In the first two months of 2014, Ghost Productions has been approached by more new clients and delivered more project proposals than the company ever has since the company was founded in 1994. Though many of the clients requesting projects are established medtech firms launching new products, there has been a substantial increase in newly funded startups. It would appear as though venture capital firms are funding new medical companies at rates not experienced in well over a decade. Clients are coming in from all over the world with new and innovative products making this an exciting year for everyone who works in healthcare or will need healthcare.

Another area of significant growth realized by Ghost Productions has been in the increase of clients requiring massive volumes of media. Ghost rang in 2014 by kicking off several projects that require a significant volume of media. Some of these projects will take all year to complete and will result in significantly more hours of finished animation than are produced by any major motion picture studio. It would seem that key players in the medical industry have fully realized the significance of utilizing the best media to promote technologies, train healthcare providers, and educate patients. One thing that that is certain, 2014 will be a year of unprecedented innovation and advancements in medical technology.
