The Power of Creative Producibility for Agencies
“Creative ideas are not worth the post-it note they’re written on”, is a bold statement to make, especially by a business that thrives on creativity. The qualifier to this headline is much more palatable:
“Creative ideas are not worth the post-it note they’re written on - if they cannot be produced.”
That’s the clincher. Ideas are only colourful thoughts if no one gets to see them on screen. The task of every marketer is to assemble a team of experts, talented in their respective crafts, to make such brilliant ideas a reality.
Sometimes, to succeed in this venture we must look at collaborations, special partnerships, and build a team of allies all hellbent on producing something that is simply not achievable individually.
Overcoming Production Hurdles
Despite the clear benefits, many agencies face barriers when it comes to video production. Common challenges include lack of time, unclear ROI, and uncertainty about where to start. This is where the power of partnerships and specialised expertise comes into play. By collaborating with dedicated video production teams or developing in-house capabilities, agencies can transform creative visions into engaging visual stories that captivate target audiences.
Bringing Ideas to Life
Effective video content goes beyond listing features or benefits. It's about crafting narratives that resonate with the target audience and showcase how products or services enhance their lives. Agencies must focus on storytelling that connects emotionally with viewers, moving beyond surface-level messaging to create meaningful impact while taking into consideration the realistic aspects of carrying out the production within a limited budget.
From Concept to Impact
In the competitive landscape of marketing, the journey from a creative concept to an impactful video is critical. By leveraging specialised expertise and adopting a producibility mindset, agencies can ensure that brilliant ideas don't just remain concepts, but are transformed into compelling video content that drives real business outcomes for clients.
As the demand for video content continues to grow, with 91% of businesses now using video as a marketing tool, agencies must position themselves at the forefront of this trend.
It's not just about having great ideas – it's about having the means to produce them effectively, efficiently, and in a way that resonates with target audiences.
Maximising ROI Through Strategic Production
To truly excel in video production, agencies should consider adopting a systematic approach like the Producibility Viewfinder. This method allows for mapping marketing goals against benchmarks to focus efforts where results are made. By categorising content strategically and creating bespoke templates that express brand consistency, agencies can create scale efficiencies and deliver more value for their clients' budgets.
