doubt instrumental in our growth and the best marketing experience I have enjoyed in the 16 years Masterpiece Crystal has been in existence. I highly recommend anyone wanting to tell their story in the best possible way call the Pikewood Creative Team. The bottom line is their approach just plain works, and I look forward to using their services on other projects.”

“We have now shown the video you produced to a number of community members plus several hundred employees.
The reaction to the video has been 100% positive. The video, in the words of one employee, “The video made me proud to work at Mon General Hospital and made me want to donate!” As a hospital fund raiser for 30 years, this video has captured the heart of Mon General better than any video I have ever used.
You promised to deliver and you delivered.”
