WHAT EXACTLY IS A VIDEO RETAINER?
A video retainer is an ongoing service agreement where your Montana business pays a predictable, fixed monthly fee to Big Cedar Media in exchange for a guaranteed volume of creative video work.
Benefits of a Video Production
Retainer for Montana Businesses
A video retainer transforms your relationship with video content from a chaotic, costly scramble into a smooth, strategic process:
Financial Predictability: You lock in a consistent monthly price, eliminating the surprise costs of one-off projects and making budgeting simple.
Built-in Efficiency (Saves Time & Money): Because Seth at BCM becomes an extension of your team, he learns your brand guidelines, messaging, and products and works hand in hand with your marketing team.
Consistent Content Flow: Stop letting your social feeds, website, and YouTube Channel go stale. A retainer guarantees a steady, predictable stream of fresh, professional content.
Strategic Planning: Instead of reacting to immediate needs, Seth can work with your marketing team to plan your video content months in advance, aligning perfectly with product launches, seasonal campaigns, and long-term business goals.
Priority Service: As a retainer client, you receive priority scheduling and quicker turnaround times, ensuring your urgent content needs are always addressed first.
In short, a video retainer is consistent video content without hiring a full-time team —at a fraction of the cost and with greater creative video storyteller expertise.
