5 Tips for Hiring a Full Service Production Agency that’s Right for You

Hiring a full service production agency is a task that many businesses face, especially in the beginning of the year as they look to expand marketing and growth efforts. Choosing the right full service production agency that’s ideal for your business can require some careful planning and research into the various options that are available locally to serve you. Before you make a decision, make sure that you’re thinking about your own internal needs as well as the individual professional skills of each of the various production crews in your area before you hire.

1. Consider Your Own Needs

Just because a full service production agency claims to provide “it all” doesn’t mean they specialize in everything! Each agency will have core specialties or strengths.

It’s important for you to determine what strengths are most important for your brand before you make a decision on the agency that’s most suitable for your needs. 

For example, are you creating a corporate branded video that will showcase your internal operations? Or were you thinking of creating a social media awareness video that drives conversions for your brand?

Each of these has a unique style, just as animations, interviews, testimonials, and even individual training videos will all have their own unique twist too. Knowing what you want is key to choosing a production agency that’s got the skills to serve your brand.

2. Check Local Search 

Working with a local full service production agency will help you to narrow down any risk of trouble when it comes to communication or distance. Check locally with Google, Yelp! or social media to search for video production agencies that specialize in the type of content you’re looking to produce.

Many full service production agencies like Beverly Boy Productions will have offices and production camera crews readily available in most major cities throughout the country as well as worldwide to serve you.

3. Review Portfolio & Demo Reel

Before you decide on hiring a full service production agency, you’ve got to know what they are capable of. Check the portfolio of each of the agencies on you list to determine whether they are capable of producing the style of content that you’re most interested in for your brand.

Keep in mind that the demo reel is not an all encompassing feature of what you can expect. You might not see the type of content you want in the reel so it’s always good to check the portfolio too.

4. Ask Questions

Make sure you are prepared to ask a lot of questions before you decide on who you want to hire. Asking the full service production agency questions about their own skills, team, and production timelines will help you to nail down whether or not they are suitable for your project.

It’s no use hiring an agency that has very little time available to serve you if you have to complete a project in the next couple of weeks. Make sure that you ask appropriate questions to help you hammer out what is going to be best for your business.

5. Request Multiple Quotes

Hiring a full service production agency is a lot like purchasing insurance, there are going to be a wide range of potential costs involved and each provider will vary greatly.

Requesting quotes from multiple agencies will help you to narrow down the most suitable price, value, and configuration that will work for your business. Just make sure that you don’t choose solely based on price. The decision should be based on all of your research.
