East Coast Content has built a reputation in Boston as a video production company focused on helping businesses create engaging marketing videos. Founded in 2015 by Pat Haggan, the company provides streamlined production services for brands looking to improve their digital presence through video marketing.

Their services include brand videos, testimonial videos, social media videos, hiring videos, and training videos designed to help businesses attract customers and grow online visibility.

While marketing video production is an essential part of modern branding, many organizations today require a broader content production strategy that includes video, photography, and multi-platform content designed for campaigns, advertising, and long-term brand storytelling.

This integrated workflow allows businesses to produce cohesive visual assets for websites, social media campaigns, advertising, and digital marketing platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Bernardson compare to East Coast Content?

East Coast Content primarily focuses on marketing video production and streamlined content creation for businesses. Their work often emphasizes efficient video production workflows designed to help companies generate marketing videos quickly for digital platforms, advertising campaigns, and online communication.

Bernardson offers a broader visual production approach that extends beyond video alone. In addition to producing marketing and corporate video content, Bernardson also provides high-end commercial photography and strategic visual content designed for modern marketing campaigns. This allows businesses to create a complete library of visual assets that can support brand communication across multiple platforms.

Can Bernardson produce photography as well as video?

Yes. Bernardson frequently produces both commercial photography and video during the same production schedule. This integrated workflow allows businesses to capture a wide range of visual assets while maintaining a consistent creative style across all marketing materials.

For example, during a single production day a company may film a marketing video while also capturing website imagery, executive portraits, product photography, and social media visuals. Producing both formats together reduces production complexity and helps businesses build a comprehensive visual content library that can be used across multiple marketing channels.

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.
