"Wheelabrator Technologies has had the district pleasure of working with Jay Childs and JBC Communications for the last several years to achieve our marketing goals. JBC consistently brings to our events an organized, well-planned yet flexible and highly creative approach that is executed flawlessly, and always with a sense of humor.
JBC traveled with our public relations team to Baltimore, Maryland to manage the filming and live streaming of our four-day environmental symposium featuring 12 schools and 120 middle school students, teachers and school administrators, ViP panelists as well as Wheelabrator executives, employees and special community guests. JBC engaged students and adults alike with a contagious enthusiasm, resulting in a delightful experience for attendees, an entertaining live stream product for viewers at home as well as high-quality coverage and testimonials for long-term brand building.
Not only did JBC perform with precision, the company also did so with little knowledge of the venue since we were forced to relocate the events away from downtown Baltimore last minute due to the events unfolding there in April 2015. The JBC team remained flexible and came prepared for any scenario and that ensured our overall success yet again. We are grateful for the company's ongoing support and we highly recommend JBC as a media partner."

"When our Catholic high school decided it wanted to invest in a video that would best tell the story of our school community, we interviewed several different professionals. Each videographer had reputable experiences and resumes. Our admissions and marketing team, however, felt there was something particularly special about Jay Childs, something that told us he would create more than “just a video,” rather that he would bring our story to life. And that is exactly what he did.
Over the course of 10 months, Jay canvassed our campus, captured our biggest events and activities, interviewed our faculty and staff and caught the vibrancy and energy of our students. He connected our school mission with our marketing vision in a way that can only be done by intuitive expertise. While most of us see only what is right in front of us, Jay sees layers and texture and opportunity. Time and time again, he turned an ordinary moment into an extraordinary part of our overall story. Professionally, working with Jay was an absolute pleasure. He is a reliable, energetic, focused videographer with a contagiously positive personality. His “can-do!” spirit allowed us to overcome spontaneous hurdles such as rain, schedule changes, and school vacation times.
Each day, I strive to accurately depict our school’s community and culture with words. What takes me a great deal of time to do, Jay managed to do succinctly, accurately, and authentically in an 11 minute video. Our video has received rave reviews from all who have seen it because it is done so very well and because it is a true depiction of St. Thomas Aquinas High School that we are proud to share with all of our past, current and prospective families. We have been tremendously blessed by Jay’s skills and expertise. His talent is a rare and beautiful gift."

"Combat Sports Group had a terrific opportunity to launch our newest composite baseball bats for youth baseball and Jay and the team at JBC were just the resource we needed to help tell our story. The entire crew was incredibly helpful, patient and most of all creative and we ended up with one of the best marketing tools we could have. Our new Maxum bat was beautifully and creatively represented in a series of videos that offered the perfect communication tool to entice our target audience. JBC Film Group did a terrific job from concept development to scripting and all the way through post production and editing. They are a great team and resource and no doubt we will be working with them again.”

“We had over a dozen companies from at least four states bidding on our video project; JBC Communications instantly emerged as the top contender for the job and delivered exactly what we needed, on time and on budget. Our sit-down interviews were beautifully lit and framed. But what mattered even more to me, as a former television producer/reporter, is Jay’s embrace of the creative process and innate sense of patience. He’s seasoned enough to know just how to let a story unfold, but also understands contemporary design and pacing. More than anything, I appreciated his collaborative nature and genuine enjoyment in working with clients, not just for them.”

“Documenting a highly technical project like the horizontal directional drill at Little Bay Bridge was no easy task to ask of any vendor. JBC was a true partner during this project delivering creative direction, field personnel coordination and off-hours responsiveness due to the shifting timelines and weather. We were thrilled with the final product.”

He’s a consummate filmmaker, with a keen sense of story, a great eye and the sharpest editing skills in New England. He’s also a pleasure to work with, and understands the need to adhere to schedules and budgets. I highly recommend JBC Communications for your project.”

“Jay is the definition of professional. We’ve been working together on numerous high-def video projects that have taken us from Portugal to Turkey to Mexico City, and around the states. The results simply speak for themselves. Jay is the type of businessman you can rely on. On-budget, time, and quality. We’ve output to Blu-Ray, streaming, WMV, MOV, MP4, and many other flavors to suit the myriad of needs that have come our way. I highly recommend Jay and his storytelling and production work (both corporate and documentary)."
