Fall Sweet — Lingerie Launch Campaign

Fall Sweet came to us with a clear brief for the launch of a new lingerie collection. The campaign needed to feel elegant, elevated and varied, with multiple models and enough visual range to support the brand across its website and social channels. We developed the creative direction, scouted the locations, coordinated casting and hair and makeup, and produced both the campaign photography and promotional videos. The result was a polished launch library that moved from intimate product details to broader lifestyle imagery while keeping the collection visually consistent.

Savalé Footwear — New Collection Launch Campaign

Savalé Footwear gave us the freedom to build a launch campaign around the personality of its new sneaker collection. We developed a retro-inspired creative concept centered on a vintage television reveal, rotating product shots and bold close-up details, then produced the photography and video in a Los Angeles studio. With no talent on set, the entire visual story was built through product styling, movement, lighting and graphic brand details. The final campaign gave Savalé a distinctive set of launch assets for its website and social channels.

Brand Campaign Production FAQ

What to know before planning your brand campaign

View the most common questions Hide the questions

Production & Planning

Can you handle the full production, or work with our existing team?

Both. We can lead and coordinate the full production, including casting, crew, locations, permits, wardrobe, styling, hair and makeup, catering, and shoot-day logistics. Our core team has clearly defined roles across creative, production, photography, video, and post-production, which keeps communication clear and prevents details from falling between vendors. We can also integrate with your in-house team, agency, or PR partners and take on exactly the parts you need.

Do you provide both campaign photography and video?

Yes. We plan photography and video as one coordinated production, which keeps the look consistent and makes efficient use of the location, talent, crew, and shoot time. Photography and video are also available as standalone services when that better fits the brief.

What's included in a full-service campaign production?

Every production is built around the brief. Depending on what you need, we can coordinate creative direction, casting and talent through our Los Angeles agency relationships, hair and makeup, wardrobe styling, catering, crew, location scouting, studio space, permits, photography, video, and post-production. For larger productions, we can also build out specialized art, lighting, technical, and finishing teams as the brief requires. This gives your team fewer vendors to manage and one coordinated production plan from start to finish.

What size campaigns do you take on?

We scale the production around the brief rather than forcing every project into the same setup. Some brands need a focused photography or video shoot with a small crew, while others need a full campaign production with talent, styling, multiple locations, and a larger photo and motion team. We'll recommend the production that makes sense for your goals and budget, without adding layers you don't need.

What happens before the shoot day?

We start with your brief, campaign goals, channels, timeline, and deliverables. From there, we develop and confirm the creative direction, shot list, casting, locations, and schedule together, so the key creative and logistical decisions are settled before anyone steps on set.

How do you make sure the creative supports the campaign goals?

We start with what the campaign needs to achieve, where the work will run, and what your team needs to deliver. Chris brings a commercial background to the creative process, so the photography and video are planned to work across your intended channels, formats, and customer touchpoints, not just to look good. The shot list and deliverables get built around those goals from the start.

How do you manage budgets, timelines and approvals?

We define the scope, estimate, schedule, deliverables, and approval points before production begins, so you know what's included, what decisions are needed, and when feedback is due. We build realistic production and delivery schedules, confirm responsibilities early, and flag anything that could affect timing or cost as soon as we see it, so nothing surprises you at delivery.

How do you build the right production for each budget?

We build each production around your campaign goals, deliverables, and priorities. Our long-standing relationships across crew, casting, styling, and locations let us put strong teams together efficiently and keep more of the budget focused on what actually appears on screen. We're upfront about costs from the start and help you decide where to invest, where to simplify, and how to create the strongest possible production within the approved budget.

Logistics & Next Steps

Do you handle permits, insurance, and talent releases?

When a shoot calls for them, yes. We work to have location permits, certificates of insurance, location agreements, and model releases confirmed as part of pre-production, so the paperwork is in place well ahead of the shoot day.

How are usage rights and campaign licensing handled?

Usage is scoped around the media, territory, and length of the campaign, whether the work runs across paid social, digital, print, retail, or out-of-home. We review photography, video, and talent usage early in the process, so licensing terms and costs are clear before anything is booked.

What's included in post-production?

Post-production can include image selection, retouching, color grading, video editing, sound, and channel-specific formatting for web, social, paid media, retail, and print. We agree on the number of final assets, aspect ratios, file formats, and review rounds ahead of time, so the delivery process is clear from the beginning.

What do you need to prepare an estimate?

A polished brief helps but isn't required. We typically ask about your campaign goals, intended channels, photo and video deliverables, usage needs, locations, talent, timeline, and preferred production dates. If parts of that are still taking shape, we'll help you define the scope.

Where do you shoot brand campaigns?

We produce brand campaigns throughout Los Angeles, San Diego, and Southern California. Shoots can take place on location, in a studio, or across multiple locations depending on the brief. We also travel for select productions outside California.

Planning a commercial shoot or campaign in Los Angeles or San Diego? Share your brand, goals, and timeline, and we’ll recommend the right production approach for your budget.

No commitment - just a conversation about what you're shooting and what it costs.
