World Awareness

Hi Folks. Simply Interactive is primarily founded on two principles that guide the direction of our company. Customer Service, and Community Awareness. Simply Interactive believes that our customers will be able to tell for themselves how great our quality is so we do not spend much time talking about that. The fact is that each of you will make up your mind when you see our demos and whatever we say will not affect your perception after that. So, we completely throw ourselves into customer service. Community awareness is of vital importance to us too. Both in a local sense (we are currently scheduled to perform video and editing service for a local non profit seeking funding for medical research though I am not at liberty to say who yet), as well as a global sense as evidenced a few months ago when we auctioned off a wedding video on eBay where all the proceeds went to CAMFED through NETAID. It is very important to me that both my company and I leave a positive impact in all the communities who support us as well as recognize our power to ease trials others are going through. It is in this sense of community awareness that I encourage anyone who can to do whatever they can for the Sudanese.
NETAID is a filter that transfers funds at a ratio of 1 to 1 directly to the Fund of your choice. NETAID seeks out the needs for funds, investigates the organization behind it, qualifies their need and where the money is to be going/spent, and all so we don't have to. Please Help If You Can.

Now Serving the Coastal Areas of Northern California

I am very happy to say that Simply Interactive llc has just signed a contract with Jim Hatlo, a Carmel native, to act as an authorized representative of Simply Interactive llc in the greater Monterey Bay Area. Effectively, he will be providing videography service from Santa Barbara all the way through to Half Moon Bay, as well as parts of Los Gatos. This agreement has been in the works for the better part of 6 months and is beneficial for all involved including you, our customers. Traditionally, when an event is more than 60 miles from our base of operations (Menlo Park), additional fees for hotel stays are required to ensure we are not exhausted while travelling, or not up to par for your event. Under this agreement, all central California coastal areas will not have to worry about this extra fee. Jim Hatlo and I have been working together on various projects since 1997 and, in fact, was my mentor when I first started getting involved in multimedia. Since then I have gone on to receive many awards for the pioneering work I have been involved with in the realm of web and handheld device multimedia development, but Jim definitely gave me a launching pad into my career choice. It is to my honor that he now works for me in a company that in no small part was built around his direction when I first started getting into the business. Simply Interactive is now and has always been 1 part Rusty and 1 part Jim even though he was not on board yet. More on Jim will come later in the About Us section of the website. Welcome Jim!
