  1. Tell us a little bit about your company.

BrandStar was founded in 2005 and over the years we have expanded as one of the leading full-service content marketing and broadcast production firms in the country. We currently have around 150 employees at our 30,000-square-foot studio campus in Deerfield Beach.

  1. We heard you just merged with Paton Marketing. Tell us about the decision and your plans.

Our merger with Paton Marketing, a leading digital marketing company, will be instrumental in our growth both locally and nationally. We are now able to offer our clients additional    specialized services offered by Todd Paton and his team. These services include online  reputation management, website development and search engine optimization. This is the perfect fit for both organizations as we move forward together. Our cultures, work ethic, and enthusiasm are incredibly similar. This is an exciting time for both firms. Todd’s commitment to promoting entrepreneurism is truly unique. He regularly offers his well-known free seminar – Dominate Your Industry – which teaches attendees the basics of online marketing. He is also the author of “Online Underdog”, a book which chronicles his entrepreneurial journey. He is a great resource and example for all of us as well as our clients.
