Plenty of shops in Palm Beach County can point a camera. Fewer can hand you video that actually moves the needle. Whether you're comparing video studios or West Palm Beach marketing agencies that also do video, use these questions on every team you talk to, including us.
1. Who actually shoots and edits?
Some agencies sell the job and hand it off to freelancers. Ask who's on set and who's in the edit.
Our answer: Every frame, in-house. Crew and edit are our own team.
2. Can I see work like mine?
A great reel in the wrong industry tells you little. Ask for projects close to your business and goal.
Our answer: Browse our work. Two examples: Dove Men+Care for ads and 3Natives for franchise testimonials.
3. Do you publish starting prices?
If an agency won't give you any number, budget talks get slow.
Our answer: Yes. Social and short-form starting at $1,500, brand/corporate starting at $3,500, commercials starting at $5,000. Full list on our video production cost page, and answers in our cost FAQ.
4. Are there travel fees or add-ons?
Ask what's not in the quote.
Our answer: No travel fee. Every cost is built into the quote.
5. Are you insured, and who pulls permits?
Shooting at a marina, on a street or in a public space can need permits. If something goes wrong on set, you want the crew covered.
Our answer: We're fully insured and handle permits and any other paperwork a shoot needs.
6. How long will it take?
Get a timeline in writing, plus a rush option.
Our answer: 1–3 weeks standard, 24–72 hours rush.
7. Studio, on-site, or both?
Our answer: Both. We film on location and at our Georgia Ave studio in West Palm Beach.
8. Can you handle specialty shoots?
If you're in marine, real estate or hospitality, ask about aerials and on-water work.
Our answer: Yes. Drone, chase boat, boat shows and remote testimonials. See our marine, testimonial and corporate pages.
9. Who runs the ads once the video is done?
Video that never gets distributed is a sunk cost.
Our answer: Media buying is in-house. We can make the creative and run it, or hand it to your media buyer.
10. How do you measure success?
Ask what the agency will track and report. Good video should perform, not just look good.
Our answer: We build for the goal you give us, and we'd rather show you results than tell you we're good.

Hiring a marketing agency in West Palm Beach, not just a video crew?
If you need more than video, the same questions apply, plus one more: does the work connect? A marketing agency in West Palm Beach should be able to tie your video, SEO, ads and website to one goal instead of handing each piece to a different vendor. Before you hire a marketing agency, ask:
- Which services are in-house? See what we cover on our services page.
- How does content marketing feed the rest? Good West Palm Beach content marketing means one shoot turns into ads, social posts and pages that rank, not a one-time video that sits on a hard drive.
- What does reporting look like? A short monthly report tied to your goal (calls, forms, sales) beats a pile of vanity metrics.
- Do you cover my area? We work across Palm Beach and Broward, from North Palm Beach marketing projects to shoots in Fort Lauderdale.
Budgets follow scope. Video starts at the prices on our cost page, website care starts at $500/mo, and SEO and ads are custom quotes.
