Health Hazard 4: Production Anemia

Creating video content for you company can be painful enough. So, when it comes to video production, try not to overdo it or underdo it. Your next video doesn’t have to rival “Avatar.” But it also shouldn’t rival a YouTube cat video.

There’s no need to be extravagant in terms of the shooting locations or postproduction. On the other hand, don’t make your video look so anemic that it reflects poorly on your brand. Find the healthy balance.

Beard Boy videos bring home the iron: As in the gleaming Emmy, CLIO and Telly awards we’ve won for our clients. But more importantly, we energize marketing departments by taking the stress of video production off their desks. Handling every aspect of content creation, from concept to asset management. We then add value by offering single-video, video-package and video-subscription services, at a value that others can’t match.

Health Hazard 3: Creative Narcissism

Let’s face it, creating a video for your company often brings nagging pain. You’re mega-busy. Your staff’s workload is skyrocketing. Budgets are tight. Deadlines are tighter. And there’s plenty of stress cubicle-wide.

So how do you do a video right—and right now? Well, to start, keep in mind that you’re creating the video for your audience, not for yourself. Your talents and tastes are important in evaluating the script, storyboard and edit flow of the project. But it’s really about the person on the receiving end of your appeal. And that requires knowing your audience—and letting their desires rule—in order for your production to succeed.

Think of us as the stress ball of video production—a solution to the time-consuming, staff-absorbing pain of scripting, shooting, editing and repurposing your content over a wide variety of platforms, right at your fingertips. Leveraging 30 years of experience to handle every aspect of content creation, so you don’t have to. Then adding value by offering single-video, video-package and video-subscription services, at a value others can’t match.

How a Respected University Earned an Advanced Degree in Video Production Cost Efficiency

From coast to coast, our clients share a common pain point: How to affordably create an ever-growing volume of video content for online, on-air and in-person distribution—content that’s on brand, on message and on time—all in the face of a burgeoning workload, staffing limitations and budgetary restrictions.

Well, for a well-regarded health care university, we prescribed pain relief in the form of a master class in strategic video production: Leveraging our exclusive Shoot & Repurpose™ approach, we shot every element of the university—building a footage archive of the school’s educational programs, facilities, technology, faculty, student life and more–all in a single week.

That singular shoot has since provided footage and elements for over 70 videos. And that has allowed this client to amortize the cost of that shoot down to just a few hundred dollars per video. Smart. Cost effective. Here’s a sample:

A Study in Efficiency

But that’s just the beginning. Today, we take the stress of video production off your desk with single-video, video-package and video-subscription services that add multi-platform versions and value to each project, all at a price others can’t match.

That in mind, what initiatives are you tasked with bringing to life in 2023? What are the challenges you face? Contact us now and we’ll give you a free evaluation of how our Shoot & Repurpose™ service can save you thousands of dollars over the next few months.

Health Hazard 2: Ego Bruising

Your company has an ego— a sense of itself and its status in the competitive marketplace. And like a peach, it can bruise easily—especially if the marketing department creates public-facing video content that’s less like a peach and more like the pit.

So make sure that the video you intend to produce will end up looking and feeling like it comes from your company. And that it communicates a simple, compelling message that gives the audience a strong reason to respond. In short, ensure that it showcases the sweet, fresh-picked, peachy goodness of your corporate brand.

Cooling Down the Hot Seat

Let’s put ego aside and get real: When it comes to producing video content these days, marketers like you are on the hot seat. Each video has to be on task, on brand, on schedule and on budget. In response, we take your office chair and cool it off—by handling every aspect of video content creation. We then add value by offering single-video, video-package and video-subscription services, at a value-driven price others can’t match. Result: your company’s (and your) ego emerge unbruised.
