national video production campaign

creative

    challenge.


The United States Coast Guard has a much smaller recruitment budget than the US Army and  US Navy; this meant our advertising and content creation efforts needed to be targeted and nimble


Our teams helped attract more qualified recruits in strategic locations around the US while showcasing the unique career options the US Coast Guard offers.


DCV aligned with creative agencies LMD & LMO producing various video campaigns.

the ask 

The USCG has varying requests on diverse budget scales


Working directly with their communications team and LMD, Digital Creative Visionaries was able to always provide a solution, integrating as the go-to, out of house option for creative.


We managed travel, scheduling, video production crew, post-production, and media back-ups.


how we did it

We helped everyone understand where, when & how much budget should be applied to create the right video content for each request.


This "intelligent" budgeting helped the USCG stretch production dollars while maximizing quality.


The DCV team traveled all over the country to capture the best stories on land, air, and sea. 


We used RED Cinema cameras for the character driven stories, and switched to Sony FS7's and drones when the end product required long hours in a helicopter or on the back of a patrol boat.

Collaborating with DC Visionaries has been an awesome experience. This group came through last minute, not only capturing the shots I had asked for, but creatively shooting things I had not even thought of. Their attention to detail and focus on quality is obviously something they care about, I'm blown away. Looking forward to working with these folks again.

They are exceptional visual storytellers. They make it all seem simple and skilled above and beyond other marketers I've worked with. Every product is high-quality and creative (even the normally-boring stuff)! They delivers exceptional customer service to me and all of our partners

DCV delivered the best Kickstarter campaign video we could've ever asked for. Their energy, creative direction and talent helped formulate an image for our company in its early stages that was crucial in the success of our campaign. The results of our hard work combined with their documentation resulted in $3.4mil raised that month.
