Client Testimonials
We have worked with Barron Media for several years and have grown to trust Pete and his team implicitly. Their experience, creativity, and empathy make them the perfect media partners for us as a charity.
Lisa Taylor
Markerting Manager, North East Autism SocietyChris took responsibility for a hugely complex film project for us that took place over a week. Throughout he was calm, strategic, charming, and took the pressure away from all of us - whether it was managing a drone in inclement weather or filming a one to one with the client.
We were grateful that he managed to always be in the right place at the right time without ever being intrusive. We put this down to his meticulous planning and unassuming character.
The final product was exactly what our client was after and was shown widely. We would highly recommend Chris and Barron Media.
