      Douglas Hollmann's Review Sourced from Google

      I needed to find a way to convert a 1996 audiotape cassette I found of a piano concerto written by a former student of my wife who passed away in 1990 and Sarah got it done in no time at a reasonable price so that I could take it to a family reunion. The student is now a 51 year-old medical doctor in Philadelphia. Sarah is going to make people laugh and cry in three different states. The experience couldn't have been better. I highly recommend Adek for any of the many services they provide.Doug Hollmann

      Sarah and team are amazing! I didn’t even know exactly what I needed but they were so patient helpful and put together an estimate on the spot after talking it through with me. They also put up with a lot of follow up questions and add ons. They delivered and set up a screen, projection, mic and speaker system and it all worked flawlessly. Great price, great service, great people.

      Anastasia was extremely helpful in assessing the electronic needs for my event and walking me through setup, not to mention wonderfully gracious and patient throughout the whole process. Our event went great and the projector we rented worked beautifully. We would be quick to recommend them!

      Pugh & Tiller has been a tremendous partner and has helped us increase our overall share of voice in the market. Most recently, they helped us break the story on reporting the detection of malicious extensions on the VSCode marketplace, which drove 55+ media hits in top infosec outlets such as Bleeping Computer, SC Media, TheRegister, The Hacker News, TechRadar, Yahoo News, CISO Series, Tech Tribune France, My Navi News Japan, iThome Taiwan and others. And continues to be a top-rated article across our web properties for our company.

      Highly recommend. Pugh and Tiller was a fantastic partner to work with in getting the word out about our new 5 day boarding program. They focused first on getting the message right, then built out the necessary graphic/video assets to a extremely high level of quality, while simultaneously sourcing some very promising ad placement opportunities that seem like realistic and opportune channels to bring our message to market.

      I highly recommend Pugh & Tiller. My experience with this PR firm has been nothing less than exceptional. When you hire them, you work directly with Jessica and Matt, the firm’s partners, and not with an inexperienced junior person which can often happen with bigger firm engagements. With their combined decades of experience, Matt & Jessica know how to strategically guide you to achieve your goals. As a client, you benefit not only from their high level expertise, but also their careful attention to detail, consistent follow up, personalized attention, and professionalism. Through P&T’s efforts, my company has been able to secure multiple byline opportunities within our industry’s leading publications, speaker invitations at key events, podcast interviews and webinar events and top industry awards. I’ve enjoyed working with them and think you might too.

      I contacted Contrast about redesigning my company's website, which was very outdated.They went far beyond the redesign by first making it a point to getting to know me, my company and our goals. Their creative ideas were plentiful and unique branding suggestions inspired me to take a slightly different approach on a few things which, in hindsight, was definitely needed. Working with their talented team was fun and educational.The end result was a beautiful revived website with a focused message on who we are and what we do. I've had so many compliments on the new design and overall feel. I especially appreciated their passionate approach to my small project. It was obvious the entire team loves what they do. My experience with Contrast was so positive and enlightening, I wish I had more projects we could work on together.

      DATUM initially engaged Contrast and Co. for a re-imagination of our existing brand. The resulting outcome was a complete overhaul of our brand platform, messaging and visual vocabulary that exceeded our expectations. We were provided all the necessary assets and instructions to bring the vision Contrast established to life and maintain its integrity throughout our full breadth of use-cases. Throughout the branding process, the Contrast team was approachable, responsive and exceptionally easy to work with. We have continued to work with Contrast beyond our initial scope to roll out our new brand into different mediums. We would highly recommend Contrast for any organization contemplating rebranding.

      I saw the market need for a luxury private boat charter business in Grand Cayman. I communicated my vision to Kathy Floam-Greenspan and the team at Pomerantz Marketing and they helped bring my business to life beautifully. The reality of launching and running a business was more than I had ever imagined. Kathy Floam-Greenspan provides me with ongoing, hands-on strategic support. Within a year of starting up, Five Star Charters is thriving and consistently achieving five-star reviews online. If you are a small business owner that wants to fast forward to success, Kathy and Pom are well worth it. I couldn’t have done it without them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the typical video production services?

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

  • Pre-production: Establishing objectives, audience, creative approach, scope, budget, and timeline. Deliverables include a script, storyboard, shot list, casting plan, location plan, and production schedule, along with a list of risks, permits, and approvals needed. 
  • Production: Filming the actual video, with the crew, cameras, lighting, audio, and direction of talent. This often includes capturing supporting footage (B-roll) and managing the set to stay on schedule. 
  • Post-production: Editing the footage, including color correction and grading, sound mixing, motion graphics, and visual effects (VFX), and adding captions or subtitles. It also involves creating multiple versions for different channels. 

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. 

What type of video should your business invest in?

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: 

  • Brand video or corporate video focuses on establishing brand positioning and trust. It may also help attract and convert candidates for employment. Examples include recruiting videos, team spotlights, and onboarding and training videos.   
  • Commercial video production aims to increase brand awareness, customer engagement, and conversion rates. These can come in the form of product demo videos, customer story or testimonials, TV commercials, and social media videos (e.g., TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube). 
  • Product education and customer success videos help improve activation and retention. These include how-to videos, explainer videos, feature walkthroughs, onboarding series, and release announcements. 
  • Event videos extend the value of events and product launches through teasers, live streams, session recordings, and post-event recap videos for public relations (PR) and social media. 

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%). 

How long should your video be?

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: 

GoalIdeal LengthExample
Brand awareness and social media engagement<1 minute Promotional videos, product teasers, and brand videos
Educational videos 1-5 minutesExplainer videos and product demos
Training videos 30+ minutesWebinars 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.  

What is the difference between 4K and 1080p?

The primary difference between 4K and 1080p is the resolution (pixel dimension), which affects how much detail the video can display: 

  • 1080p (Full HD): 1920 x 1080 (2.1 million pixels)
  • 4K (UHD): 3840 x 2160 (8.3 million pixels) 

Here is a breakdown to guide your decision-making process: 

 1080p (Full HD)4K (Ultra HD)
Advantages
  • Smaller file size, making it easier to share and store 
  • Almost all devices, platforms, and screen sizes support this format without sacrificing quality 
  • More affordable to produce 
  • Higher quality videos, especially for large displays 
  • Enables video cropping, stabilization, and reframing without affecting quality 
  • Future-proof technology, with 4K video becoming the increasing standard
Disadvantages
  • Less flexibility for cropping and zooming 
  • Less detail on large screens
  • Requires higher processing power, storage space, and internet bandwidth 
  • More expensive to produce as post-production can be more demanding
Best for 
  • Social media videos and web video ads 
  • Mobile and laptop screens
  • Shoots where you expect multiple cutdowns/crops
  • Product or brand videos meant for big screens (e.g., billboard displays) 
  • OTT and CTV ads and TV commercials 
  • Computer screens and smart TVs 

How can you measure the success of your video?

To measure the success of your video, consider your marketing goals, past performance, and industry benchmarks to identify its definitive business impact. Below are key video marketing benchmarks

Brand awareness and reach 

  • Impressions: 5,000-10,000 per video is a good baseline for organic social videos; however, paid campaigns will depend on your target market, industry competition, and type of ad. 
  • View count: 1,000-5,000 views per video for B2B and 10,000+ views for B2C and retail 
  • Play rate: 40%-60% for landing page videos 

Lead capture 

  • Average view duration: 50%-70% for 1-minute videos, and 40-60% for 5-minute videos 
  • Engagement rate: 4.4% for Instagram Reels, 3.8% for YouTube Shorts, and 1%-2% for LinkedIn videos 
  • Click-through rate: 2%-3% 
  • Video-driven conversion rates: 2%-5% for eCommerce, and 1%-3% for B2B 

Attribution, ROI, and Optimization 

  • ThruPlay: 30%-50% for short-form Meta, Facebook, or Instagram Ads 
  • Share Count: 4%-8% for Instagram Reels, 2%-5% for YouTube, and 1%-2% for B2B 
  • Funnel Completion Rate: 10%-25% for B2B and 20%-35% for eCommerce
