A Journey of Growth and Confidence
Our journey on Upwork began in 2021 when Jordan, our founder, started his freelance career. The platform provided a foundation to grow not only in skillset but also in confidence as a business owner and video production service provider. Through Upwork, we connected with many of our current clients, building relationships that have been instrumental in shaping JSB Video into what it is today.

The Vetting Process: A Closer Look
Earning the Expert-Vetted badge involved a rigorous and comprehensive vetting process that truly put our skills, experience, and professionalism to the test.
An In-Depth Interview
One of the most significant aspects of the vetting process was an in-depth interview with an Upwork Talent Manager. This wasn’t just a standard interview; it was an opportunity to showcase not only our technical skills but also our soft skills. Jordan, representing JSB Video, engaged in a detailed conversation with the Talent Manager, discussing everything from project management and client communication to creative problem-solving and team leadership.
Showcasing Our Journey
During the interview, Jordan had the chance to reflect on our journey with Upwork, sharing insights into how the platform helped us grow from a fledgling freelance operation to a thriving video production company. We talked about the challenges we faced, the lessons we learned, and the successes that have defined our path.
Highlighting Complex Projects
The vetting process also involved an exploration of some of our most complicated and high-stakes projects. We walked the Talent Manager through the intricate details of these projects, from initial client consultation to final delivery. This included explaining how we handled multi-location shoots, coordinated with various stakeholders, and managed tight deadlines—all while maintaining the high standards of quality that JSB Video is known for.
Sharing Our New Website
As part of the vetting process, we also had the opportunity to share our newly launched website. This site not only showcases our portfolio but also highlights our capabilities, approach, and the wide range of services we offer. The website served as a testament to our commitment to continuous improvement and innovation, something that clearly resonated with the Upwork team.
