Brand Storytelling & Commercial

Whether it appears on a smart phone, a laptop, or a television screen — the goal is to bring your company's offerings and mission to life through a full service, story driven process. It’s not just about sales — it’s about credibility and differentiation in an online, global space flooded with content.

(02) — The Process

Full Stack Production, Full Service.

A basic rundown of the process, and how it can be tailored to your goals.

Stage 01

Understanding the story behind the organization.

Every project begins with understanding the story behind the organization. This phase focuses on identifying goals, mission, audience, and the unique perspective that sets the organization apart. From there, creative concepts are developed, scripts are refined when needed, locations are selected, schedules are built, and the right collaborators are assembled. Thoughtful preparation creates the foundation for a film that connects with audiences on both an emotional and strategic level.

(03) — Services

The work, by intent.

Eight ways in — every clip filed under the thing it was made to do.

01

Commercials.

A spot has seconds to earn the next thirty. Built around one idea, told fast, cut to move someone from watching to buying.

02

Brand films & company stories.

The film that turns "what do you do?" into a story people remember and trust — real people, real work, told so a stranger becomes a customer.

03

Promos & brand spots.

Launches, facilities, teams: high-energy edits that make people feel the thing, then act on it.

04

Social & short-form content.

Made for the feed, built to be watched with the sound off: series and clips that turn scrollers into followers, and followers into buyers.

05

Event coverage & recaps.

One day on site becomes a year of marketing: a recap that sells next year's tickets, sponsors, and seats.

06

Community engagement.

Films for civic organisations, festivals, and institutions — stories that move people to show up, give, and join.

07

Trailers.

The first two minutes of something bigger, cut so an audience can't help but need the rest — and buys a ticket to get it.

08

Narrative entertainment.

Features and festival work: the storytelling side, where the same craft that sells a product learns to break a heart.

09

Something else entirely.

The odd ones are often the best ones. A music video, a love letter to a building, something nobody's made before.

What it's like working with Aris.

Aris and the team are fantastic producers of video content! From story board ideas to collaborating on voiceover scripts and editing sessions, and ultimately taking all ideas and making them even better on film! I have worked with Aris on 100% remote projects as well as in the field on a live filming session for a patient testimonial/min-documentary film. His attention to detail and consistent follow up to make sure the end product is exactly what we needed is second to none. I look forward to more projects with him in the future and would recommend him in a heart beat to anyone looking to do video / film work.

Aris has produced marketing videos this year for DisruptHR Memphis, along with capturing our event last year and will again this year. He has done an amazing job with the speaker videos from last year, and the marketing videos this year. We have no doubt that the speaker videos will be just as amazing. HIGHLY recommend.
