Content retainers

One shoot day a month. A feed that never goes quiet.

Every tier includes the shoot, the edit, the hooks, the captions, and the posting calendar. The difference is volume: how many times your customers see you every week.

How your quote gets built.

No flat price, because no two shoot days are alike. Every audit prices the same five things.

Shoot time

A half day moves faster than a full day, and one location is simpler than three.

Volume

8, 16, or 30 finished videos. Editing is where most of the month goes, and it scales with the count.

The shoot itself

A quiet shop at open is a different day than a packed Friday night service with a full crew.

Distance

Central Illinois is home base, and I shoot anywhere in the continental United States. Travel and accommodations are covered by the client and quoted in the audit.

Add-ons

Posting and social management, the ad creative pack, drone footage, an extra shoot day. Only if you want them.

Example: one family restaurant, Growth tier

  • Full shoot day: kitchen, dining room, Friday service
  • 16 finished verticals with hooks, captions, and a posting calendar
  • Monthly performance review
  • No add-ons

Quoted at $2,400/mo. The same tier for a single-chair shop with a half-day shoot comes in lower. A two-location spot that adds posting and social management comes in higher.

Your audit prices your shoot, not someone else's.

What a month actually looks like.

Two examples from the Growth tier: 16 videos from one shoot day.

A local restaurant, month one

  • 4 signature dish builds, shot like they deserve
  • 2 behind the scenes: prep, the kitchen at full speed
  • 2 staff picks and regular favorites
  • 2 customer reactions, real ones
  • 2 trend-jacks: the dish done the internet's way this week
  • 2 promos: weekend special, catering and events
  • 2 evergreen: the story, the room, why this place

A band rolling out a single, month one

  • 4 performance clips: the single, shot live and tight
  • 3 rehearsal and studio moments, raw and real
  • 2 lyric visualizers cut for vertical
  • 2 behind the scenes: the writing, the recording
  • 2 show announcements with real urgency
  • 2 trend-jacks: the song in the format that's working now
  • 1 fan reaction and comment response

Every month is planned around your calendar: releases, seasons, events, slow weeks. The audit maps your first 30 days before you commit.

Add-ons, when you need more.

Retainers cover the monthly engine. These bolt on for campaigns, launches, and pushes.

Extra shoot day

Seasonal push, new location, big event. A second full production day in the same month, edited into your calendar.

Ad creative pack

Four paid-social variants cut from your real shoot footage and finished fast with AI-assisted editing. Built for Meta and TikTok ads, with hook testing baked in. Real footage first, AI for speed, never synthetic stand-ins.

We post for you

Hand over the keys. We schedule everything to your channels on the calendar, with captions and hashtags, and handle the day-to-day management of your accounts, so posting takes zero minutes of your month.

Drone footage

The view from above: your building, your lot, the line out the door. Aerial footage shot on shoot day and cut into your monthly videos, or delivered as its own set of clips. Strong for venues, real estate, dealerships, resorts, and anywhere the place itself is part of the pitch.

From audit to first post in about three weeks.

Week 1

Free audit

We review your channels and competitors, then deliver your 30-day content plan. You decide with the full picture.

Week 2

Kickoff and shoot

One planning call, then shoot day. We direct, you do your thing. Most shoots wrap in a single day.

Week 3

Edit and review

First batch lands within days of the shoot. You review once, we revise, then the calendar goes live.

Ongoing

Repeat and sharpen

Every month: shoot, edit, post, review the numbers, adjust. The content gets better because the data tells us what to make more of.

Every question worth asking.

How much does it cost?

Quoted after your free audit. A restaurant shoot and a roofing company shoot are different days, so flat pricing would be dishonest. What I can tell you: every tier costs less than a part-time hire, and produces more than one. The audit is free, and the quote comes with the full 30-day plan attached.

Are there contracts or minimums?

There is a simple month-to-month agreement covering your shoot day, deliverables, and ownership. No annual contract, no setup fee, no cancellation penalty, no minimum term. Leave anytime, keeping every clip and cut we ever delivered.

Do you travel?

Yes. I shoot anywhere in the continental United States, with travel and accommodations covered by the client. It gets quoted in the audit, so there are no surprises.

What if I hate the first batch?

Then we fix it before you pay for month two. The revision round is built into the process, and the monthly review exists so the content keeps moving toward what works for your audience. If it is not working, you walk with your footage library.

Do you post to our accounts, or do we?

Your choice. Most clients post from the calendar we deliver, which takes minutes. If you want zero involvement, the posting add-on covers scheduling, captions, and hashtags on all three platforms.

What industries does this work for?

Any business whose work looks good on camera and whose customers scroll: food and drink, retail, trades, salons and barbershops, gyms, venues, bands and artists, automotive, professional services with a visual side. If the audit says you are not a fit, we will tell you that instead of selling you.

We're a band, not a shop. Does this work?

Yes, and the calendar works around releases instead of seasons. A retainer timed to your single, EP, or tour: performance clips, rehearsal and studio footage, lyric visualizers, show announcements, and cutdowns of your music videos recut for vertical. Your listeners are on the same apps your customers are.

Can we use the videos for ads?

Yes. You own everything, including the right to run it as paid creative. The Dominant tier includes ad variants each month; lower tiers can add the ad creative pack.

What do you need from us each month?

About three hours: one planning call, the shoot day itself, and one review pass. We handle concepting, filming, editing, captions, and the calendar.

The free content audit looks at your channels, your competitors, and what your customers actually watch. Then we show you exactly what we would film, cut, and post in your first 30 days. No pitch deck. No obligation.
