Ever thought about a social-first video production subscription?
So, the social media beast is getting too hungry and you think you're in need of video production regularly! Well, have you ever thought about hiring a video production company on a monthly subscription to solve your problem? Well now you can & that's exactly how we prefer to work with our clients! So, what does our monthly retained package consist of;
Creative Strategy
Without a strategy, your social media marketing efforts are pretty pointless. Most ecommerce brands have a marketing strategy but never put much thought into their video strategy. If you haven't already, you need to map out your brands mission, vision & purpose. Alongside this you need to know your customer, what their social circles are and what their financial circumstance is. You also need to map our your customer personas. Only when all of this is complete you can create video ad ideas based off this strategy. You then need to plan out a roadmap of your video creative, ensuring you have video ads for each stage of the funnel. Make sure you stick to these. Lastly, the creative strategy is something which is done in collaboration with our clients, after all - you know your brand far better than we do & we know video production more than you, a collaborative effort is the way forward!
Video Production
From high production to user generated content and animation, all the creative tools should be at your disposal and part of your strategy. The second stage is production, in which Trendy Grandad covers by an amazing in house production team.
Testing, optimising & iterating
The last stage of our monthly subscription process is to test the creative, optimise it and iterate it based on what the ad platforms are telling us. For example, if your ad has a low click through rate then you need to include more call to actions. We will adjust your ad creative monthly.

It's all about getting you a higher subscriber number, more watch time and a bigger digital footprint.

At Trendy Grandad we have built an animations department to produce 2d & 3d integrated animations and stand alone animated videos. Basically, if you're looking for sick animators - we're your animation and editing team!
THUMBNAIL DESIGN
Don’t sleep on your thumbnails - they’re just as important as the video itself and our door to your video. At Trendy Grandad, our thumbnail design service is all about making your content stand out and get clicked on your audiences phone. Our in-house editors work hand-in-hand with our production company team to ensure your thumbnail matches the video’s style, tone, and target audience and creates the curiosity gap. Whether it’s bold text, punchy colours, or that perfect freeze-frame moment, we craft thumbnails that stop the phone scroll and boost your click-through rate. We know what works (and what doesn’t) on YouTube, and we use that insight to bring you designs that are as strategic as they are eye-catching.

Frequently asked questions
WHAT DOES A MONTHLY
RETAINER LOOK LIKE?
One of the fastest ways to grow on Youtube is to upload consistently and is crucial to your success. To achieve this you need an 'always on' content generation machine plugged into your brand channel. That's what our monthly retainers look like, a Youtube specialist extension of your team and not just lots of projects. Some say we're next level, but we'll let you decide!Our clients benefit from our specialist creative minds on a regular basis, have proven pre-built systems and have a consistent feed of videos being uploaded out on their socials & Youtube channels.

(Did buzz lightyear write this?)
HOW MUCH DOES A
VIDEO PROJECT COST?
Video can cost £500, it can cost £50,000. We are very transparent when it comes to cost & why this question is so difficult to answer is because there are so many factors to video and film production. The reality is, if you're looking to grow on Youtube, the average cost would be anywhere between £5,000 to £20,000 a month and this would need to be invested for a couple of years.If you're a premium brand, you will want a good looking set, high quality talent, vibey footage and a high quality production - this won't be a small amount of money. Our best advice is to find as many references as you can to put in your brief so the production company you choose has an idea of your expectations. Secondly, if you have a budget, share this with us, as it helps us in the ideation stage come up with an idea that fits in with your costs.
WILL TRENDY GRANDAD
FILM ANYWHERE?
Trendy Grandad have physical offices in London, Manchester & New York City. However, we have filmed in the field most corners of the world. We regularly film on location in the UK & America however have filmed for National Geographic in Switzerland and a online commercial in New Zealand - all part of our great video production service.So, yes, we travel and film in the field a lot!
Why do you specialise
IN YOUTUBE?
We create Youtube videos, not just videos. This has been video agencies mantra and vision from the start and the reason why most brands fail in the Youtube space. Because they treat Youtube as their video dumping ground or attack it like they would a meta strategy. Youtube is an entirely new planet and with that, it needs a seperate strategy, budget & approach.Over the years we've become experts in building & growing channels for brands that want to build a community and new revenue stream in the Youtube world.Arguably, we are the now considered one of London & New York's leading Youtube & Social first specialist video production companies.
