When it comes to producing high-quality video content, businesses and creators often face a crucial decision: should they hire a video production agency or work with a freelance video professional? Both options have their benefits and drawbacks, and the right choice depends on your unique project, budget, and goals.

To make it easier for you, we’re breaking down the pros and cons of each, so you can figure out what works best for you.

What is a Video Production Agency?

A video production agency is a company that specialises in creating video content for brands, businesses, and individuals. These agencies typically have a team of professionals, including directors, videographers, editors, and motion graphic designers. They offer a full-service approach, managing everything from storyboarding and scripting to filming and post-production.
