What we hear, going in

Generic video doesn't sell technical products.

Two complaints we hear from manufacturing leadership, almost weekly:

“We need a product video for the trade show. The last one we made looks dated and generic. We don't want to do that again.” What we hear from VP marketing and brand leads, most weeks
“Sales asked for application case study videos. We hired a freelancer. The interviews are fine. The b-roll is unusable.” What we hear from manufacturing CEOs, most weeks

Most manufacturer video is either templated (motion graphics over stock footage, immediately recognizable, immediately undermines credibility) or shot by a generalist videographer who didn't understand the equipment (wrong angles, missed the safety detail, soft on the product). The buyers evaluating a $40K capital purchase notice the motion content; if the video is generic, they assume the product is too. Real B2B video — shot at your facility, on your line, by people who know how the equipment actually works — is the asymmetric advantage technical brands under-invest in.

How we run it

Filmed cinematically. Framed accurately.

Three structural moves on most B2B video engagements.

Real shop floor, real machinery, real operators.

We film at your facility, on your line, with your operators. Stock B-roll — gloved hands holding generic blueprints, hard-hat professionals shaking hands — never makes the cut. Real production motion always does.

Cinematic when the product needs to look heroic.

Slider, jib, gimbal, slow-motion close-ups. Studio motion for product hero films and trade-show loops. The motion craft that makes a $40K piece of equipment feel like the only one worth buying.

Video that respects the spec sheet.

Product demos, brand films, application case studies, dealer training content, trade-show loops, social cuts. Filmed cinematically but framed accurately — the spec sheet should be defensible from the footage.

Built to live across the brand surface area.

Every shoot is planned for multi-format output — the 90-second brand film cuts down to a 30-second paid ad, a 15-second social loop, a six-second pre-roll, and a vertical for LinkedIn / Instagram / TikTok. Shot once, cut everywhere, with proper aspect ratios and resolution from the start.

What we produce.

01

Product demos + how-it-works films

Mid-funnel videos that show the equipment doing its job — on the line, in the field, in the customer's shop. Designed for sales decks, dealer portals, paid media, and the product page.

05

Dealer + partner content

Training videos, co-branded assets, channel-partner enablement. Content your dealers actually use to sell your product.

06

Trade-show production

Booth video loops, demo reel cuts, social-ready short-form. Designed to play in a noisy hall and read in three seconds.

A real story · A mid-size industrial OEM

Photo + video that made the trade-show booth.

A mid-size CNC plasma cutting OEM needed product photography, lifestyle imagery, and motion content for a national trade-show launch and the website rebuild that followed. We shot on their production floor — product hero shots, operator portraits, cutting in motion, drone aerials.

The motion assets carried across the trade-show booth (60-second loop), the new website hero (90-second brand film), paid media (30s + 15s + 6s cuts), the dealer training portal, and the email sequences for the next eighteen months. One shoot, dozens of formats.

How is fractional CMO different from regular consulting?

Consulting is bounded by deliverable — we audit, we recommend, we hand it back. Fractional CMO is bounded by relationship — we own the plan, we sit in your leadership rhythm, we're accountable for the math compounding over quarters. Most of our consulting engagements end up looking like fractional CMO inside ninety days.

How many days a month?

Two days a month for lighter engagements (board reporting, quarterly planning, strategic check-ins). Four days a month for active engagements (strategy + vendor management + audit cycles). We size to the work, not the other way around.

Do you replace our in-house marketing person?

Almost never. We complement them. They run execution, we own strategy. They report to leadership, we coach them through it. The best engagements have a strong in-house operator running the day-to-day with us as the strategic spine they build against.

Will you also run our channels?

If the consulting work surfaces a channel that needs to move and we're the right team to move it, yes — the engagement expands to include execution. About two-thirds of our consulting engagements grow this way over twelve to eighteen months. The other third stay consulting-only because their existing teams are capable; we just give them better strategy to run.

What does "senior" actually mean?

Twenty-plus years of marketing practice, multiple engagements at scale, deep product literacy in industrial / technical / engineered categories. The person on your call has run paid accounts, written copy, sat on dealer-training calls, and presented to a board. Not a generalist account manager. Not a junior strategist with a senior title.

When should we NOT hire a fractional CMO?

If you need execution help more than strategy help, hire a doer first. If you need a single tactical fix (a new website, a campaign, a brand refresh), engage that as a project. Fractional CMO is the right answer when the strategic spine is the gap — and when you're committed to growing something with a senior partner over multiple quarters.
