We are results driven.
Video marketing is becoming more and more in demand for businesses but it often lacks a decisive idea of what the intended end result looks like. How is this video going to make you stand out? How is it going to bring you sales? And more importantly how this will increase your profit!
We prioritise questions like this from day one of working with you to ensure you get video content that not only looks good, but actually does the numbers.
Here’s how we do it
Function
Our first step in the process is to understand exactly what you’re looking for with video content. What’s its purpose? From there we can work backward and figure out exactly how video can be optimised to its best to achieve that function. Whether you’re looking to kick your social media marketing into life, generate new business or explain your product we’ve got the experience and know-how to suggest the best content.
Results
Next step is working out what success looks like to you. How much engagement do you want from your video content? And how can we monitor this to ensure it’s performing the way you want it to? We work out a clear and simple process with you and your team to understand what results you want and how we can track this along the way.
Production
With the foundations in place it’s time to organise your shoot, plan the logistics and get recording. We use all of this information to inform how we shoot your videos, how they’ll be edited, and how we’re going to grab your audience’s attention. Then the magic happens, we’ll cut all of the footage together to deliver you strong engaging content that’ll disrupt your industry.
Platform
We then have to work out based on your function what platform would be best for your video content. Will it get the best outcome through posting on LinkedIn? An engaging email marketing campaign? Or through targeted Instagram adverts? We work out which platform will land you the best chance for success.
Audience
The final piece in the puzzle is knowing your target market. Where are they browsing? What type of content catches their eye the best? We’ll use our experience and constant market research to provide a solid plan of action so you know exactly how to get to your audience effectively.
And these are the people that help you get there
Our History
Video marketing is becoming more and more in demand for businesses but it often lacks a decisive idea of what the intended end result looks like. How is this video going to make you stand out? How is it going to bring you sales? And more importantly how this will increase your profit!
Produced our first short film, 2017
The start of our filmmaking bug came from the creation of our first short film, ‘Ascending Descent’. A horror film we shot over 5 days during the night time (8pm to 5am!) in the middle of July!
Set up Open House Pictures, 2018
The following year we decided to make our passion into an actual business and so Open House Pictures was born! With our new video production agency came the opportunity to create a real impact for businesses by producing content that felt dynamic and unique.
Hallam and Santander Award Finalists, 2019
After running our agency for just under a year we were nominated as finalists at the Sheffield Hallam and Santanders Enterprise Awards. A huge achievement for us both and a really exciting start to our business.
Won Best Marketing Campaign, 2020
We were over the moon to win the Best Marketing Campaign at the Sheffield Business Awards 2020 for our Christmas campaign. Despite a challenging and difficult decision to run this campaign through lockdown we knuckled down and put the work in!
Where are we now…
Since we launched our video production agency in 2018 we’ve had the pleasure of working with a variety of different clients from The Cabinet Office, The University of Sheffield, Volvo, Blundells, the Sheffield City Council and more. We continue to grow and can’t wait to see what projects are next!
