When creating YouTube and Facebook video we work at integrating it into your advertising plan to drive profitable and proven results.

In the hands of the average user, it’s a waste of money that pulls in little to NO ROI. But in the hands of Mongoose Films we help you craft your message and target your specific audience making it one of the most powerful forms of advertising in history.

Did you know that YouTube, Google and Facebook allow you to advertise to married males, who live in the 32821 zip code, with a home value of $250,000, children in the house, and a net worth of $150,000.  Yes, just like that!  You can quickly target your audience, and immediately begin seeing results.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING TO DO?

GET STARTED

I’m looking to get started because Facebook advertising is new to me and not very experienced at it. I want to make sure my campaigns are run correctly and work to my benefit for best ROI.

GROW RESULTS

I already advertise on Facebook, but I don’t have time to manage it myself. I’m looking to grow this part of my business using Facebook, but need extra help to do so.

EXPAND RAPIDLY

I’m already on Facebook and we do use its advertising platform, however, I need an agency to oversee my advertising strategy. I want maximum results and I know I need to spend for that kind of commitment to my account.

Vanilla Ice Cream….Soft Serve….in a cone. If I had to choose something else that isn’t a dessert, I would go with Mongolian BBQ with a little bit of spice.

I love series when it comes to movies…”Back to The Future” – “Star Wars” etc… But I also love “Singin’ in the Rain” & “Casablanca”. Nothing scary for me. Which is the exact opposite of my wife. haha

Outside of spending time with my wife Jill, my kids Jackson and Annie, and our two Golden Retrievers, I love playing video games. Any Zelda game is far and away my favorite genre or Final Fantasy. On top of that I have also taken up wood working and creating furniture. Throughout the year my family and I can often be found Kayaking, camping or hiking.

Hands down, my all time favorite food is Pizza. It has all the best ingredients, especially cheese which is another favorite food of mine.

My favorite movie is Groundhog Day starring the always great Bill Murray. I know most of the movie by heart and it always makes me smile when I watch it. I’m also big into the the Marvel Cinematic Universe because of how everything connects together.

I like way too much music to boil it down to a favorite. I mostly enjoy anything from the 70’s to the 90’s, but sometimes you might even find me listening to early oldies from the 50’s and 60’s.

I enjoy playing video games in my free time. I have played all my life, from the original NES to now with the Playstation 4. I also enjoy reading, volleyball, board games with friends, and the occasional jigsaw puzzle.

Buffalo wings. My folks are from The Nickel City, so I was raised on chicken wings.

There are certain movies, which if they’re on TV while I’m channel surfing, I’ll always watch a few minutes of. Step Brothers, Inglorious Basterds and just about any Marvel Movie come to mind. But, if there’s one movies that I’ll call my favorite, it’s The Departed.

I listen to a lot of rock from The Beatles to Metallica. But I count Stone Temple Pilots as my favorite band.

I have a rescue dog named Duff (after the bass player for Guns n’ Roses) who demands a lot of my time. Other than taking him to the dog park, I like to go to concerts and sporting events.

What isn’t my favorite food lol  I could eat sushi everyday…I also love BBQ in general.

I’m a huge super hero fan. You’ll find me at every opening night. I adore Wonder Woman(saw it 5 five times in theatres) I also love musicals…Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and Phantom of the Opera are my favs! Movies are pretty much life imo

TBH I’m either listening to musicals OR just whatever’s playing on the Top 40 stations.

My favorite thing is to be next to the water with a good book.

Step 1: Pre-Production and Development

What happens after you call or email us?

The Introduction: 

First, we get together for coffee, tea, maybe a craft beer?  Your team, our team – we listen to you so we can learn what makes your story unique.

We begin to know your company and you, we listen to your values, goals and idea. We help find your voice and your message.

We ask you a lot of questions during our introduction. That way the video solution we recommend will meet your goals. Communication is the most important aspect of our relationship. Our number one priority is producing a video that visually shows your company’s personality, brand, and purpose.

Creative Strategy: The How, The Where, The When

After our discovery phase, we develop a written plan based on everything we learned from you. We produce multiple ideas, have ongoing conversations with you, and then refine and polish the work until a clear direction emerges.

Style Boards: The Peek Into The Production

Ready for a peek into what your end video will look like? At this stage, we create style boards to present the ideas and give you a close-up look and feel for the video production piece.

Storyboard, Story Reel, and Script: The Technical Run-Through

It’s time for a dress rehearsal! Our detailed storyboards, full script, and story reel will define the key moments of the story and establish the composition and motion of the video. Because you’ll have a full written narrative of the video production, you’ll see the story arc of the video. This is our opportunity to finalize the feel and make any tweaks or changes needed to make this video stellar.

Stage 2: Production

Now that we’ve established a firm connection and have created an outline of an incredible video that perfectly mirrors your company values and goals, it’s time to get down to work.

Coordination of Video Production:

Locations, talent, crew, equipment — these details are all organized and ironed out to prep for the big day of the first shoot!

Production Days:

Now the fun really begins as we orchestrate all the elements in front of and behind the camera. We capture the original footage, and begin the exciting days of shooting.

Visual Asset Production:

If your video needs animation instead of ‘live shooting’, this is where your 3D and 2D elements are designed, modeled, animated, composited, and rendered.

Audio Asset Production:

Everything audio is chosen. We either use original music, or find a stock option that suits your video. If needed, narration tracks are recorded.

Stage 3: Editing

Now that we have all the raw materials, we go to work looking through hours of film and animation production, carefully choosing every -second. We splice them together, adding each asset layer and then unveil your first full rough draft of the video production. You give us feedback and critiques, and we go to work again. (There are generally 3 rounds of this editing process.)

Color Correction:

Footage and rendered assets get polished, brightened, and colored to precisely match the tone of the video project.

Sound Mixing and Mastering:

Our audio techs mix and master all audio to be clear, and level. Basically, we make sure that the audio sounds as amazing as the film looks.

Digital Master:

The final high quality master of the final project…Our video production team finishes the mastering to a high resolution file and wraps up the project.

Stage 4: Distribution, Assessment, Measurement

Because our teams places such a high value on the value of our production, we don’t leave you in the lurch when it comes time to present. We believe that it’s not just about creating the content but also about delivering it in the right way. So, we help you release your video on whatever platforms you need it.

Launch:

We provide encoded delivery through the web, on your mobile phone, tablet, DVD, Blu-ray — however you want it, we’ve got you covered. You are now officially ready to present your video to the world!

Or whoever it is you are producing for, anyway.

Leverage Distribution:

We can help you assess additional ways you can use the content developed for your video. Email marketing, social, and even print marketing are fantastic ways to spread the word about your new video production piece. The goal is to extend the reach of your story and get the maximum return on your video production investment.

Measurement:

Now that your video production launched and distributed, you need to know – did it work? Did we meet the goals outlined in the Discovery Phase? An often overlooked phase, this helps inform continued distribution on what worked best, refining future efforts.

Our creative team is excited to sit down with you and find a targeted way to produce a sophisticated, high-quality video for you and your business. We value your brand image and voice as much as you do, and we love working with clients who are willing to dig deep into their company culture and create a video that exemplifies their vision, values, and purpose.

That’s what we do. Ready to schedule our coffee date?
