Brand Packages
We have been running around New Zealand with cameras for a while, and we know most local businesses have absolutely cracking stories to tell. The catch is, these stories don’t get told because video production is complicated with a ton of moving parts and hidden costs.
Our mission is to cut the fluff from the video production and distil down the most important aspects of telling a great story in an organic way. Our approach involves a simple pre-production meeting, documentary on set coverage (leaving room for candid magic), beautiful story-based editing with a high-end colour grade and sound mix to wrap it all up in a bow.

What is ‘Brand’
(And Why Your Business Needs One)
What is ‘Brand’ Actually?
Your brand isn’t your logo or your color scheme (though those help). It’s the feeling people get when they think about your business. It’s what makes someone choose you over the equally qualified competitor down the road. Think of it as your business’s personality — the collection of stories, values, and experiences that stick in people’s minds long after they’ve left your website.
Your brand is essentially who you are, what you stand for, and why anyone should care.
Why Brand Matters
Here’s the thing about human brains — we’re wired for stories, not spreadsheets. People don’t just buy products; they buy into ideas, feelings, and futures they want to be part of. A strong brand:
Creates emotional connection — customers become advocates, not just purchasers
Justifies premium pricing — people pay more for brands they trust and love
Simplifies decision-making — in a world of endless options, familiarity wins
Builds lasting relationships — brand loyalty outlasts product cycles and price wars
Without a clear brand, you’re just another option in a sea of sameness. With a strong brand, you become the obvious choice.
How Our Brand Films & Photography Help
We don’t just capture pretty pictures — we uncover and amplify your story.
Discover your authentic narrative through deep research and story excavation
Translate abstract brand values into concrete, visual stories people actually remember
Create emotional connection using proven storytelling frameworks
Build your brand bank — a collection of visual assets that consistently reinforce who you are
Whether it’s a brand film that makes people think “I want to work with these humans” or photography that captures your business’s true personality, we help turn your brand from an abstract concept into something people can see, feel, and connect with.
Because at the end of the day, people don’t buy from businesses — they buy from brands they believe in.

A brand film is a story-led piece that communicates your purpose, values, and personality—not just your features.
It builds emotional connection and trust, often living on your homepage, in sales decks, at events, and across social.
Ads push an immediate offer; brand films pull people into who you are and why you matter.
