"Look us up on the XYZ Productions web site!"

If I read a sentence and hear something like "productionzez" in my head, I do just such an end run. Also, for whatever reason, the possessive attached to a person's name, (Chris's) sounds more natural than when used with, say, a corporate name. ("That's the Shotz Brewery," as opposed to "That's Shotz's Brewery")

Also, given that you are (very sensibly) asking for grammar advice, should you really be calling these helpful souls Nazis? In this instance, shouldn't they be your Grammar Friends? Huggy Plush Grammar Pals?
