SolidLine Makes First Annual Pro100 List

Our friends at ProductionHub created the first annual "Pro100 List" which highlights the top 100 profiles hosted on their site, and SolidLine made the cut! ProductionHub is a member-based online database for professionals in the production industry to not only connect with one another but to also create new opportunities for their production businesses. Companies seeking production services can easily submit an online request on ProductionHub which will then be sent to companies that specialize in the services their project requires. And if they are lucky, SolidLine will be responding as one of those companies! Take a look at the full Pro100 list and SolidLine's profile.

"It is an honor to have made the Pro100 List," states Executive Producer Greg Vass. "We have been ProductionHub members for 12 years now and it has been a big part of growing our company. They are great partners and it has been a lot of fun to grow along with them."

Check out our blog for more information on ProductionHub and the Pro100 list!

Introducing SLM Crew Member Matt Kudla

We are excited to announce the latest addition to the SolidLine crew: Director of Sales and Marketing, Matt Kudla. Matt came on board to help with business development efforts which includes creating new sales strategies, establishing relationships with new clients, and overseeing partnerships. His passion for sales and marketing is hard to beat, and he's fitting right in with the rest of the crew! We are excited to have him on board and be a part of all the new opportunities he creates for SolidLine.

"I was immediately drawn to SolidLine because of the phenomenal work that is done here everyday," Matt says. "By introducing a business development strategy that plays off of our strengths, we are going to be able to accelerate the growth of our company, while freeing up the production staff to focus entirely on delivering more great work for our clients. This is going to be a very exciting time for all of us! I'm also really looking forward to dominating the chili cook off and taking the trophy from John."
