What Our Customers Say

From the outset, the Main Media team understood our aim to add storytelling to the project experience. The team went over and above for Havens Hospices. They took time to understand the cause and why it matters to our community, which shone through the final films.

Amy Dearing / Director of Fundraising & Marketing

The entire process, from start to finish, was seamless, thanks to the efforts of the whole Main Media team. What stood out most was how well they understood our brand and how they made the families involved in filming feel at ease.

Alicia Bannister / Marketing and Communications

The team was incredibly friendly, and I had complete confidence in their ability to deliver the vision we had in mind. They fully understood Ipeco and it was clear they connected with our brand, which made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. We couldn’t be happier with the final result.
