Helm’s 250th Celebrations Check In!
We are officially halfway through 2026! As we get ready for the most EPIC of celebrations as our country turns 250, we’re ready to celebrate like never before! This year has already been full of incredible opportunities and adventures that we are so thankful to have been a part of. What moments this year have been changing how you see your business, your community, and your impact on the world?
At Helm, we believe in celebrating wins and accomplishments, no matter the size, as they happen. Don’t let the year pass you by without stopping to reflect on how far you have come. And, as the world continues to watch Philadelphia, especially this July 4th, we’re watching our team accelerate their own growth in their skills and their purpose. We’re so honored to be a part.
There are so many reasons to work with Helm, and this year we are highlighting 26 of our favorites!
Here are two that we’d like to highlight this month!
10. Extensive editing options
Have old content? We can work with that. Need an epic transition? We can handle that. Want to take a filming day and make it an episode for your company to put on YouTube? Look no further. Our editing team takes footage and turns it into what dreams are made of. We’re not convinced there’s magic involved, but it sure feels like it.
23. 10-years of experience
A decade of work and many more to unfold. Ten years feels like a significant milestone to be working throughout Philadelphia and now the United States and the world, to have grown our team, to have created impact we had only dreamed of, to have won awards, and to know that, as much as we’re grateful, we’re just getting started.
When the opportunity arose to travel to Israel with Southeastern University to gather content for a brand new online Masters course that they are launching, we knew that it was something we wanted to be a part of. Travel and adventure are two of our favorite things here at Helm. As we continue to celebrate ten years at Helm, here’s a glimpse of one of our beloved clients and the adventure that we went on together last year.
Southeastern University: Learning with Dirt-crusted Shoes
“How many permits are we needing?” We ask as Ashlee responds, “Over sixty.” The staggering idea that we managed to gather so many permits in not only different languages but in different cities across Israel was a feat that we didn’t anticipate. In order to film at the historic sites, clearances were needed to capture what could only be described as a once-in-a-lifetime event.
To make history come alive for people on the other side of the world from the locations that we’d film, we needed to ensure that we could explore the breadth and depth of the history-ridden location. It was more than about having the right equipment and managing batteries, charging a camera, and recognizing that only one of us would be on-site to gather or organize it all. It was the recognition that Elijah was standing in the gap for all of the people who couldn’t or wouldn’t be able to go there. It was bridging historic relevance and even faith-filled narratives with steps and climbs, while capturing the audio from experts who would narrate the experience in a way that only elite scholars could. It was painting truth in words through the images that could be seen. Complex topics were about to reach the creative lens of what it means to physically walk through lands and cities that are thousands of years old. To create a framework for when imagination must meet content that serves as evidence for what has been pursued by students at SEU. Helm is full of creative services. Your whole story. All in-house.

Videography
We move in motion with video. Our team of creatives travel the world and capture content to be utilized in commercials, action-packed promotional videos, and extended narratives for both broadcast and episodic distribution. From technical training videos, adventure and travel documentaries, video podcasts, segments for mass markets and cable or streaming, and even social media reels, we celebrate the humans behind each and every video we create and are comfortable being on-site for live-action content capture, while making sure the people we film feel comfortable and valued each and every step of the way.
