Outsourcing your video production
The digital-first landscape demands high-quality content at scale and speed. Here’s everything you need to know.
Everyone in charge of content has, at some point, needed to outsource to get the job done on time. The right video production agency can help — extra capacity, specialist skills, or a whole team you don’t have in-house.
From how outsourcing benefits your company to how the Casual/Ariel network delivers — let’s dive in.
Five benefits you can’t afford to miss.
Ensure every piece of video content is of the highest quality, even at volume. An agency has the capacity to produce work at the pace you need.
Access a larger skill-set than what’s available in-house — specialist equipment, or a crew on the other side of the world tomorrow. A global agency guarantees your content always makes a splash.
Produce more with the same budget. We repurpose your content almost indefinitely — re-edits and social cut-downs — for maximum mileage from any investment.
You don’t need to choose between in-house and outsourcing. We work seamlessly with your team to shore up skills gaps, add capacity and speed up turnaround.
A long-term retainer gives ultimate peace of mind — no worrying about motivating an internal team, missing deadlines or substandard content. A production company remains 100% accountable by contract.
How Casual helps you deliver at volume
From strategy to pre- and post-production, animation or podcasting, four things set us apart: appropriate production value and excellent storytelling through our Ariel methodology; end-to-end production and strategy that takes everything off your hands; reliable, personalised retainers that guarantee your schedule; and a cost-efficient content guarantee that makes your budget go further with re-edits and social cut-downs.
Outsourced work we’re proud of.
“Casual Films has become a part of our extended team. Developing a nuanced understanding of the business, they’ve continued to provide satisfying deliverables that communicate the brand accurately — meeting deadlines and adapting to changes easily.”
