Media Services

The Michoud Assembly Facility’s Media Services Department stands ready to help you effectively convey your corporate message through photography, multimedia presentations, and marketing materials.

A picture is worth a thousand words, and our photography staff can help you capture images that grab your audience’s Media Services attention. From corporate portraits to product shots and event documentation, photos have become an integral part of a corporate presentation and the right imagery can help your business presentations shine.

In today’s business environment, marketing materials are critical to a company’s success. Michoud’s Graphic Designer can help you break through the marketing clutter, by designing print and electronic materials that stand off of the page or screen and command the attention of your audience. From brochures to billboards, and everything in between, effective marketing materials sell themselves.

People love a good story, and your business can tell a great story through the use of video and multimedia content. MAF’s Multimedia department can help you produce a video that motivates your audience to action, documents an event or trains your workforce, while consistently reinforcing your business’s marketing efforts.

By locating your business at Michoud, the Media Services department is on site, ready to help you effectively communicate your corporate message.
