309 Productions is a Boston-based video and photography production company known for collaborative storytelling and high-quality visual production. Founded in 2012, the company produces corporate videos, event coverage, marketing videos, and photography for organizations across the Boston area.

Their work focuses on helping brands tell stories through engaging video content, interviews, event coverage, and marketing visuals. Their team emphasizes collaboration and creative storytelling to capture authentic moments that represent a brand’s identity.

However, many companies today require more than individual video projects. Modern marketing requires integrated visual content including photography, social media video, product imagery, brand campaigns, and multi-platform content strategies.

Bernardson offers a broader commercial production model that combines cinematic video production, professional photography, and strategic visual content planning. Instead of producing single assets, Bernardson helps businesses build scalable visual content systems that support marketing campaigns, social media engagement, internal communications, and brand growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Bernardson compare to 309 Productions?

309 Productions offers a range of creative services that include video storytelling, photography, and event production. Their work often focuses on documenting events, producing promotional videos, and capturing visual content that highlights company activities, conferences, and brand initiatives.

Bernardson provides a more integrated commercial production approach that combines cinematic video production with high-end commercial photography and strategic marketing planning. Rather than focusing primarily on event-based content, Bernardson develops visual assets designed specifically for marketing campaigns, advertising, and long-term brand communication.

This approach allows companies to create cohesive visual campaigns that include brand films, commercial photography, website imagery, product visuals, and social media content. By integrating video and photography into a single production workflow, Bernardson helps businesses build a unified visual identity while producing content that supports modern marketing strategies.

Can Bernardson produce photography and video during the same shoot?

Yes. BERNARDSON offers professional corporate headshot sessions and team photography for executives, employees, and leadership teams.

Headshots may be captured in studio environments, office locations, or during company events depending on the desired visual style. Many organizations choose to schedule headshot photography during larger production days when brand photography, workplace imagery, or video interviews are also being filmed. This integrated production approach helps companies maintain consistent visual identity across websites, marketing materials, and internal communications.

What makes Bernardson's multi-platform approach different?

Traditional studios shoot content in one format and expect you to adapt it for different platforms. This leads to cropped Instagram posts, awkward TikTok videos, and underperforming content.

We plan multi-platform optimization from the start. We shoot vertical (9:16 for Instagram Stories/TikTok), square (1:1 for Instagram feed), and widescreen (16:9 for YouTube/LinkedIn) simultaneously during production. Each platform gets content designed specifically for its format and audience behavior, typically increasing engagement rates 40-60% compared to repurposed content.
