Grand Rapids Based, DVS, Launches Production
Company, Adds Jobs
DVS Creative founded to meet client demand
Grand Rapids, Mich. – November
4, 2009 – DVS, a local media duplication and asset management company, launches
new production company, DVS Creative, to meet customer demand.
“Production management services
have been an offering of DVS for many years, however, with the paramount growth
we recently experienced the only solution was to launch a separate division with
staff to focus on video production, editing, DVD & CD authoring, and video
encoding/compression,” says Mike Kren, DVS Creative manager.
With the creation of DVS Creative,
the division currently employs 5 full-time employees, with two new hires this
month. “Our production clientele has grown over 25% within the past year, and
in the next five years we project strong double digit employee growth,” says
Kren.
“What sets DVS Creative
apart is their technical knowledge, ability to always meet the deadline, and consistent
follow-up once a project is completed,” says Holly del Rosario, Global Brand Communications,
Amway Corporation.
DVS Creative specializes in
finding or creating solutions for difficult technical projects while
stimulating the audience visually to effectively communicate a client’s
message.
“What is perhaps the most
interesting about our growth is that DVS Creative was launched to meet client
demand versus forming and pursuing new business. We had the existing business
and needed to grow to meet demand,” says Kren.
