A NOTE ON OPTIMIZATION

Some ways to think about approaches to any campaign

DUAL-FORMAT

When multiple formats are on the table, we always advocate for a HYBRID PRODUCTION approach.

  • Plan for both social and long-form content from the beginning.

  • Assets specifically designed to thrive on social platforms outperform sloppy cutdowns.

  • Dedicated vertical content capture & direct-to-camera moments embrace an intimate feel that is at home on social channels.

SERIES

  • A series mindset brings per video cost down.

  • Multiple subjects captured under a cohesive strategy dramatically expands the opportunities for distinct deliverables: individual portraits and topical conversations across people, regions, and industries.
