5 Things to Look For In A Boston Video Production Company
When you’re on the hunt for a professional video production company in the greater Boston area, it can be hard to know what to look for. A lot of the time, when people are searching for a video team, they’ve never hired one before, so they have no idea what to expect or what would benefit them the most. Whether you need an explainer video, new social media ads, an interview or product review, you need a video production partner that matches your level of professionalism and polish.
At Ascend Studiios, we bring world-class production to all of New England with reliable service, innovative and creative ideas, and a dynamic engaging finished product. You’ll find the video production company you’re looking for right in your own backyard.
1.Industry Experience
As someone who grew up in New England and only 45 minutes from Boston, I know the area extremely well. While this is important, it’s not everything, experience is more than just location. Be on the lookout for a company with a proven track record of partnering with clients, a team that can adapt to tell your story, not their own.
A video production company with experience will have a deep comprehension of budgets, timelines, organization and know ahead of time what goes into creating an exceptional video so you aren’t left with a surprisingly high bill or a video delivered late. You also want someone with experience in your field—a team that understands your specific line of work because they’ve worked with a similar organization in the past. When the video team has a grasp around what your industry is like, and what your company does within the industry, it brings the result of the final video to another level.
2.Professionalism
You should find a company that is committed to learning your processes and understanding your brand messaging. Working with a team that is dedicated to serving as a professional extension of your team will make things run so much smoother. Do they respond to you quickly, or are they slow to respond? Are they clear and transparent about pricing, or do they spend too much time negotiating? Do they set a hard finish date with a well-established timeline?
A video production company with a strong sense of professionalism will be upfront about all the details so you know exactly what to expect through the entire production process. They’ll invite you to be collaborative through the process, making sure that this is a true partnership. At the end of the day, our goal here at Ascend is to build a lasting, productive relationship with you to be your organization’s go-to for videos for years to come.
3.Aligned Values
When browsing through a company’s portfolio of work, ask yourself; do their videos and style align with our company culture and brand? Would the videos you are hoping to make “fit in” with the range of the rest of their work? Sometimes company culture and values simply don’t align, and that’s okay! But it helps to know upfront that your video production company shares the same values and ideas as your organization. Is the video production company on board with your ideas? If they aren’t willing to collaborate then it might not be the best fit.
4.Client Testimonials
Any company can make itself look great on paper or on their website, but you can learn a lot about a video production company’s processes and results by reading their client testimonials. You can also find out more about the kind of work a video team does by examining the highlighted bands that they’ve worked with in the past. Note that just because a big ticket business worked with a certain video production team, doesn’t automatically make them the best option. It’s only impressive when a company has worked with well-known clientele if those clients were thrilled with the final video.
