Business content · Charleston, SC
Content your business can actually keep up with.
One brand film a year gets watched for a fortnight. A steady stream of short-form keeps you in front of people all year — that is what the retainer is for.
The problem with the one-big-video approach
Most businesses commission a single polished film, put it on the homepage, and never make another. It looks good and then it ages, and nothing new goes out for a year.
What works is volume with a consistent look: a handful of short pieces every month, cut for the way people watch — vertical, sound off, the hook in the first three seconds.
How a retainer works
A set number of videos and photographs every month, one or two shoot days, and a call to plan what we are shooting. You know what you are getting and what it costs; we know when we are turning up.
Retainers start at $1,200 a month. What sits inside that depends on how much you need and how often we shoot — a renovation crew on site every week is a different job from a shop that needs a good month of stills.
Or a one-off, if that is what you need
Not everything is a retainer. A new location, a piece of equipment worth showing off, a brand film for the homepage, headshots for a growing team — we shoot those on their own.

Questions we get asked
What does a monthly retainer cost?
They start at $1,200 a month. The number moves with how many pieces you need and how often we shoot — tell us what you are trying to do and we will put a shape on it.
How fast do we get content back?
Short-form and photographs inside 72 hours of the shoot. That is the point of the retainer: it is no use having a video about something that happened last month.
Do we have to sign up for a retainer?
No. Plenty of what we shoot is one-off — a brand film, a new location, headshots. The retainer exists because posting once is not a strategy, not because we will not do single jobs.
What kind of businesses do you work with?
Charleston ones, mostly trades and services — renovation and remodeling, truck and auto repair, marine and yacht management, event styling. If you do work that looks like something, there is a video in it.
