Meet Christopher Vasquez | Creative Director Prism Media

We had the good fortune of connecting with Christopher Vasquez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Christopher, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Starting Prism Media was born out of a passion for creativity, visual storytelling, and a desire to provide exceptional media and marketing services to the West Coast region. We recognized the growing demand for high-quality photography, video production, and effective marketing strategies in the West Coast region. We saw an opportunity to combine our expertise in these areas and create a business that could cater to the specific needs of photography and video production projects, as well as marketing and brand identity clientele. Our thought process involved conducting market research, identifying gaps in the industry, and developing a unique value proposition that would set us apart from competitors. We wanted to build a brand that would be known for its creativity, professionalism, and ability to deliver outstanding results.
