In May, SPLEX One had the privilege of partnering with the New York City Public Schools (NYCPS) Office of Business Development to document a dynamic series of events aimed at empowering small businesses, building stronger school-community partnerships, and inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurs.

Working closely with Dr. Tammy Pate, Senior Executive Director of the Office of Business Development, Selena Sanchez and Leslie Dunn, SPLEX One provided complete media coverage, including high-quality video production and photography, across a full week of engagements.

Our team was led by Business Development Executive Eli Pizarro and Media Director Yaniel Paulino, an Emmy-nominated director known for his captivating visual storytelling and artistic style. Under their leadership, SPLEX One captured every key moment with precision, professionalism, and a keen eye for impact.

Throughout the week, we documented a diverse range of events that celebrated small business innovation and community connection. Highlights included:

Key highlights from the week included:

  • A special workshop on "How to Do Business with Amazon", where small businesses learned directly from Amazon representatives about scaling their brands on the global marketplace.
  • The Indoor Restaurant Crawl, showcasing local culinary talent like Salsa Caterers, Black Rican Vegan, and Bake Me Healthy — encouraging school decision-makers to shop local for meetings and events.
  • The Small Business and Public School Leadership Breakfast, bringing together school leaders and entrepreneurs for relationship-building conversations over a shared vision of community impact.
  • The capstone event: the Small Business Professional Learning Conference, culminating in an inspiring keynote address by none other than Daymond John, entrepreneur, author, and star of ABC’s Shark Tank.

Through our detailed event coverage, SPLEX One ensured that these powerful moments were not just experienced by attendees, but also preserved to extend their influence far beyond the events themselves. High-quality media assets like video highlights and professional photography empower organizations like NYCPS to tell their story, inspire future partners, and document the real-world impact of their initiatives.

At SPLEX One, we believe that capturing these moments with excellence isn't just a service — it's a strategic investment. Our commitment to professionalism, creative storytelling, and flawless execution ensures that our partners can leverage their events long after the lights dim and the crowds go home.

We are honored to support the New York City Public Schools in its mission to build stronger, more connected communities through business collaboration and education. Thank you to Dr. Tammy Pate, Selena Sanchez, and the entire NYCPS team for trusting SPLEX One to help bring this vision to life.
