Discovery to Delivery: Our End-to-End Creative Process
Discovery & Consultation
01
Every project starts with a strategy session to learn about your brand, goals, and audience. Whether you need video, photography, or a strong social media presence, we tailor our approach to deliver results that matter.
02
Proposal & Onboarding
After understanding your vision, we create a custom proposal outlining deliverables, timelines, and pricing. Once approved, we finalize the agreement and onboard your team to ensure a smooth workflow from day one.
03
Kickoff Meeting
We bring everyone to the table—your stakeholders and our creative leads. In this meeting, we align on goals, creative direction, platform needs (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, etc.), and how each service (video, photo, social) fits into the bigger picture.
04
Creative Development
This is where the ideas start flowing. We develop scripts, shot lists, storyboards, and visual references for video and photography. For social media, we build content calendars and campaign themes that are on-brand and platform-optimized.
05
Pre-Production
We handle all the logistics: location scouting, talent sourcing, scheduling, permits, props, and gear. For social campaigns, this may include influencer coordination, brand asset collection, and scheduling tools setup.
06
Production
Whether we're filming a brand story, snapping product shots, or capturing behind-the-scenes reels, our team executes with precision. We use top-tier equipment and experienced crews to bring your content to life.
07
Post-Production & Content Assembly
Our editors cut, color, animate, and polish every frame of video and photo. Meanwhile, our social team packages the content for each platform—cropping, captioning, optimizing formats, and building carousels or story sets.
08
Review & Revisions
You get access to all assets via collaborative tools, making it easy to provide feedback. We typically include three rounds of revisions to fine-tune the visuals, messaging, and platform-fit.
09
Delivery & Launch Support
Once approved, we deliver everything in the right formats—ready for upload or scheduling. Need help with rollout? We offer support with publishing, ad setup, captions, hashtags, and analytics tracking.
