A BRAND FILM CAMPAIGN FROM $50K
April / May
End-to-end with an ad agency / production company hybrid
Brand: Can you write an ad for us?
Me: Yes
Brand: Oh, you can make it too?
Me: …and yes
Offering you a rare breed of ad agency smarts with production company finesse, so you don’t have to engage 2 different companies with 10-15 heads and months of budget funnelled into the void.
My experience as an ad agency creative who’s freelanced for 20+ award winning agencies + hands-on time in the studio directing film can streamline your next campaign for a fraction of what you’d pay for classic ad agency plus production company machine.
Increasingly I’m finding brands are either spending far too much on brand film, or quite simply being locked out of it because to engage an ad agency plus production company is overpriced.
The other thing I’m seeing is brands simply engaging videographers for content, which is great but videographers aren’t trained in brand narrative and understanding target audiences.
Where campaign thinking and filmmaking often split between agencies and production companies, we walk in both worlds.
From shaping concept, to writing the campaign to hopping in the studio and edit room, the process is fluid. Bringing those disciplines together allows the work to move directly from brief to finished campaign without the added layers of engagement.
I enjoy love working this way. It keeps the process highly-collaborative and the conversations direct, client to specialist.
The result is clear creative thinking combined with cinematic execution — supporting brand campaigns, product launches, brand films and social cutdowns without the layers and expense of a full agency + production company structure.
Limited July allocation.
What you get for $50k
This is already far less than you’ll pay a production company to make the ad, but you’ll also get the concept and script work - a function that an ad agency will typically perform.
And how do we do it so lean? Because we’re cutting out the red tape and theatre that is slowing down the process. We’re cutting the politics out, jumping straight on the phone and saving potentially weeks of back and forth.
