I'm going to get a little flak on this one, so here we go.
Let's talk about the Super Bowl. Some people watch it for the games, some people watch it for the halftime show, but I watch it for the commercials.
Every year, the world's biggest companies pay millions of dollars to advertise during America's biggest sporting events. Their ads are highly produced and often funny, thought-provoking, heartwarming, and informative. These are his 30 second short films that showcase the abilities of some of the best filmmakers in the industry.
This makes it even more annoying when local ads appear about halfway through the game.
Listen, I know most companies don't have huge budgets, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that if you pay a fortune for one of the very limited local time slots available on TV, If you're a local business, you need the budget you need. Coming with you is your A game. But every year, without exception, local TV advertising during the Super Bowl is terrible. Not only is “not as good as a million dollar ad” bad, but so is “competing to see who can come up with the worst video.”
If you've been reading my articles, you know that I don't think it's necessary to hire a video production company for every video project you do. However, first impressions are very important. TV spots, even those that don't air during the Super Bowl, should always be done professionally, as they are the first impression of your business to many potential customers.
What do you want that first impression to be? With crisp visuals, dynamic lighting, and professional framing, your commercials will tell your audience that your brand values excellence and attention to detail. Similarly, good audio quality is essential to effectively conveying your message. A professional production company will ensure that your commercial's audio is clear and impactful, including dialogue, narration, and music. Combining these elements can significantly increase audience engagement and brand awareness.
Additionally, working with a professional team means you have access to the latest technology and industry expertise without having to invest in expensive equipment yourself. It's a cost-effective solution that delivers high return on investment through engaging content that resonates with your audience and encourages sharing. A professional production company will also apply their creative insight and storytelling skills to transform your vision into a compelling story that speaks directly to your target audience.
Investing in a professional video production company for your TV commercials does more than just make your ads look and sound good. It's about leveraging expertise and technology to engage, make an impression, and deliver a lasting message.
This shows that the brand is committed to quality and respects the time and attention of its audience. With the right team behind your commercial, you can create powerful, effective content that elevates your brand and connects with your audience on a deeper level.
