A NOTE ON OPTIMIZING BANG-FOR-BUCK
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.
This means planning for both social and long-form content from the beginning, avoiding sloppy cut-downs.
It eliminates common concessions that occur both for cinematography and content style.
Extra time and resources during prep pays dividends when you publish assets specifically designed to thrive on social platforms.
Often this means dedicated social cameras to capture vertical content, direct-to-camera moments to embrace an intimate feel and creating animations that live natively in 9:16.
SERIES
When possible, a series mindset can bring per video cost down.
Multiple subjects captured under a cohesive strategy dramatically expands the opportunities for distinct deliverables.
The ability to intercut between subjects allows us to expand beyond individual portraits into topical conversations across people, regions, and industries.
