Captains of Industry moves back to Boston

Captains of Industry, a marketing and film-making firm with about a dozen staffers, is moving from Watertown to Boston’s historic Faneuil Hall area.
“Watertown has been very good for us,” agency cofounder and executive producer Fred Surr said in a statement, “but it’s time for us to be a Boston agency again.”

The agency said in a press release: “Captains of Industry, founded in 1997, began on Newbury Street in Boston and moved to Watertown in 2003 to accommodate its growing staff. The move back to Boston is being driven by the need to be closer to Boston-based clients, make it easier to recruit new talent, and reduce the consumption of fossil fuels that lead to global warming.”

In addition to design and account service, the new Boston office includes a full in-house video production facility.

The company said it works with such brands as Bose Professional Systems, First Wind, SolidWorks, and Constellation New Energy.
