Why You Need Production Management Help

Hiring a Video Production Company Makes Life Easier

How does one scale content production while still maintaining quality and minimizing costs? 


Video production can be difficult to navigate. It can especially be complex if it's your first time dipping your toes in the production management world. 


So, what exactly does production management entail?

1. Developing a strategy

"Strategy is key." 


The very first step of your production process is to piece together a production strategy. 

This will dictate whether you hire freelancers or a video production company to take the lead on your content creation. 


Once you have the right people to work with, the brainstorming begins.

2. Scalability

The point of video production is to create content that will aid your business by reaching more consumers and enticing your existing customers

Being able to distribute your content is extremely important. 


The more eyes on your video, the more your business grows. However, inducing people to watch your video is growing increasingly difficult. 


Learning how to market your video on the right platforms and to the right people is a difficult task.

3. Budget constraints

Every production is confined by its budget. 


You can't have a Hollywood-style video if you don't have a million dollar budget. That doesn't mean you can't create quality, creative video with a lesser budget, but video is expensive. 


Part of production management is managing finances. 


How much does an editor cost for sifting through a day's worth of footage? 


How much does the gear itself cost? 


Video equipment is costly. 


The perks of hiring a video production company are that they do all the hard work for you. They give you an estimate day one and overhire actors, editors, and cameramen. Their job is to give you a satisfying final product.

4. Creating a Vision

The content your business is creating should have a throughline. There should be a common theme, message, or aesthetic that ties your marketing together. This also helps to establish branding. 


What do people think when they see a black and white swoosh and footage of someone being active? Why Nike of course. 


Your videos need to have a logo or type of narrative that makes your company's content easily identifiable. But, creating a video campaign may be harder than you think. You must brainstorm something that will allow for creating videos within your budget, that are interesting, and that are watchable.
