Xhulio was incredible to work with!

Branding Review from Eneida Puleri
Here at Whiteacre Properties we've worked with Rootless Agency for 6 months now and we're incredibly impressed with our event photographer, Xhulio Jamaku. His attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of our monthly networking events has surpassed our expectations. Every important moment is always beautifully documented, from candid shots to group photos, he never misses a beat!His professionalism and friendly demeanor makes everyone feel at ease, resulting in natural and relaxed photos that truly reflect the atmosphere of the event. The turnaround time for receiving the photos is also very quick, which is greatly appreciated.Overall, we couldn't be happier with the service provided. If you're looking for a talented and reliable photographer for your next event, we highly recommend Xhulio!

Black Ops Agency Reviews & Testimonials
dax johnson's Review Sourced from Google
Exceptional Team.This is our experience with Black Ops Agency, hopefully to those reading this will help and finding the right AV team for you.I recommend Black Ops Agency.Background: hosting an in-person austin event requiring microphones, speakers, and full recording with 4 angles.From the beginning of contact to the conclusion of the event, Wesley & Ramin were incredible. Their energy and attitude were attentive, patient, and intelligent.One of the most important parts I observed was the communication being CLEAR, and FAST.They were adjustable on everything, and affordable.*-------------------Additional details from our experience:Pros:-We did 1 full event with Black Ops, which included multiple services, however, definitely not all of them. That said - From this experience with them, I & the rest of our team observed no issues from Ramin or Wesley. I have no requests or feedback for them has they have dialed their business in for the services we needed. If anything, I received great feedback to optimize my part.-Highly adjustable-Great Communication-Clear and specific-Clean and professional, not to "Casual" nor stilted, preggish, or overly formal. Just good people who get it done!Cons:Only Con which is more of a reminder to all those looking for this service would be: Their energy type (attitude-personalities-etc) may not resonate with everyone. It did for us, and I know many people who would also resonate with them. - I wanted to add this as it's essential in any business, event, or other construction, having the right people, not just in their skills, but the way they work and process internally, is frequently overlooked.--------------------I am extremely happy with the results of Blacks Ops Agency for our event AV team.* Compared to similar teams in the areaThank you,Dax Johnson

I enjoyed working with Jacob today. He is a true professional. We had great communication throughout the whole project. He came prepared. No one has client needs and produced three wonderful testimonies for his client. I would love to work with him again in the future, if the opportunity becomes available. Best of luck on your continuous success.
Madison Farrell's Review Sourced from Google
I searched high and low and interviewed a multitude of video production companies to execute the vision I had for the video needed in my company. Jacob and his team were the BEST choice I could’ve made. They perfectly captured our brand and made a high caliber video that I am so proud of and am proud to share with our clients. They are very reasonably priced and worked with us with MUCH patience editing and making the many changes/edits we wanted within the video. If you get the chance to work with them, do it. Can’t recommend enough.

I've worked with Jacob since 2015 on a variety of projects, and I highly recommend The Customer Story. They always produce a finished product that exceeds my expectation. Jacob and his crews are incredibly easy to work with, whether you have a fully developed concept or if you're working from scratch. Whenever I hire them, they seamlessly become an extension of my marketing communications team. They are dependable, give great client service, affordable and produce really high quality work.

Hiring Guide: How to Choose the Right Video Production Company in the US
How do I choose the best video production company for my project?
Key factors to consider when choosing a company for a project in the United States include:
- Define clear goals: Know exactly what you want the video to achieve, whether that is brand awareness, product education, lead generation, or internal training. Clear objectives help agencies recommend the right format, length, messaging, and distribution approach, which reduces rework and improves results.
- Review portfolios: Assess overall video quality, storytelling, pacing, and production value. Look specifically for industry-relevant examples to ensure the agency understands complex offerings and long sales cycles.
- Check experience and expertise: Choose video production agencies with proven experience in your sector and with the specific video types you need, such as explainers, testimonials, or training content.
- Assess communication and collaboration: Strong communication ensures feedback is clearly understood and applied during each phase of production. Responsive agencies typically deliver smoother workflows, fewer revisions, and more predictable timelines.
- Budget transparency: Confirm costs for pre-production, production, and post-production. Transparent estimates help you compare vendors accurately and avoid unexpected expenses later.
- Ask for references: Client testimonials and references provide insight into reliability, professionalism, and delivery quality. Speaking with the video production company’s past clients can confirm whether the agency consistently meets expectations and deadlines.
What should I prepare before reaching out for project quotes?
Before contacting a video production company, prepare the following:
- Target audience and personas: Be specific about who the video is for, where it will be seen, and the problem it should address. B2B buyers often review 12 or more pieces of content before making a purchase, so messaging that speaks directly to their needs and pain points is critical.
- Budget range: Prepare a realistic budget range before reaching out to video production agencies. In the U.S., corporate video projects often cost $2,500 to $25,000 or more, depending on production complexity, animation, locations, and post-production needs.
- Timeline and deadlines: Share your desired launch date, campaign timing, or internal deadlines early in the conversation. Clear timelines allow agencies to plan resources effectively and avoid production bottlenecks.
- Reference examples: Collect examples of videos you like to communicate preferred style, pacing, tone, and level of polish.
- Brand assets and guidelines: Prepare logos, fonts, color palettes, messaging frameworks, and brand guidelines in advance.
What questions should businesses ask before hiring one of these companies?
Before hiring, businesses should ask targeted questions that clarify fit, process, and risk.
Relevant Background
- Have you worked with companies in our industry or with similar goals?
- Can you share recent client references from the US market?
Services and Processes
- What is your typical process from planning to delivery?
- How do you manage timelines and handle delays?
- How many revision rounds are included, and how is feedback handled?
Related to Your Project
- Who will be assigned to our project, and what are their roles?
- What is included in the quoted price, and what could cost extra?
How involved does my team need to be during the process?
Team involvement during video production is typically milestone-based rather than continuous:
- Pre-production requires the most input, including goal alignment and approvals.
- Production involvement is usually limited to interviews or on-site participation.
- Post-production focuses on reviewing edits and providing consolidated feedback.
Most B2B projects include 1 to 3 revision rounds.
Clear direction early in the process supports delivery within a typical 4 to 8 week timeline.
How do I measure whether a video production company delivered value?
To measure whether a company delivered value, evaluate performance against business goals rather than view counts alone.
Industry research shows that 74% of companies measure video ROI using engagement metrics, while 48% rely on conversion rates to assess success.
Key benchmarks include engagement and retention metrics such as average watch time, view-through rate, and completion rate.
You should also know that each platform counts views based on different criteria. For example, YouTube counts a view only if a user has spent at least 30 seconds watching a video.
On Instagram, a watcher should engage for at least 3 seconds, on Facebook just a second is enough, while LinkedIn needs 2 seconds. TikTok counts a video as watched if you’ve spent at least 1 second watching content that’s under 3 minutes long.
Conversion metrics like click-through rates, demo requests, and sign-ups indicate whether the video drove meaningful action.
Business outcomes should be measured by comparing lead quality, pipeline contribution, or revenue impact against total production cost.
Videos that can be reused across websites, paid ads, sales outreach, or internal training typically deliver higher long-term value.
