Frequently Asked Questions

How does Bernardson compare to RedefineU?

RedefineU focuses primarily on on-demand video production, photography, and social media content packages designed for businesses that need frequent digital content. Their services often emphasize quick-turnaround content creation for platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and other social media channels. Many of these packages are structured to help companies produce a steady stream of online content that supports ongoing social media marketing efforts.

Bernardson provides broader visual production services that combine cinematic video production with professional commercial photography and marketing campaign development. Rather than focusing primarily on high-volume social media content, Bernardson often works with businesses to produce more comprehensive visual campaigns designed for brand storytelling, advertising, and digital marketing strategies.

 

Does Bernardson produce marketing videos?

Yes. Bernardson produces a wide range of marketing videos designed to support brand communication and business growth. These productions may include brand storytelling films that communicate a company’s mission and values, promotional videos that highlight products or services, corporate videos that introduce a company’s culture and expertise, and marketing campaigns created for digital platforms.

Marketing video productions often combine interviews, cinematic visuals, product demonstrations, and narrative storytelling techniques to create engaging content that connects with audiences. Businesses frequently use these videos on company websites, advertising campaigns, social media platforms, and marketing presentations.

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.
