I had the pleasure of working with Think Branded Media during a three-day filming project that highlighted a day in the life of my profession, and I could not have been more impressed with the experience.From start to finish, the entire team was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. They took the time to understand my role, asked thoughtful questions, and captured the story in a way that felt authentic and engaging. Throughout the process, they were patient, kind, and adaptable, making what could have been a stressful experience feel comfortable and enjoyable.Beyond their technical expertise, they brought great energy to the project. Their sense of humor and positive attitude made the long filming days fly by, and it truly felt like working alongside friends rather than a production crew.I would highly recommend Think Branded Media to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and personable team. They exceeded my expectations, and I am grateful for the opportunity to work with them.

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.

- Social and short-form video production: Repurposing long-form footage into clips for LinkedIn, YouTube, and paid ads as short-form video continues to grow in B2B marketing. Another claim supported by the Wyzowl report says that 71% of marketers believe videos between 30 seconds and 2 minutes are most effective in communicating the brand message.
- Post-production and optimization: Editing, motion graphics, captions, and multi-platform formatting to maximize reach, reuse, and performance.
How much does it typically cost to hire these services in the United States?
The cost of hiring a video production agency in the US varies widely based on project scope, production quality, and deliverables. Timelines, number of shooting days, location/travel cost, size of the crew, experience, and resources needed all influence the final cost of a video production project.
- Hourly/agency rates: Many video production agencies charge around $100-$400 per hour for professional video services in the US, though actual totals depend on project scope.
- Typical project ranges: Most US video production projects fall roughly in the $1,500-$7,000 range for standard corporate videos (~60 seconds), depending on complexity and deliverables.
- Entry-level work: Simple corporate content (e.g., talking heads, basic social videos) can start around $2,500-$5,000 for straightforward shoots and editing.
- Mid to higher end: More polished brand, commercial, or multi-scene projects typically run $5,000 to $25,000+, especially if they include multiple locations, advanced graphics, actors, or special effects.
What additional costs should businesses expect during a project?
Additional costs in a video production project often include:
- Pre-production planning: Scriptwriting, storyboarding, casting, and location scouting add time and cost before filming begins.
- Talent and crew fees: Actors, presenters, directors, and camera crews increase costs based on experience and shoot length.
- Equipment and location costs: Camera, lighting, audio rentals, travel, and filming permits can significantly raise budgets.
- Post-production work: Editing, motion graphics, sound design, and color grading are separate phases that add substantial cost, representing 30-40% of total production costs.
- Music and stock assets: Licensed music, stock footage, and voiceovers are often charged per use.
How long does a typical project take to complete?
A typical video production project in the US takes about 4 to 8 weeks from planning to final delivery.
Most professional video projects include initial concept and strategy, scripting and storyboarding in the first week or two, a few days of shooting, and then post-production editing and revisions, leading to an overall timeline of around 4-8 weeks.
More complex animation or multi-scene productions can extend toward 10-12 weeks or more.
