About Us:
Elevated Media was born out of Gino’s passion for exploring the world from a higher perspective. He would be in awe when taking his drone on vacations to places such as Jamaica or Dominican Republic. It wasn’t long before the hotels and resorts he’d film took notice of his work and acknowledging his hobby as a valuable skill. It was then that Gino began to realize his passion for flying could turn into a business for people.
The companies first few years was primarily focused on the real estate industry. Various brokers and agents throughout the NY Metro area who had million-dollar listings would call on Gino to help their properties stand out from the rest. Using high quality aerial stills and cinematic video, Gino’s work would increase visibility and offers which would ultimately lead to generating more sales in less time.
As these successes began to accumulate, agents began retaining Gino’s services for their personal affairs such as weddings, proposals and even their children’s birthday parties.
Naturally, as Elevate’s services developed their commitment to giving back expanded. As having had served on the Board for the Rotary, the virtue of service above self has made a lasting impression on Gino’s philosophy towards business. In 2021, an agreement was made with Rescue Meals. Since then Elevated Media has donated over 5,000 meals to the homeless and continues to donate 100 meals for every person who transacts business with their company.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
For me, my passion for flying drones began through travel. I would always travel with my drone to capture the places I would visit from a new perspective. Whether it'd be the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles or the Carribean Shores of Jamaica, there was always something that fascinated me about elevating my perspective.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I am so fortunate to have worked with such a diverse range of clients. When I first began my professional journey as a drone operator, I worked primarily with realtors who were looking for a way to make their listings stand out from the crowd and sell faster. That naturally expanded into working with developers and business owners on commercial properties, as well as property owners looking to rent their homes on platforms such as Airbnb. I then started getting calls about capturing some of my clients’ most special memories at events such as proposals, weddings and family get togethers. It has really been an incredible journey to be able to witness so many magical moments from the sky.
