I’m at IMTS with a camera. Your shop should be on it.
Two minutes on video. No charge, no pitch, and you keep the file. Talk about what you make, the machine you just put on the floor, or the hiring problem nobody says out loud. I’m on the floor through Saturday.
What you actually get.
- The file, yours to keep. A cut version and the raw footage. Post it, email it to customers, put it on your careers page. No watermark, no strings.
- No cost, and nothing to buy. I’m not selling you anything on camera and there’s no invoice afterward. If you want to talk business later, that’s a separate conversation you start.
- Two minutes of your time. This isn’t a production. I come to your booth with a camera and a mic, we talk, I get out of your way.
- You pick the subject. The part you’re proudest of, the process nobody understands, what you’re looking to buy this week, or why you got into this in the first place.
Why I’m doing it: I build the websites and search presence that get manufacturers found, and the honest truth is that the industry’s marketing all sounds the same because nobody shows the actual floor. I’d rather spend a week filming real shops than write another brochure.
How it works at the show.
Text me — that’s the fastest.
(224) 212-9029. Send your booth number and a window that works. I’m walking the halls, so a text beats email by hours.
Or fill out the form below.
Takes about thirty seconds. I’ll text you back to lock a time. The form is also where the release gets signed, so doing it here saves us paperwork at your booth.
Two minutes at your booth.
Your machines, your parts, your words. If you’d rather not be on camera yourself, put an operator or an engineer in front of it — honestly, that’s usually the better video.
You get your file.
Within a week of the show closing, emailed to you. Nothing is published before you have your copy.
Get on camera and sign the release.
One form, two jobs: it tells me how to find you, and it’s the permission slip so neither of us is signing paper on a loud show floor. Every field except the last one is required.
Not into being filmed? Fair.
Leave an email and I’ll send the recap after the show — what I saw, what buyers kept asking about, and the videos when they’re published. That’s the whole list, and you can leave it in one click.
What happens to the footage.
You get your copy first, always — emailed within a week of the show closing, before anything goes public. After that the videos live on this page and go out across my channels, with your company named and linked.
What I won’t do: cut you into an ad for something you didn’t agree to, hand the footage to a third party, or hold it hostage behind a sales call. If you change your mind next month, email me and it comes down. That’s a real promise, not a legal one — it’s written into the release above.
Questions before you say yes.
Does this actually cost anything?
No. Not now, not after. There’s no invoice, no trial, and no “first one’s free” catch. I get footage of real shops, you get a video you can use. That’s the whole trade.
Do I have to be on camera myself?
No. Your machines and your parts can carry the whole thing, and an operator or engineer talking about what they run is usually better video than the owner anyway.
How long does it really take?
Two to five minutes at your booth. I show up with a camera and a mic, not a crew and lights. If the floor is slammed, I’ll come back.
When do I get my file?
Within a week of the show closing, emailed to you — the cut version and the raw footage. You see it before anyone else does.
Are you selling something?
Not on camera. I run a small agency that builds websites and search presence for manufacturers, and if you want to talk about that, everything I do and what it costs is public on the manufacturers page. But that’s your move to make, not mine.
Can we do this in Spanish?
Yes. I’m bilingual, Colombian Spanish, and half the best shop-floor conversations I have are in Spanish. Tell me on the form and we’ll shoot it that way.
Two minutes. Your shop. Your file to keep.
I’m at McCormick Place through Saturday. Text me a booth number and a time, or leave it on the form and I’ll come find you.
