The Basis of Choosing a Video Production Company

Shane Yeager


"Is your brand looking into video marketing?" Great. It should be. 

The task at hand is now to figure out how to decide what production company to entrust with creating quality content.

Here's how to find the right fit:

Review their work

Production companies showcase their work on various platforms. Whether it be YouTube, Vimeo, or even just their website, be sure to investigate.

  • Is there content relevant and unique?
  • Does it look professional?
  • Do they have experience shooting videos for various markets?
  • Do you like their work?
Not every production team is suited for working with every brand. Find a company that you think will mesh well with yours.

Talk to previous clients

Examine their portfolio and reach out to previous clients. You can even ask the production company to give you the contact information of previous or current clients. Ask questions to capture people's satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the process. Check out Indeed, Glassdoor, Yelp, and FaceBook reviews. If the company produces poor content you are sure to find out by doing some digging.

Measure their willingness to meet your specific needs

Organize a pitch meeting


Before budgets are finalized and dates and times are set, hear out the team's idea for your video. Does it meet your needs? How flexible are they to manipulate the vision they've created to meet your standards? As a production company, we should be enhancing your vision and not just planning their own. They should bring creativity to the table and, maybe even challenge your concept for a better one. However, don't forget that you are the client and your needs must still be met.

The Bang for Your Buck

Price definitely matters. The important question is whether you are getting what you paid for. Evaluate if the company is more concerned about quantity or quality. In today’s society, it is only quality that is significant. Digital Creative Visionaries is a company that assures you of quality work because we are passionate about what we do.

Work with people you can work with again

Find a company made up of good people and that deliver a good product. Once found, your search is over and the good news is you won't have to look for a new production agency again. You can come back to them whenever you need a spruce up for your content.
