RELEASE: Luna Productions Brings its Brilliant Web, Graphic Design and Video
Talent for Construction Industry Marketing to a New Fort
Lauderdale Location
FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida – January 31, 2007 – The
sky is not the limit, and the moon is within reach as Luna Productions (www.lunaprosfl.com)
makes access to their website, design and video services more convenient for
construction industry clients.
Luna moved from Boynton
Beach to Ft. Lauderdale in January. The company’s
expanded offices, located in Victoria Park, are now closer to existing and prospective
clients. With the move, the company plans to add staff to accommodate its growing
business. Luna’s current clients are many of South Florida’s key
players in the building industry including James A. Cummings, Moss & Associates,
and Sharpe Project Developments.
Owner Luis Lanao attributed
his company’s growth to efficient, customer-centric
service. “Our clients do not have time to meet with independent
photographers, designers, copywriters and printers. We provide the most
creative talent for branding, web design, graphic design, photography and video
production, at an affordable rate in one location.”
Encouraging clients to
maximize the use of video for construction projects is Luna’s goal in 2007. “Our building and construction clients can
learn from the tourism industry which quickly adopted online 3-D imaging and
video to showcase hotel rooms and destinations. Video is such an effective vehicle
for highlighting a company and its projects. Slow internet connections are no
longer a deterrent for online presentation,” added Mr. Lanao.
Capturing footage of job
sites is Lanao’s favorite part of doing his
job. “I think through video we realize the heart and soul that goes into
building projects.” Lanao captures that essence through beautifully edited
pieces that highlight not only the company but also the people behind the company. “We
look forward to this coming year and becoming even more involved with the industry,” he
added.
