Media Day

$1,500

One directed day of photo and video that fills your site, your Google profile and your social for months. Planned against a brief built from what you sell, so every photo and clip matches and has a place to run

  1. We do beautiful work and show it with phone photos
  2. We hired a photographer once. Nothing matched
  3. We have one good photo and we use it everywhere

One good day beats a year of phone photos

Most businesses show beautiful work with whatever photo someone took that afternoon. The photos don’t match, the videos look like they came from a different company, and the good shot can never be found when the post is due.

A Media Day fixes that at the source. The brief comes first, built from what you sell and where every piece will run, delivered within 5 business days of your intake. Then one production day at your place within 3 weeks, directed by us and shot by a local photographer and videographer from our network. You don't hire or manage anyone. Within 10 business days you have at least 50 edited photos and 4 short clips, edited to one look, that all read as the same business.

What it fixes

  • The room looked incredible and we have three phone pics. A directed day on the finished space, with the shot list written before anyone shows up.
  • The photos on our site are five years old. A fresh set, sized for your site, your Google profile and your social.
  • Our videos look nothing like our photos. Photo and video shot the same day against one brief, edited to one look.
  • I don’t have time to manage a photographer. You answer one intake. We write the brief, book the creative and check the work.
  • I can never find the good shot later. Delivered as a tagged library, sized for your site, your Google profile and your social.

What you get

  • The brief first, to approve within 5 business days of your intake: shot list, setups, locations, people, and where every piece will run
  • A full production day at your place within 3 weeks, planned shot by shot from the brief
  • Directed by us, shot by a local photographer and videographer from our network. You don't hire or manage anyone
  • At least 50 edited photos and 4 short clips, widescreen and vertical, edited to one look
  • The style agreed up front: Capture (lots of real work in progress) or Styled (fewer scenes, set and curated)
  • A tagged library within 10 business days of the shoot, sized for each place it runs: your site, your Google profile and social
  • Releases signed on the day for everyone on camera, so you can use every frame
Why a planned day
A single on-site session gets you one kind of footage in an hour or two. A Media Day plans the whole day around what you sell, with photo and video both
Not in it
High-end studio production, actors, studio or location rental, drone unless it is in the brief, posting, ad versions, unlimited revisions, raw footage unless it is in the brief
How it starts
Pay the first half by link, then a short intake: what to show, who's on camera, which rooms or sites, and where the photos will run
Guarantee
If the delivered set misses the agreed brief, we reshoot it.

What happens after you buy.

Have these handy

  • Twenty minutes for the intake
  • The spaces, people and work you want shown, ready on the day
  • Where the photos and video will run
  • Someone on site who can make decisions
  1. Intake and brief

    Pay the first half by link, then answer one short intake. We write the brief: shot list, setups, locations, people and where every piece will run. It reaches you within 5 business days.

  2. The creative

    We book a photographer and videographer from our local network and hand them the brief. You agree the style up front: Capture, lots of real work in progress, or Styled, fewer scenes, set and curated.

  3. The day, within 3 weeks

    A full day at your place, at one price, on a date we confirm together. We check in at the start and the end, and releases are signed on the day for everyone on camera.

  4. Edit and check

    At least 50 photos and 4 short clips, widescreen and vertical, edited to one look and checked against the shot list before you see them.

  5. Delivery in 10 business days

    A tagged library within 10 business days of the shoot, in the sizes each place needs. The second half is due when it's done. If the set misses the agreed brief, we reshoot it.

Questions owners ask.

What’s the difference between a Media Day and an on-site shoot?

An on-site shoot is one kind of footage in an hour or two. A Media Day is planned around what you sell, with photo and video both, and runs a full day, at one price.

Who actually shoots it?

A local photographer and videographer from our network, working to a brief we write and direct. You deal with us; we check every image against the shot list before it reaches you.

What if the photos miss what we agreed?

Then we reshoot what missed. The brief is the yardstick, which is why it’s written and approved before the day.
