Social media; it’s the new, well, everything really. If you’re not on social media, you’re no one… granted, you may be a more well-rounded individual, but commercially speaking, you’re dead in the water. Social media can be the head, heart and soul of your business - it can do almost anything for your brand and it’s a link between you and your target audience.

We’re here to help you navigate the choppy waters of all the different platforms that are out there; Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, X (we preferred Twitter), YouTube, Vimeo… we could keep going. Whether it’s video or stills, every platform needs to be fed the right content, so it can perform efficiently and look it’s very best. Then beyond letting it grow organically, you might want to give it a little boost with a paid ad campaign, and we’re here to help with that too.

It’s all about keeping your feeds fresh. With that in mind, we’re always keen to maximise our time on set, to get as many variations as possible. Widescreen is dead, long live vertical video!

  • There are no rules for social ads. You can kind of do anything you want; but this can be both a blessing and a curse, because where do you even start. Fortunately, we can help with that.

  • At Belafonte, we’re all about trying to best understand the message (or messages) that our clients want to convey. It’s then about helping craft the most effective way to do this; whether it be through a succinct explainer video or with CGI and explosions in a blockbusting Super Bowl ad.

  • Grabbing your audiences attention isn’t easy - we live in a world where we’re all bombarded with content everywhere we turn. That’s why, to really make people take notice, your content needs to leap off the screen and sing at the top of it’s voice… and this is where we can help.

  • Well, there’s a number of different ways to create and promote content that’s going to work for your brand and speak to your audience - and we’re great at helping you identify what will work best for you. Listen, we can’t give you all of our secret sauce right here, right now. Get in touch and we can have a chat about it. We’ve got great biscuits.

  • When it comes to getting your video and stills ready for social media, you’re entering a minefield of rules and specifications. Fortunately, here at Belafonte, we deliver everything in the format you need for the platform(s) required. That means you can just kick back and let those views and clicks roll in.

pre

This isn’t just about booking equipment, crew and locations (although this is part of it), no, this is mostly where we get to know you, your brand and your product… and we want to know everything; your goals, your ideas, your hopes and dreams. Yes, and your budget.

production

Now it’s getting real! The script it locked, cameras are on set, the crew already want lunch and the directors are panicking… fortunately, you’ve hired Belafonte, so none of this is actually true. You’re just having a bad dream, the shoot is going great and they’ve even got your favourite coffee.

post

Phew! The shoot’s over, now it’s time to kick back and relax. For you, sure, but this is where the real magic happens and we turn all of those gigabytes of footage into something that’s beyond your wildest dreams. We will need a bit of input from you though, it’s your baby after all.
