Frequently Asked Questions
How is BERNARDSON different from McIntosh Bros Productions?
McIntosh Bros Productions is widely recognized for cinematic video production, film projects, and entertainment-focused storytelling. Their work often centers on narrative filmmaking, creative film production, and visually driven projects within the entertainment industry. This makes them a strong option for clients seeking film-style productions or entertainment-based content.
BERNARDSON operates with a different focus—providing commercial photography, modern video production, and marketing-driven content specifically designed for business growth and advertising. Rather than concentrating on entertainment or film projects, BERNARDSON works with brands and companies to develop strategic visual campaigns that support product launches, digital marketing, recruitment, and long-term brand positioning.
Can BERNARDSON create social media content?
Yes. BERNARDSON produces ongoing social media photo and video content optimized for platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, and other digital channels. This includes short-form videos, promotional clips, branded visuals, and advertising content designed to capture attention and drive engagement.
Content is tailored to each platform’s format and audience behavior to ensure performance and consistency. Social media production can be part of a larger campaign or structured as an ongoing monthly partnership to maintain regular content output and brand visibility.
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.
