Yes. We bring professional cinema equipment directly to your business location. This includes:

• Cinema cameras (not iPhone footage)
• Professional lighting equipment
• Audio recording gear
• Gimbals, sliders, and stabilization equipment

We schedule production days in advance, show up on time, and capture everything needed in a single visit (typically 2-4 hours depending on your package).

No studio visits required. We come to you.

We fully manage your social presence. This includes:

• Scheduling posts at optimal times
• Writing captions with brand voice
• Hashtag research and optimization
• Publishing content consistently
• Monitoring comments and engagement
• Responding to inquiries (when needed)

You don't have to log into your account, remember to post, or write captions. We handle the entire process so you can focus on running your business.

Yes. Our Authority and Domination programs include Instagram ad management.

What we handle:

• Geo-targeted campaigns focused on Cleveland-area customers
• Custom audience creation based on demographics, interests, and behaviors
• Ad creative selection and optimization
• Budget allocation and daily monitoring
• A/B testing to improve performance
• Monthly reporting on ad results

What you provide:

• A separate monthly ad budget (typically $500-$2,000/month depending on goals)

Our management fee covers strategy and execution. Your ad budget goes directly to Meta/Instagram to reach customers.

Yes — with one caveat:

Minimum Terms:

• Presence & Authority Programs: 3-month minimum
• Domination Program: 12-month minimum

After the minimum term, you can cancel at the end of any billing cycle without penalty. We don't lock clients into perpetual contracts.

Why minimum terms? Quality growth takes time. We need at least 3 months to build momentum, optimize strategy, and deliver measurable results. Clients who stick with us longer see compounding returns — but we earn your business every month.

Our program pricing includes everything needed to manage your social presence:

• On-location filming with professional equipment
• Video editing and color grading
• Content scheduling and publishing
• Caption writing and hashtag strategy
• Comment monitoring and engagement
• Monthly analytics and reporting
• Strategy guidance (Authority & Domination programs)
• Instagram ad management (Authority & Domination programs)

What's NOT included:

• Your Instagram ad spend budget (separate from our management fee)
• Printed materials or physical marketing assets
• Website design/development
• Management of platforms beyond Instagram (available as add-on)

Here's a realistic timeline based on our client experience:

Month 1:

• First production shoot completed
• Content calendar established
• You'll notice your feed looks dramatically better
• Early engagement increases (likes, comments, shares)

Months 2-3:

• Consistent posting rhythm established
• People start commenting "Found you on Instagram"
• Follower growth accelerates (especially with ads)
• Increased inquiries via DM and profile visits

Months 4-6:

• Sustained growth becomes evident
• Your social presence feels like a competitive advantage
• ROI becomes clearer as more customers attribute discovery to Instagram

Important note: Social media growth compounds over time. The businesses that see the best results commit to consistency for at least 6 months.

We don't make false promises about specific follower counts or revenue numbers — anyone who does is lying.

What we DO guarantee:

• Cinema-quality content that makes your business look premium
• Consistent, professional social presence
• Strategic approach to content and advertising
• Transparent reporting on what's working
• Our full effort to position you as the category leader

What affects results:

• Your market competitiveness
• Your business's reputation and service quality
• Pricing and offers
• Consistency and patience

Social media amplifies what's already there. If you run a great business, we make sure people know about it.
