BookHIGATE / Film, culture + creative campaigns / Bay Area
You don't need just another pretty video.
You need results.
You’ve put too much into your art for it to disappear in the feed. We make videos and run ads to help new people find your work, listen to the song, watch the film, or come to the show.
Bring the song, the idea, or the rough plan. We’ll talk about how video and ads could help people find it. Free 15-minute Google Meet.

Start with the art.
Build a way for people to find it.
The work comes first.
Then we plan how someone discovers it, what they see, and where they go next.
Get to know the work.
You show us what you’re making and who you want to reach. We talk about the release, the budget, and what a useful result would look like.
Bring the idea to the screen.
We plan and produce the film, photos, and agreed release content with you. The story and visual choices follow your work.
Give new people a way in.
If paid campaigns are part of the plan, we build and manage them around the agreed audience and next step. You approve the scope and ad budget before launch.
Look at what happened.
With available tracking, we review the measures we chose, such as views, listens, ticket sales, or inquiries. Together we decide what to change or make next.

For the ones
making their own way.

What are you making?
Who needs to see it?
Tell us what you’re making, when you want to share it, and who you’d love to reach. In a free 15-minute Google Meet, we’ll talk about whether a film, a campaign, or both could help.

The song, film, event, or idea. Tell us what’s ready and what’s still taking shape.
- 02The people you want to reach
Who already knows your work, who you’d like to reach next, and where they spend time.
- 03Decide if we’re a fit

Do you make the videos and run the ads?
Yes. We can make the videos and manage the paid campaigns, so you have one team working on both. We’ll agree on the channels, budget, and what we’re doing before launch.
Will the work still feel like me?
That’s where we start. We want to understand your work and your point of view before we plan the visuals. You’re part of those decisions.
What does the monthly price include?
Content starts at $3,000/month. Your proposal spells out what we’ll make, the shoot schedule, revisions, and usage. Ad management and the money paid to ad platforms are separate costs we’ll discuss with you.
What do one-time projects start at?
One-time projects have a $10,000 minimum. We agree on the production, deliverables, and total price before any payment. Ad spend and campaign management are scoped separately.
What would a useful result look like?
It depends on your release. We might aim for more people watching the full film, listening to the song, visiting a ticket page, or sending an inquiry. We agree on the goal, then review the response where tracking is available.
What happens on the free call?
We’ll ask what you’re making, who you want to reach, and how we might help. It’s a free 15-minute Google Meet. Bring your questions; you don’t need to prepare a presentation.
Can we talk before I have a video idea?
Yes. Tell us what you’re making, who you want to reach, and what you’ve got so far. The call is a chance to see where we could help, even if the visual idea isn’t settled.
Can we start with one project?
Absolutely. We can start with a video, photos, an event, or a campaign. We’ll figure out the scope with you. You don’t have to choose a monthly partnership to work with us.
When do we pay?
After we agree on the work and payment terms, we’ll send a secure deposit or invoice link. Booking a call or asking for a quote costs nothing. We only set up recurring payments with clear terms and your consent.
