Choosing the Right Jacksonville Media Production Companies

Whether you’re a newcomer to Jacksonville, a new business owner, or an experienced professional that knows the importance of adding video to your marketing arsenal, there comes a point where you find yourself in need of the professional services of Jacksonville media production companies. Choosing the right production companies to work with can be a challenging task, especially if you’re new to the area or new to the industry. 

Where do you start? Beyond simply going to Google to search for “Jacksonville media production companies,” and searching endlessly through the list of results, what options do you really have?

And, if Google is your only real option, how can you be sure that you’ve made the right decision for your project?

Beverly Boy Productions provides full-service video production throughout Jacksonville for corporate clients and those seeking a wide-range of media production services.

To help you choose the most appropriate production crew for your marketing or internal efforts, we’ve put together this list of helpful tips.

1. Review Past Work

If you’re looking to hire a production company then you’ve probably already got a pretty decent idea of what you want to accomplish in terms of producing video for your own business.

Whether it’s a corporate training video, a couple of customer testimonials, or an event ad that will draw traffic and engagement for your upcoming conference, knowing what you want to accomplish with video is important!

It helps you to know what kind of production company you should be looking for and provides a gauge as to what you should be examining in their past projects.

Reviewing the recently past work of the various Jacksonville media production companies that you’ve got on your list is your first step in sorting through the competitive noise to determine who to hire for the job.

Many companies will have strong skills in a particular style or technique while others will show strong skills in various other styles. Your job is to find the local companies that are most likely to deliver the style and type of content that you want.

2. Seek Past Client Testimonials

Not only should you seek the testimony of past clients, but also consider getting insight from other area businesses or locals that you may know.

If you’ve been in Jacksonville for quite some time, it can’t hurt to ask other business owners that you know who they use for their filmmaking needs.

These local references or testimonials are a great starting point for finding and choosing Jacksonville media production companies that may be suitable to your needs.

Ask past clients whether they enjoyed working with the production company, and if not — why? It’s important to get insight into the past clients and what they enjoyed most about working with the production company.

This will give you some insight into whether or not you can expect professionalism and satisfaction from a project with the same crew. Just keep in mind that a disgruntled past client may be the result of more than just a job poorly done and certainly warrants further inspection.

3. Gauge Individual Interest in Your Project

If you’ve got a couple of Jacksonville media production companies that you’re most interested in for your project, it’s time to narrow down whether or not they’re the most suited fit for you.

A conversation with each production company will provide some needed insight into whether or not they are at least interested in your project. Gauge the individual interest in the project by actively discussing your project needs with the prospective media production crew. 

Do they appear interested? Are they asking questions about your project? Are they offering ideas? Do they appear to have interest in discussing the details of your project further before providing a quote? 

While budget and price are important, Jacksonville media production companies that make prospective clients feel rushed or as if their project is not as important as the next client’s are certainly not the ideal option for your working relationship.

You can tell how invested a particular production company may later be in your project by gauging their interest in asking questions and navigating the early communication process.

4. Compare Price & Quality

While we certainly do not recommend that price is the final deciding factor in whom you choose to hire for your film project, it’s understandable that some consideration must be based on budget.

Unfortunately, price isn’t everything and doesn’t always equate to professional quality. This is why it’s so important for you to have already checked the various expertise and experience of each of the Jacksonville media production companies on our list.

In your final comparison and decision making effort, you should be thinking about the price that each production company will charge and how it relates to their experience.

At the end of the day, when your project is complete, choosing the right Jacksonville media production companies is about more than just the price – the quality of the video content that you receive is what will rise above everything else!
