While in-house teams are ideal for regular, day-to-day content creation, Story Real Studios is the strategic partner you need for impactful storytelling and high-quality production that delivers measurable results.

The budget for video production and marketing depends on the complexity, scope, and goals of your project. For manufacturing video content, costs typically range from $25,000 to $75,000+ per year, covering planning, filming, editing, and distribution of monthly video content. We’ll work with you to create a customized plan that maximizes impact within your budget.

À la carte / individual videos start at $5,500 and can go to $15,000+ depending on complexity. 

We typically reccomend an additional allocation for ad spend & paid marketing. This should be 80-200% of your annual production spend. 

Manufacturing video content accelerates the sales cycle by building trust and enhancing customer understanding and brand perception. It elevates your brand identity, positioning you as the go-to market leader in your space. Additionally, it inspires loyalty and fosters a sense of purpose among stakeholders and employees, strengthening your overall impact.

This depends on your goal:

• Building Trust & Brand Awareness: Corporate overview videos, facility tours, and behind-the-scenes content.
• Driving Sales: Product demonstrations, case studies, and customer testimonials.
• Enhancing Training & Safety: Employee onboarding, instructional, and safety protocol videos.
• Showcasing Innovation: Process highlights, technology spotlights, and time-lapse manufacturing sequences.
• Attracting Talent: Recruitment videos that highlight company culture and career opportunities.

Each video type is tailored to meet specific objectives, ensuring maximum impact.
