How to Make Sure You're Hiring an Effective Video Production Company

Spin Creative • December 17, 2018

So you’ve made the big decision to get started with a video marketing campaign. This is a huge step for your overall marketing!

But before you can begin production, you need to be able to make sure that you’re working with a team of professionals that are capable of helping you to meet your goals. Here are some ways to ensure that you’re hiring a great video marketing team:


· Don’t get sold only by a demo reel. Most companies are going to have a pretty solid demo reel that they’ll show you, but don’t let that alone sway you. First, realize that a demo reel is the highest of highlights and might not necessarily be representative of all of their work. Second, realize that your ability to work alongside the team is just as important as the quality of work they provide. A demo reel is nice to watch, but it’s only a small part of the story.

· View recent projects. Viewing whole projects, particularly ones done recently, is definitely a better way of getting an accurate view of what a company’s work will be like. You want to be sure that their best work is not long behind the company, and that you’ll still be getting a high quality project.

· Don’t feel like you have to commit right away. Do your due diligence and ask for quotes with a few different organizations if you feel like you want to get a sense for what the going rate for your project would be. Companies understand that this is all a part of your decision making process. You should never feel rushed or pressured by any of the organizations you’re courting.

· Check out reviews. See if you can find clients of the organization and get their opinions about the video production team. It’s always a good idea to hear directly from actual clients about their experiences with the company.
