Video Production Services
ReelSmart is full-service video production company and video advertising agency based in NYC and Seattle. We help you breeze your way to the top of the video production and marketing learning curve with smarter content that delivers measurable results for your brand campaigns.
What makes our services unique? While in the past, businesses would hire an ad agency to develop the creative for a video ad campaign, and the agency would in turn hire a third-party production company to shoot and edit the ads, ReelSmart brings together the best of both worlds under one roof. Like a traditional ad agency, we’ll help you develop a vision and plan for your video marketing campaign, fine tuned to your objectives. Whether you need a brand video, event video, corporate interview video, social media content, testimonials, TV or OTT ad spot, our team will bring their marketing expertise to the table to conceive, script, storyboard, and fully scope out a creative solution to meet your objectives and connect with your audience.
We then transition seamlessly into the production process with our creative director steering the process from start to finish.
Our team of experienced video, TV and film industry professionals have you covered with all of the core services you’d expect from a top video production company and post-production house: casting, talent prep, art direction, locations, permitting, filming, direction, coloring, editing, motion graphics, VFX, and more.
Video Marketing Strategy
The most effective video marketing projects start with a solid strategy. We walk you through the four fundamentals of strategy: what it’s for (S.M.A.R.T. objectives), who it’s for (audience personas), how they’ll see it (distribution and promo) and how to track results (KPIs).

Keeping your strategic objectives in mind, we help you develop the creative vision for telling your stories most effectively and engagingly to your video audience.
