The Approach

Three things most brands get wrong.

Social content is cheap to make badly and expensive to make well. Here’s where we focus.

Vertical-native capture

We shoot for 9:16 from the start. Framing, composition, talent blocking, all built for vertical viewing. No 16:9 content cropped in post and hoping it works.

Hook-first editing

The first 1.5 seconds decides whether anyone watches. Every clip is cut around a strong opening: pattern interrupt, movement, visual hook, or a pointed line. Platform algorithms reward retention, not intention.

Branded but not corporate

Custom captions in your brand fonts, subtle motion graphics, branded stings, all without making content feel like an advert. The best social content feels like someone made it, not a committee.

Retainer and campaign formats available. Volume discounts for ongoing series.

Formats

We capture once and cut for every platform you need. Standard deliverables from any social shoot.

How We Work Together

Most social content works best as ongoing output, not one-off drops. Three ways we typically work.

Campaign-based

Fixed scope, fixed timeline. Product launches, event coverage, one-off campaigns. Shot, edited, delivered in a defined window. Priced per project after a discovery call.

Typical clients

Product launches, event highlights, ad campaigns

FAQ

Social content, answered.

How much social content can you produce in a day?

A single focused shoot day typically produces 15-20 finished short-form clips, depending on format mix and complexity. For retainer clients we usually batch 1-2 days per month to produce a full month's content in advance. Volume scales predictably with shoot days.

Can you work with our existing content?

Yes. If you already have long-form content (podcasts, webinars, event footage, interviews), we offer clip-only packages that produce vertical cutdowns from your existing material. Same editing standard as our full-production work, without the filming cost.

Do you write scripts or just shoot?

Both. Most retainer clients work with loose talking points rather than full scripts, which reads more naturally on camera. For campaign work or talent-heavy shoots we write structured scripts. For ad creative we develop concepts and variants up front for A/B testing.

What's the turnaround on social content?

Standard turnaround is 7 working days from shoot. Retainer clients on ongoing schedules get weekly batched delivery. Rush turnarounds (24-48 hours for event content or time-sensitive campaigns) are quoted case by case.

Do you post the content too, or just deliver it?

We deliver ready-to-post clips with captions, hashtags suggested, and platform-specced exports. Most clients or their in-house social team handle the posting. If you want fully managed posting included, we can scope that in a retainer.

Do you work with talent that isn't comfortable on camera?

Yes, often. Part of the job is making people who aren't natural performers look relaxed and credible on camera. That's down to direction, framing, pacing, and editing. Many of our strongest founder-content clients started out saying they hated being on camera.
Background: studio ambience / mood shot

Let’s make content that actually gets watched.

20 minutes on a call is usually enough to scope the right engagement. Studio visits welcome.
