How social media video usually gets made

How social media video usually gets made

There are four common ways to get video for your business's social channels. They differ most in what they cost you in time, and in whose face ends up on screen.

In their own words

In their own words

Real businesses, real answers.

Every video starts as an answer to a question your customers already ask. Here are three, from three different businesses, each cut from a single video chat.

Why a conversation beats a script

Why a conversation beats a script

You already explain what you do, every day, to every customer. The way you answer "how long will this take?" or "is this normal?" is the best video you'll ever make. It just never gets recorded.

A script turns that into a performance. A video chat keeps it a conversation. The Brand Therapist asks the questions, keeps you talking and listens for the moments that land. Then we cut those moments into short videos you can post anywhere.

Quick questions?

Quick questions?

We make finished social media videos, so yes, in the way that matters. We skip the crew, the set and the shoot day. Everything happens over one video chat.

No. The Brand Therapist carries the conversation. You talk about what you already know.

No. A laptop or phone with a camera, a quiet room and decent light is enough.

There isn't one. We research your business and write the questions. You answer them in your own words.

Within 3 business days of your video chat.

No. We hand over finished videos. You post them wherever you want.
