About Us
Marketing is becoming less about selling and peddling wares and more about telling a genuine story.
The greatest differentiating factor is not just your product or service, but about who you are as an organization. Companies successful at marketing focus on getting their story heard and told in the most effective and memorable way possible.
Started in 2005, Skillman Video Group, LLC came of age just as YouTube and social media were launched, which opened up entirely new avenues for businesses to tell their story.
Using our expertise and internet marketing, we were able to sign up clients such as Yamaha and Gillette and help them better tell their company’s story.
Based out of Boston MA, Skillman Video Group produces world class video content for the web in the B2B and B2C markets. Our clients range in size from small-to-medium businesses to some of the biggest brands in the world.
How do we help every one of our clients?
By working hard to find the “soul” of the company and help them tell their authentic story.
It doesn’t matter what industry or product, the visual stories we create are beautiful, engaging, honest, and serve a purpose.
Whether you need to start from scratch, ramp up your existing business operations, or just obtain some perspective from outside your own brainstorming sessions, Skillman Video Group, LLC is here to help you position your brand in the market and grow your business.

Our
Story
When working with our clients, we go by the mantra of “telling a genuine story”. Stories have a profound and powerful effect on the growth of modern marketing initiatives.
The process of storytelling is oriented around creative solutions to developing content. SVG doesn’t just preach the idea as a tenant of online marketing. We have lived our story and experienced the benefit of sharing our story firsthand.
Christina Skillman, Founder & CEO of Skillman Video Group, started her career working in local cable television. Inspired by the success of her first documentary production in the United Kingdom, “Billericay, England” (for which she won a national award in 2003), Christina started Skillman Video Group from a Somerville apartment in 2005.
Using the burgeoning tools of the internet to recruit prospective businesses and organizations, Skillman Video Group has evolved into an international video production and video content agency. SVG has created video content for local Boston and New England clientele as well as national and international audiences.
The mission behind SVG is to meld business-minded productions with a creative filmmaking bent. Skillman Video Group was founded on two particular ideals: the highest possible production work, and a close and ongoing connection with our clients.
After working with clients such as Yamaha and Gillette, word about Skillman Video Group spread. From the onset, SVG prided itself on a personal touch. Christina’s focus on building strong and lasting client relationships has undoubtedly contributed to SVG’s rapid growth.
SVG has since relocated to new offices in the heart of downtown Boston. SVG has done work with local law firms, the Country Music Association, and even the Rwandan government. We have a well-established intern program, and are helping to train the next generation of videographers. But at its heart, SVG is still about the same fundamental: telling your genuine story and putting it out into the world for all to see.
