“We were so fortunate to have found Amie Simon and her incredible team at Smarthouse. They have been so creative, strategic, thoughtful and careful with our film, A Tree of Life: The Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting, and have managed our social channels from initial release to a multi -year impact campaign with a great deal of care and passion. We couldn’t recommend them more highly. They have played such a critical role and have been an essential part of our team. ”

“Amie and her team at Smarthouse Creative truly cared about my brand and really helped me on my first big event in Los Angeles. I was never left in the dark and they always kept me aware of how their outreach was going! I can’t thank them enough for their hard work and hustle!”

“As a comedian, social media can feel overwhelming because the ‘brand’ or ‘product’ you’re attempting to market is yourself. My fear was that fine tuning my social media would be limiting, but Amie at Smarthouse has helped me develop a long term strategy that works best for me. She also was there to provide real insight into different ideas that I feel allow me to promote myself as a whole person instead of a three word branding strategy.”

“I truly cannot say enough good things about Amie and her team at Smarthouse Creative. She came highly recommended by a well-regarded industry veteran and exceeded even my greatest expectations. Thanks entirely to her creative and targeted thinking, we had sold out festival screenings and had a huge increase in our digital engagement. Responsive, diligent, and an absolute pleasure to work with, I’d highly recommend this team when it comes time to usher your film into the world!”

“Simply put: The folks at Smarthouse are the consummate professionals. They helped fashion a hugely successful campaign, with smart analytical thinking, lottsa experience, and always a sense of humor. Thank you so much Amie!!!”

“We hired Smarthouse Creative for key moments through our documentary film release. They were incredible to work with, cared deeply about the film’s themes and issues, and were endlessly creative. Our team would absolutely hire Smarthouse Creative again.”

“Smarthouse Creative jumped in as our PR firm for a run at SIFF and with very little lead time, very few media assets from our production team, and a hefty workload already on their plate, the team delivered with flying colors. We were able to reach a a large audience via print, web, and television to help with our run in Seattle. Ryan and the team were thorough, professional, and worked with us to tailor a personalized PR strategy that, once implemented, greatly exceeded expectations! Highest possible recommendation!”

“We hired Smarthouse to help us with our World Premiere of All Sorts at the Seattle International Film Festival. Ryan was able to secure us a good amount of reviews, a wonderful feature in The Stranger, and a generous feature on KING 5 Evening. We found Smarthouse to be quite thrifty with our small budget, and my producer and I both thought they overperformed. Highly recommend!”

“‘The Breach’ is my best attempt at a love story for wild salmon and I spent five years working on it. I placed the care of its social media run during our 20-city national tour into the capable hands of Ryan and Brad and it was a true delight. I relied on Smarthouse implicitly - they were always available for me and brought it home again and again with their brilliant campaign.”

“Ryan is always my first call when we need press and PR support for our projects. She’s tireless, patient, and a joy to collaborate with. And people actually answer her calls and emails! But perhaps the best part about working with Smarthouse is that you can give them a massive wish list and know that they will explore every avenue… that’s a huge piece of mind for us.”

“As a first time director, I was overwhelmed with the number of film festivals there were to choose from so I consulted with Brad Wilke from Smarthouse Creative to come up with a strategy. A programmer with extensive knowledge of the market, Brad educated me on what to look for in a festival and went on to make recommendations based on my film. In addition, he prepared me for what to expect once accepted and how to get the most out of the festival experience. As a result, I’m proud to report ‘A Matter of Prejudice’ went on to win the Gold Lion for Best Professional Narrative Short at the 2017 George Lindsey UNA Film Festival. One of Brad’s recommendations, it was an incredible opportunity I might have otherwise missed. I’m so grateful I strategized with Smarthouse Creative. They saved me time, money and worry and helped me find my audience.”

“Working with Ryan Davis at Smarthouse Creative was an absolute joy. She helped me get global press for my documentary project ‘Losing Sight of Shore’ that there’s no way I could have gotten on my own. I highly recommend working with such amazing and hard working people like Ryan. Your project is in great hands!”

“We loved working with Smarthouse Creative for the 5th edition of the Romanian Film Festival! Our main objectives were to reach out to a more diverse audience, have the festival covered by the local media and secure interviews for our special guests - they did a really great job. And besides all this, they’re very fun to work with, responsive and creative- true to their name :) I totally recommend them!”

“Having Smarthouse Creative on our team as we embarked on our crowdfunder for Personhood, was a huge asset. At each stage of the planning and execution, Amie Simon gave us personalized attention and advice that helped us reach our ambitious goal. I highly recommend checking out their services!”

“Ryan Davis is the QUEEN of the Universe, she makes planets spin and stars glow. I am so deeply grateful and pleased with all of her excellent help, advice and herding of my strange ideas. She makes them go from ‘out of my mind’ to ‘out of this world’.”

“I just want to say how glad I am to be working with Smarthouse and how challenging, amazing, and clarifying your process is. So glad I attended your 253 Film Summit workshop and that it led to this! Thank you!”

“Thanks for another great year. Your ability to open new publicity avenues for us allows me to concentrate on putting on the show confident that Ryan, Brad and their team are getting the word out. ”

“Thank you Ryan Davis and the Smarthouse team. The October screening of Headhunt Revisited could not have come together without your coordination, media outreach and participation at the cocktail opening through the Q & A. The audience was so engaged and complimentary! Planning is important and Smarthouse knows how to pull it all together.”

“We worked with Smarthouse Creative on the VOD launch of our documentary, Adele and Everything After and had a great experience. They did a fantastic job getting us local and national coverage in magazines, newspapers, radio and TV. They also ran a strategic Facebook advertising campaign that achieved excellent results and helped to drive both exposure and sales. The team from Smarthouse is thoughtful, well-informed and easy to work with. I highly recommend Smarthouse Creative as a partner to ensure your film gets the right exposure.”

“Working with Smarthouse was an absolute pleasure from beginning to end. Their singular attention to detail and their intuitive understanding of my project’s demographic led to massive, targeted exposure that has benefited my film tremendously. I cannot say enough good things about working with this company. They worked within my budget and delivered astounding results. I highly recommend this company to all independent filmmakers. You’d be hard-pressed to find a more effective PR team for your film.”

“Smarthouse Creative lives up to its name. As an independent filmmaker, I’m grateful to have this incredible company in my corner. Thank you for all the work you do, team Smarthouse!”
