Nº001 / Intro

Built for
consistent
long-term
growth.

Content. Social. Ads.

Video production, social media management and paid ad management, handled by one small crew in Encinitas. From creative direction to filming and editing through to posting and campaigns, we take the whole thing off your plate. No chasing a videographer, no writing captions at 11pm, no wondering why last month’s ad stopped working. One small crew plans it, shoots it, cuts it, posts it and runs the campaigns — every month, without you managing any of it.

We're small, fast, and flexible by design. No layers of agency overhead, no waiting on a producer to route your notes, no stack of vendors to coordinate. You get the strategy and quality of a larger agency with the speed of a specialized content team, starting at $3,000 a month.

Consistent organic content builds trust; paid ads put it in front of the people ready to buy. Together, they're the combination that actually grows a brand. We run both for you — fast, reliable coverage that adapts to whatever your brand needs next. Steady growth, every single month.

Hey,
I'm Rob.

Creative Director, Generic Video

For the last 10+ years I've had the privilege of working on a wide array of creative projects — from short films and music videos to commercials and TV shows.

My goal is to collaborate with good people and help take their businesses to the next level.

Nº004 / In their words

What the
clients say.

Working with Rob, it was clear at every step that he understood the assignment and was prepared to deliver on the vision for the project. Great with a camera, great with a drone, and great editor. We will continue to use Rob again and again.

David Allee Founder, Almond Surfboards

Rob and his team are a double threat. Not only do they capture the most magical moments, but their editing skills are five star, rapid response and spot on. No directing is necessary, as they intuitively sense the essence of our event.

Barnett English Founder, Joshua Tree Music Festival

Rob has an incredible eye and brings a unique perspective to both filming and editing. He creates dynamic, stylized videos that truly captivate the viewer, and expresses the subject in a crystal clear manner. Always a pleasure to work with, and the final product is always remarkable and memorable.

Hand it
over.

Choose Ads if you want the paid side handled too, from the creative through to the campaigns and the day-to-day optimization. Every package is month to month, so you can scale up, scale down, or pause between seasons.

Nº006 / How it works

The
process.

Five stages on a loop. You're in it for the approvals and nothing else — each round is shaped by how the last one actually performed, so the work compounds instead of resetting.

Nº001

Research

We learn about your brand, your goals, your target market, and competitors.

Nº002

Strategize

We collaborate monthly on video concepts that align with your messaging and goals, then plan and organize the details for the shoots — crew, talent, locations.

Nº003

Produce

Filming begins. We use a mix of gear and techniques to allow maximum flexibility in post, then cut the videos for the package and submit them for your feedback.

Nº004

Deliver

After revisions, we prepare the video package for the relevant platforms. On Social and Ads we schedule and post everything for you. On Content it lands in your hands ready to publish.

Nº005

Analyze

We read the numbers so you don't have to — reach, engagement, conversions, and cost per result on the paid side. Whatever worked gets built on next month.

Rinse & repeat

By consistently experimenting with our concepts and evolving the strategy based on results, over the long term growth is inevitable.

Nº007 / FAQ

Questions,
answered.

We’re a full-service content agency: short-form video, social media content, creative strategy, and paid advertising. We handle the whole thing end to end — content planning, creative direction, filming, editing and repurposing, then the content calendar, captions, posting, scheduling and replying to comments and DMs, then building and managing the paid campaigns on Meta. The point is that none of it stays on your desk. You approve the plan each month and we run everything else.

We're small, fast, and flexible by design. Unlike traditional creative agencies with large teams and layers of overhead, we keep our operation lean. This allows us to move quickly, adapt to changes, communicate directly, and deliver more content without the unnecessary agency markup. And because the same crew shoots the video, writes the captions, posts it and runs the ads, nothing falls between vendors — you have one point of contact for the whole operation instead of three.

We're based in Encinitas and shoot across North County San Diego at no extra charge — Carlsbad, Solana Beach, Del Mar, Cardiff, Oceanside, La Jolla and downtown San Diego. Being local means we can catch the light, the swell or the lunch rush without it costing you a travel day. Orange County and Los Angeles are available with a travel add-on.

Every package includes 6 short-form reels (15–30 seconds), 2 longer edits (30–60 seconds) and cover art for each video, in every aspect ratio you need. Social adds the calendar, captions, posting and replies on top. Ads adds 4 paid cuts for Facebook and Instagram with A/B variants, plus the campaign management behind them.

First cuts land within 72 hours of the shoot. From there the rest of the month's edits roll out on a schedule we set together rather than arriving in one dump at the end, so you always have something queued to post. Revisions come back quickly too — the whole point of a retainer is that we're already briefed and already rolling.

We run them. On the Ads retainer we build the creative and manage the paid side for you — campaign setup on Meta, audience targeting, budget pacing, bidding, and ongoing optimization against cost per result. When a cut starts to fatigue we replace it, because the crew making the creative is the same crew watching the numbers. Your media budget sits outside the retainer, and each month you get a report on what it spent, what it returned, and what we're testing next. There's nothing to hand off to a second agency.

Three tiers, all month to month. Content is $3,000 a month, Social is $5,000, and Ads starts at $8,000 — each one builds on the last, so you're choosing how much of the work comes off your plate rather than negotiating a line-item quote. Ad spend is separate — the retainer covers the creative and the management, not the media budget, which we set with you each month. Custom packages are available for businesses with unique content or production requirements.

You do. Every package includes full commercial rights to everything we shoot for you, across any channel, with no usage clock and no renewal fees. The Ads package also includes the raw files.

No long-term contract. Every package is month to month — you can pause or cancel with 30 days' notice. Seasonal businesses often run heavy through summer and pause in the off months, which is a normal way to use this.

We aim to feel more like an extension of your team than an outside agency. In practice that means a short monthly call to approve the plan, and then it's handled — shot, cut, posted and advertised without you chasing anyone. We work closely with you to understand your brand, develop ideas, plan production, and keep improving the work based on what's performing. Our partnerships are built for the long term, so we're constantly looking for ways to make your content more effective and help your business grow.

Getting started is simple. Book a consultation and tell us about your business, goals, and current content strategy. We'll learn what you're trying to achieve, identify opportunities, and recommend a content plan that fits your needs and budget. Once we agree on the strategy, we take care of the rest.
