“Matt and Aaron offer everything you’d expect - good communication, planning, and delivery of stunning visual assets. What really sets them apart is the fresh perspective they offer. What starts with an idea banging around in my head becomes so much better in reality with their contribution. I don’t have to give overly prescriptive feed for them to dial in the little details. I would highly recommend their services for any brand or company looking for a visually stunning (and effective) campaign.”

“Citizen North is comprised of dedicated professionals who know their job extremely well and are committed to giving the best results to their clients. They use state-of-the-art technologies that make their images quite exceptional. They also have a keen eye to find and capture emotion in their subjects. We had the chance to work with them on a last minute project, where the schedule had to be revised in real time due to the weather and other unforeseen events: their professionalism still allowed them to deliver a touching and impactful video. We highly recommend them.”

“The Citizen North team was amazing to work with. Their quality, creativity and artistic skills are outstanding but what I appreciated most was how simple they were to work with. Video and photo shoots can be a daunting and time-consuming process for a hotel. We barely needed to prepare for this and the end product was awesome. I have used them for a second project and will continue to do so.”

“Citizen North was an exceptional team to work with. Both Aaron and Matt were visionaries in capturing all of what makes our property so special to our guests. They were proactive in communicating their plans and needs prior to their arrival, efficient, effective and flexible with our operational needs throughout the filming and photography process and far exceeded our expectations once we received our finished product. Thank you, Matt and Aaron and we look forward to working with you again in the future.”

“I could tell that Citizen North was different from other production companies from the first email they sent me. Their approach was sincere with backed research on our property and truly thought out how they could help us with their creative video services. I was impressed with how professional Matt and Aaron were from pitch to post-stay production. My entire hotel staff enjoyed hosting them as they were polite and self-sufficient during their entire stay. The video produced by Citizen North was phenomenal and captured our property’s personality perfectly. I would recommend Matt and Aaron for any business looking for video production.”

“I worked with Citizen North on a project for the Hilton Portland Downtown and The Duniway in Portland OR. Matt and Aaron not only do incredible work, but they can create something unique with little prep time and minimal direction. They also find a way to work within your budget without compromising the vision or quality of the project! I’d work with Matt and Aaron again in a heartbeat, not only because of the quality of their work but also because they’re laid back, easy going guys who are a joy to work with and treated our staff with great respect.”

“We recently rebranded and refurbished our hotel Blackcomb Springs Suites, and we worked with Matt & Aaron to create a video that would reflect all the changes in the property. They were highly organized and professional, and they made great suggestions before and during the filming. Working with Citizen North was easy from the first moment, and we wouldn't hesitate to contact them again for future media projects.”

“We worked with Matt and Aaron for a recent video project across two of our hotel properties in the Canadian Rockies. They were a pleasure to work with every step of the way, and I was thoroughly impressed with their creative insight, passion for their craft, and organization throughout the entire process. One aspect about Matt and Aaron that really impressed me was their dedication to ensuring all the right shots were captured to ensure the best video product. They would wake up early and work late while shooting to ensure the best lighting and moments were captured and utilized for the final video they submitted.
They delivered a product that both my team and I were very pleased with, and we know this will be a hit with our social and digital audiences. I also found they were fantastic during the editing process and very attentive to detail when suggestions were made.
I would highly recommend working with Matt and Aaron and thank them for their hard work and fantastic deliverables.”

"Citizen North was great to work with. They captured everything we were looking for on our shortlist and provided it to us in a timely and professional manner. They went out of their way to make the project easiest for all of us involved and got us just what we needed. They were by far the most understanding and easy-going media company we have worked with. 100% would hire again. They captured our town in a new light and made us look like a great place to visit."

"Working with Matt and Aron, the force behind Citizen North, was an absolute pleasure. They are easy to collaborate with, super talented and wildly creative. They have an eye for capturing the beauty and a skill for telling a story through their lens. As a small business owner, I was seeking video and photo content to help message my products and brand. They created eight GORGEOUS video clips for Instagram and a longer length company video for our website. What they delivered was beyond anything I could have imagined. The way they captured light, product, natural surroundings, people and mood — all composed under the perfect music selection and beautifully edited — is not only beautiful but artful. It’s one thing to try and communicate your brand through words and photos, but it’s another emotional and visceral experience to communicate through video; this team does it masterfully. I’m in love with the video content that we received and can’t wait for the opportunity to work with these talented artists in the future "

Sometimes you just get lucky. We get lots of e-mails offering this or that marketing assistance. Almost all get deleted. Matt and Aaron turned out to be the real deal. They were quick to grasp our video needs and creative in bringing that vision to reality. Working with them was easy and fun. The final product exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended. Give them a call. You too could get lucky."

“We gave Citizen North a daunting task of taking a 700-word script that could educate tourists from all over the world about the dangers, skills, and logistics of a hike and on their first edit, they nailed it. Every day we watch our customers lean into the screen to get closer to the film as it moves, educates, and inspires them. I could not have scripted what they delivered and am very excited to share it with over 20,000 of our customers a year”

“Working with Citizen North was an absolute pleasure. As a charity, Citizen North were very accommodating & understanding of our restrictions & constraints. They provided us with great customer service and were quick to turn around our video. Our partner was extremely pleased with the quality of our video, which was a plus. I'd highly recommend working with Aaron and Matt. They are professional, accommodating & produce fantastic content. You won't be disappointed!”
