BRANDED CONTENT, MADE IN MELBOURNE

We make branded content three ways: original content built for a brand, coverage of the events and activations they put their name to, and campaigns that bring two brands together. Audiences skip ads, but they choose stories, so it has to be worth watching before it is worth selling. Recent clients include Country Road, Rollinโ€™ Insurance, HoMie, Tommy Hilfiger and Microsoft.

Branded content in Melbourne

We make branded content for brands that want something longer and more considered than an ad. Recent work includes HoMie Store Sessions, Converse x Gnomeboys, Harperโ€™s Bazaar, Ritz Carlton, Tommy Hilfiger, Country Road and Microsoft.

The first thing we work out with you is access: who you can put on camera, what we are allowed to film and how long we get with them. That shapes the film more than anything else, so we settle it before we plan the shoot.

Live sessions and interviews need different setups. A live session only happens once, so we build the crew for the night and plan the coverage in advance. An interview is usually one camera, one person and enough time for them to relax into it.

Either way, the aim is a film people would watch even if the brand was not in it.

If you want to see how a job runs from the first brief to the final files, here is how we run a production.

Branded content is scoped around access, time and talent rather than polish for its own sake, so the number follows the idea. Once we know who is on camera, where and for how long, we quote it fixed, and series are priced as a package.

An ad interrupts. Branded content earns its audience by being worth watching on its own, with the brand present but not shouting. The test is simple: would anyone choose to watch this if it were not attached to a brand?

Watch time and completion rate over impressions, because this content is chosen rather than served. Beyond that, brand search lift and the quality of the response tell you more than raw view counts.

Yes, and it usually should. A returning format builds an audience over time and spreads the production cost across more episodes.

Often, including musicians and athletes. Our job is protecting what makes them worth watching rather than scripting it out of them.

The brand owns the films, with usage windows for talent and music agreed before we shoot. We put the terms in the quote because renegotiating rights after launch is painful and expensive.

As long as it holds. We have delivered 3 minute films and a 16 minute live session. Audiences happily watch long content that earns the time and abandon short content that does not.

The hero film plus cutdowns, teasers, vertical edits, stills and captions. Series episodes each arrive with their own full asset set.

Tell us the audience you want to reach and what access you can offer. Access to real people and real stories is what decides whether branded content is any good.
