Planning your production

What retail and consumer brands should plan for

Product launches, pop-ups, brand activations and creator events now feed every channel at once. One shoot has to produce assets for the website, social feeds, retail partners and paid media.

Shoot for every format. Plan vertical and horizontal versions from the start so social cuts are not cropped from a wide shot as an afterthought.
Product on camera. Lighting and color that show the product as it looks in real life, with time set aside for detail shots.
Live launches. Live-streamed reveals and shoppable streams need a run of show, presenter rehearsal and a reliable connection.
Locations and permits. Activations in public spaces need permits, insurance and a plan for crowds and weather.

Share your launch plan and channel list, and we will map the shoot so every asset you need comes out of the same production day.

Our process

How We Produce Retail and Consumer Brands Events in 6 Steps

A workflow that plans every asset up front, so one shoot day produces content for every channel.

Launch and Channel Brief

We learn the product, the launch date and every channel the content has to feed, from the website to paid social.

Shot List by Format

Vertical and horizontal versions planned shot by shot, with time set aside for product detail and lifestyle scenes.

Permits and Location Check

Permits, insurance and a crowd and weather plan for pop-ups and activations in public spaces.

Shoot and Live Reveal

True-to-life product lighting and color, plus live-streamed reveals with a rehearsed presenter and run of show.

Social-First Edits

Short vertical cuts edited first, so your social team can post while the launch is still trending.

Asset Pack Delivery

Every cut delivered in the sizes and lengths your website, retail partners and ad platforms require.
