Meet the Owner - Tell Us About Yourself!
James Ward -- With over 14 years of experience as the co-owner and founder of Creative Content OnDemand, I lead a team of multimedia professionals who provide turnkey video production, photography, social media management, public relations, and brand consulting services to our clients. We create award-winning video campaigns, increase business sales, and enhance brand awareness through our innovative and flexible subscription model that gives access to our virtual on-demand marketing department.
Before launching my own business, I worked in major market television news for three decades as a news photographer, special project video editor, commercial production director, and ENG/SNG truck operator. I have extensive knowledge and skills in videography, editing, sound, lighting, and live broadcasting. I have also conducted public speaking engagements, volunteered as a team leader, and won multiple awards for my work. I am passionate about using my media expertise and communication skills to help businesses and individuals grow and succeed.

Ingage was founded in 2013 and as a Certified MBE, Mike wanted to create a company that did NOT simply relay on a rubber stamp, but rather delivered real and quantifiable value to our customers. Joining the CCSNJ has been several years in the making. Now that we have joined the Chamber, we are ready to be a resource and grow our business.
