Client Stories

The most convincing voice in your marketing isn't yours. It's theirs.

We capture your clients' real stories β€” the kind that make a prospect lean in and think "that's exactly where I am" β€” and turn them into films you'll be proud to put on your homepage. You give us a list of names. We handle everything else.

Press play. This is the difference between a testimonial and a story.

Let's Be Honest

You already know testimonials work. So why don't you have more of them?

You've seen it happen. A prospect is on the fence. Then they watch a client talk about the transformation you helped them achieve β€” and suddenly, the deal closes itself.

We buy on emotion and justify with logic. And nothing delivers both like hearing a real person describe how you changed their business (or their life).

The problem isn't that your clients wouldn't do it. Most of them would love to. The problem is everything that has to happen between "we should really get some testimonials" and actually having them.

Sound familiar? β€” the testimonial graveyard

Every one of these kills the momentum. And before you know it, another quarter goes by without a single new story captured.

"I don't know who to ask."

You have happy clients everywhere, but choosing who and reaching out feels like one more thing on the pile.

"I can't coordinate schedules."

Trying to wrangle your client's availability, a videographer, and a location? Forget it.

"I don't know what to ask them."

You don't want a generic "they're great to work with" soundbite. But scripting an interview feels weird.

"I don't have time to manage production."

Even if you filmed something, who's editing it, cutting it for social, writing the copy, and posting it?

Here's the part most people miss

A testimonial proves you exist. A story makes someone act.

Most testimonials are forgettable. "They were great to work with." "Highly recommend." The kind nobody watches to the end and nobody remembers.

That's not what we make.

We dig for the real story β€” where your client was stuck before they found you, what changed, and what it actually feels like on the other side. No scripts. No paid actors. No corporate gloss that sands off everything human.

Real people. Beautifully produced. Never fake.

Because the thing that closes a deal was never a polished performance. It's one real person sounding exactly like the person watching.

How It Works

Fully turnkey. Built on your blueprint.

You stay focused on running your business. We build your library of proof.

1

We start with a Storyline Workshop

Before we point a camera, we sit down with your team to map the soul of your brand β€” your message, your industry, your ideal client, and exactly what a powerful story sounds like for you. We'll even help you decide which of your clients have the stories worth telling. Everything we capture from here is built from that blueprint, so nothing is ever generic.

2

You share the names

Give us your list of happy clients. Any context on why they're a great story is a bonus. If not, we'll figure it out. That's the entirety of your job.

3

We do the outreach

We reach out on your behalf, schedule the interviews, and send each person a prep guide so they show up comfortable and ready. No awkwardness. No pressure.

4

We capture the story

Using our proven framework, we guide the conversation through the before, the turning point, and the results. No stiff scripts β€” a real conversation that pulls out something worth watching.

5

You get ready-to-use content

Polished video, social cuts, written testimonial, raw footage. Everything ready to post, embed, and share.

Every Project Includes

A full content drop, not just a video

Every story comes back as a complete set of assets β€” ready to post, embed, and share the moment it lands in your inbox. This is the baseline. Higher tiers build on it with deeper production and a bigger story.

01

The Story

1–2 minute polished story with branding, lower thirds, and music.

02

Vertical Shorts

Optimized for Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.

03

Horizontal Shorts

Optimized for LinkedIn, YouTube, and website embeds.

04

Written Story

Pulled from interview highlights for your site, proposals, or emails.

05

Raw Footage

Full unedited footage for your own future use.

And when you're ready to share them…

We also offer done-for-you distribution β€” from YouTube channel setup and optimization to a custom-branded showcase page where all your stories live in one beautiful, shareable destination. Think Netflix, but for your client success stories. We'll talk through what makes sense during our call.

Then We Keep It Growing

One unforgettable story changes a homepage. A growing library changes a business.

Your signature story does the heavy lifting up front β€” the film that lives on your homepage and shows up in every pitch.

But the real shift happens after. A steady rhythm of new stories keeps you top of mind with your happiest clients, keeps your social feed full of fresh proof, and makes every next sale a little easier than the last.

And because we did the deep work in your workshop, every new story stays true to your brand without reinventing anything. We already know what gold sounds like for you.

Three Ways to Tell the Story

Pick the level that fits the moment

Every Signature and Studio engagement starts with a Storyline Workshop so every story is strategic from the first question. You provide the names. We handle the rest.

Signature Story

Cinematic / On-Location

This isn't a testimonial β€” it's a film. Environmental b-roll shot on location, an elevated production style, and a story with real momentum built around it. You get everything in the baseline content drop, plus a longer hero film (think 2–4 minutes) made to carry the room. And when a story calls for more than one voice, we'll weave them together.

For your homepage, your fundraising events, your sales presentations β€” anywhere your brand needs to make an unforgettable impression.

Typically $10,000–$12,000 depending on location, number of voices, and deliverables. Every Signature engagement begins with a Storyline Workshop to map the story before we film.

Most Popular for Ongoing Libraries

Studio Story

In-Studio

A professional in-person interview with studio lighting, quality audio, and studio b-roll. It looks remarkably elevated β€” and because it's at our studio in Orion, it's the most cost-effective way to build a real library, especially when we batch a few interviews in a single day (which lowers the per-interview cost).

For most clients building an ongoing library, this is the sweet spot.

Starting at $2,500 per story Let's talk β†’

Remote Story

Virtual

The fastest way to get started. We interview your clients over Zoom or Riverside β€” no travel, no studio visit. Professional editing, branded graphics, and short-form cuts included. Perfect for clients anywhere in the country, or for keeping your library fresh between bigger productions.

Starting at $1,500 Let's talk β†’

Need one story or twenty? Every tier works as a single project, a multi-interview package, or an ongoing subscription. Not sure which is right? We'll figure it out together on the call.
