B2B Review from Angie Holt
Thinkhaus has been a trusted partner to us for many years, helping us (re)build the entire sales & marketing strategy of our well-established business, to support a significant business redirection. As a small business, they have supported a cost-conscious strategy that has allowed us to prioritize the most impactful strategies on a budget over time. Thinkhaus has helped implement many different elements over time - brand strategy, new name & logo, new imagery, a new website, SEO, AI search visibility and various marketing support materials for special projects such as trade shows and promotional events. Together, these elements have helped us to stand out from our competitors to secure many new customers over the years.
Branding Review from Jason Phillips
The Thinkhaus team, led by Kelly Smith, delivers access to high-level brand strategy, design, and messaging for projects of almost any scale, while avoiding some of the overhead drawbacks of some agency competition. I have used Thinkhaus's services several times over a six-year period for naming, brand positioning, and service messaging. Thinkhaus gave the time and attention needed to understand the nuance of our communication needs. Even when things took some iteration, the team remained focused and dedicated. Thinkhaus is the kind of team you hire when a strong outside perspective is needed, with leadership that will listen, diagnose, and provide a strategic approach backed by significant experience.
Graphic Design Review from Pat Thatcher
Thinkhaus helped LIFT Athletics in our start up of the NPO sports ministry. They provided web design, consulting, branding, and marketing details.
Video production agencies help businesses communicate clearly at scale, turning strategy and messaging into channel-ready assets that can support goals, like awareness, trust, conversion, and customer education.
According to Statista, 60.1% of United States users engage in social video activities and 39.9% spend time on other social media activities, such as messaging and reading posts.
Moreover, Wyzowl reports that 84% of consumers want to see more videos from brands.
These data sets emphasize that videos are a necessary strategy for businesses to meet customer expectations.
In fact, 82% of marketers experienced a good return on investment on their videos:
While videos can be produced in-house, Wyzowl found that 89% of customers say that video quality impacts their trust in a brand.
Additionally, Techsmith’s survey reveals that the top reasons customers stop watching brand videos are when the video doesn’t match what they expected (25%), it is boring (22%), and it has poor quality (9%).
Top video production companies reduce these failure rates through tighter scripting, pacing, creative direction, and professional production value that customers will appreciate.
A professional video project can cost $1,000-$15,000 per finished minute, depending on the video type, length, quality, requirements, shooting days, casting size, and video effects.
On average, the rate of a professional video production team is $100-$250 per hour per team member, and video editing is $75-$150 per hour.
Based on these hourly rates, here’s how much you can expect per video type:
The video production process can take 1-3 months, depending on the approval process, concept complexity, shooting location, and availability of requirements (e.g., talent schedule and products needed for shooting).
Below is an approximate timeline:

Video production services typically encompass the end-to-end video creation lifecycle, helping businesses move from concept to final, channel-ready assets. These services are divided into three key stages:
Many corporate video production companies also cover the distribution and video marketing, including marketing strategy, platform publishing, search engine optimization (SEO), paid media, and social media.
The type of video your business should invest in will depend on your goals and target audiences. A useful rule of thumb is to start with a hero video content and plan shorter cutdowns for target social channels.
Here are the most common types of videos:
Based on Wyzowl’s report, the most popular types of videos created by businesses are live action (51%), animated (23%), and screen record (19%).
In terms of use cases, social media videos take the lead (69%), followed by explainer videos (68%), testimonial videos (57%), presentation videos (48%), and video ads (48%).
The length of your video will depend on your target audience, goal, message, and distribution platforms. According to Wistia’s State of Video Report, these video lengths have the highest engagement:
| Goal | Ideal Length | Example |
| Brand awareness and social media engagement | <1 minute | Promotional videos, product teasers, and brand videos |
| Educational videos | 1-5 minutes | Explainer videos and product demos |
| Training videos | 30+ minutes | Webinars and online courses |
Additionally, Wistia reports that 30-60-minute videos have the highest conversion rates at 17%, with the best placement for lead generation forms at the end of the video (60% conversion rate).
For short-form videos (less than 1 minute), the best practice is to hook your viewers within the first 5-10 seconds.
The primary difference between 4K and 1080p is the resolution (pixel dimension), which affects how much detail the video can display:
