Our company’s greatest strengths are speed, scale, and adaptability. We make video and events happen all over Jersey and beyond, taking on projects of all sizes, scales, and timelines. And we wouldn’t be able to do it without the incredible MediaCutlet team.

Our full-timers, part-timers, and contractors, most of whom also work for our sister brand Hurricane Productions, come to us from all walks of life and career backgrounds. That diversity of thought and experiences allows us to think way outside the box and deliver creative solutions to our B2B and private event clients.

Here’s a little bit about the awesome people we’re proud to call our team.
