Getting Involved in Community

Some exciting new redevelopments are occurring in downtown San Jose. One of these is the innovative new San Pedro Square Public Market. Slated to open this August, the Market will become San Jose’s version of San Francisco’s Ferry Building or Seattle’s Pike Place Market.

WMS media strongly believes in giving back to the community. So we reached out to the market manager, Steve Borkenhagen, to see how we could help. One thing led to another with Steve giving us a tour of the project site. Long story short, Steve’s team agreed to enlist WMS media to produce a series of videos to promote the project. We will be producing at least one new video a month leading up to the opening.

One purpose of the videos is to make the community aware of the principal players behind the market and share in their fun and whimsical natures as well as vision. We also want to give the viewers something to smile about and add to the viral potential on YouTube. A second purpose is to share with the community the actual month-by-month progress. We will accomplish that through virtual tours and interviews with key players during the construction phases.

So far the response has been very positive, and we expect more and more people will be paying attention to our video messages. To see for yourself, take a look at the YouTube videos.
