High Quality Video Production In Buffalo, NY

When Bean Media Productions began over 20 years ago, the world of video production was incredibly different from what it is today. Even 5 years ago, video production and strategy have evolved immensely. That being said, having professional video is more essential than ever for companies of all sizes.

Very early, we saw the potential of YouTube and web video as a way to reach potential customers for our clients. But with social media’s ever-growing popularity and the short-form video revolution. Our video production continues to evolve to meet the ever-changing media landscape.

Don’t Just Make a Video. Build a Content Library.

We don’t aim to just construct one video. If we are interviewing you, filming your business, or message, recording a process, or photographing a location, we take those elements and create an entire library.

A single shoot can become a core brand video, social media clips, behind-the-scenes content, educational videos, website content, promotional material, and more.

Instead of letting valuable footage sit unused, we revisit your content library and find new creative ways to put it to work. This enhances more value from the time, planning, and investment that went into your production.

Video Optimization

With today’s video landscape, even the best videos can be buried under mountains of content if they remain unoptimized. Using many of the techniques of Search Engine Optimization, Video SEO has been a pillar of Bean Media’s success over the years. We take great effort in ensuring your video is not only produced but also discovered. All this while providing a solid addition to your organic traffic and SEO.

Video Animation

With changes to how your consumer interacts with media, specifically the amount of time spent on mobile devices and social media, attention spans aren’t what they used to be. Crafting quick messages using text and subtitles, graphics, and animation can get your point across quickly and provide subliminal reminders of who you are to your targeted consumer.

Where Do You Want Your Message to Go?

These are the most important questions for us. We can craft a video program that is best suited for your marketing needs and individual goals. Using both organic and paid concepts, Bean Media Productions can custom-tailor a targeting strategy to get the right eyeballs on your video.

If you’re interested in talking about a video production project, or would like to learn more about how we can help you use existing video to promote your business, just give us a call at the office, or reach out via Bean Media Productions’ contact form!

Survive & Advance | Buffalo Business Bands Together

by Bean Media | Dec 16, 2020 | Advertising

The COVID-19 pandemic has dominated much of our lives here in Western New York throughout 2020. It is easy to scroll through the news and find a litany of things that perk up the collective seasonal depression, but more prudent, are the stories of our resiliency and love for our communities throughout Greater Western New York.

Buy Black Buffalo

Small businesses across WNY have banded together in many ways to stay open throughout this difficult time. “Buy Black Buffalo”, a new community initiative with the full support of Mayor Byron Brown has hit the ground running. During this holiday season, where most everyone is shopping for gifts and supplies for the holidays, supporting local Black businesses is a perfect way to keep your hard earned, and in my case, stretched-tissue-paper-thin, money within our community.

Instead of tapping the Amazon app on your phone, click here to find what you need and in doing so, support local black-owned businesses to keep our economy running and money earned in Buffalo, in Buffalo. Mayor Brown said

“…I invite residents and visitors to experience some of Buffalo’s best retail, professional services, restaurants and cultural spaces owned by Black entrepreneurs”

Times Are Tough

When the pandemic started and then began to take hold of the country, the US Senate signed the CARES act to help bail out unemployed individuals with extra weekly unemployment benefits, and PPP loans to help small businesses with payroll and other expenses. The problem that remained even with these initiatives, was that most small businesses, ones that have ten or fewer employees, were not eligible or did not benefit from these programs. To keep hundreds of small businesses afloat in Western New York alone, more needed to be done.

A Helping Hand From the Gridiron

The financial strain has its grip on nearly everyone, but there are organizations and people in our community that, in their positions, have found it their responsibility to take care of their neighbors and demonstrate what can be done with some generosity and ingenuity.

Josh Norman of the Buffalo Bills has recently donated $25,000 of his own money to provide grants of $2,500 to small businesses in Buffalo called Buffalo Business Blitz.

Norman teamed up with the City of Buffalo to celebrate local small businesses and offer a lifeline to them in a grave time of need. Norman’s Starz24 Foundation centers around youth programs to enrich the lives of children in Buffalo through education and connection with their communities. Norman is calling on philanthropists and business leaders to donate and support local businesses through his organization Buffalo Blitz Starz24.

Believe In What Got You Here

Despite the struggle to survive, there has been a surge in new small businesses amidst the pandemic. According to the US census bureau, there has been “43.3 percent [increase] over the same period in 2019.” However, according to the New York Times, it is uncertain how much these numbers trade off with the closing of businesses, considering,

“the fact that about 28.8 percent of small businesses were closed for good as of mid-November, compared with the start of the year.”

The days of borrowing a cup of sugar from your neighbor are not over. It’s a trite metaphor, but this is exactly the type of community that has allowed businesses to thrive through difficult times in Western New York. Buffalo is a “small town” and word travels fast.

In This Together

The world of business is competitive to the point of being cut-throat, but each business is different from the next. Collaborating the skillsets of multiple businesses raises awareness and improves the overall public function of business. What we do at Bean Media Productions is exactly that. We work with many small to medium sized businesses, but we also ARE ONE.

“We know full well what it takes to make it through a pandemic and we are damn proud of what both our team, and our clients were able to do to come together and endure such a tremendously challenging time.”
