Multimedia Sessions
Today’s small businesses need visuals to compete in the marketplace. Visuals increase credibility, connect with consumers and effectively tell a brand’s story.
Especially on social media, images and videos attract viewers at higher rates than written content.
Creating a photo gallery or video library can be intimidating, especially with new editions of cameras and equipment being released everyday.
Relying on a team of professionals to create multimedia content can be key to advancing your brand’s website and social media presence. Having professional video content on your webpage can increase conversions by 80 percent. Think of it as an investment.
1893 Brand Studio offers multimedia sessions to build up a library of content for a client. Sessions are an hour for a team member to shoot photos or videos of your business. Content is usually produced for social media and emphasizes the most engaging and visual aspects of your business.
Headshots
Looking for a new headshot? Whether you’re auditioning for a theatrical role, promoting a new book or needing an updated headshot for LinkedIn, 1893 Brand Studio has you covered. We offer professional headshots at affordable prices in Chapel Hill.
Our team of experienced photographers knows how to make you look good, no matter the angle.
Some tips for the perfect headshot:
- Make sure your personality shines through. Some people say you should channel your inner Tyra Banks, but we suggest just being comfortable in your own skin. Getting to know the photographer can help calm some pre-photo jitters. You want to look like yourself so don’t act like anyone else!
- Don’t stress about what to wear. A simple solid colored shirt that fits you well always looks great and doesn’t distract from your expression. Matching the color of the shirt with your eyes can make them look brighter.
- Relax and have fun! Our photographers are professionals, so you’ll get high-quality photos for whatever you need.
Live Event Photography
For a small business, events are a big deal. Whether it’s an employee appreciation night, an anniversary celebration or VIP customer event, it’s likely that a lot of thought and planning went into it.
As the host, the last thing you want to do is be running around with a camera. You and your staff will want to enjoy the result of the hard work that you’ve put in, rather than be focused on documenting it. It can be hard to guarantee the quality of photos as well if they’re not taken by a professional photographer.
You’ve worked hard to put on the event, showcase the work with high quality professional photos from 1893 Brand Studio. We can send one or multiple photographers to cover the event.
Documentary-Style Videos
Documentary-style videos are any longer form videos that aren’t produced for social media. They usually last around 60 to 90 seconds and tell a story about your business or explain a product.
Embedding a video on your website helps consumers better understand your product, tells your brand story in a memorable way and increases sales. Watching a video shows consumers exactly how your product or service works and how it applies to their life. Research shows that consumers are more likely to buy a product or service after watching a video about it.
The 1893 Brand Studio photography and video team produces documentary-style videos in a high quality, professional format that encourages viewer sharing.
Social Videos
Part of an effective social media strategy includes videos. Videos fit into many campaign strategies, but social videos are designed specifically for social media channels.
A 2018 HubSpot survey found that 54 percent of customers wanted to see video content from a brand or business they support. Customers want to watch a quick video skit or advertisement over sifting through wordy explanations. Videos provide a quick and easy way for customers to learn more about a company in a fun, casual format.
The most influential sites remain Youtube, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Videos produced for Youtube are longer and more informative, created to give customers a glimpse into the company. Facebook and Instagram both have live video options that popular among users.
The 1893 Brand Studio produces social short, engaging videos for any of these platforms, designed to tell your brand’s story and intrigue the viewer. And who knows, there’s always the chance that your brand’s video could go viral and increase brand awareness exponentially!
