Our Approach
We’re Simply Media, a video production company based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, operating nationally. We’re not just a team of videographers, but a team of marketers.
Over the past decade, we’ve conducted nearly 1,000 interviews and direct-to-camera messages. What we’ve learned is that there are so many bright, talented, and passionate people in the companies we’ve worked with, but translating that sense of heart and vision on camera is not always natural. As an entrepreneur, small business, nonprofit, or corporate organization, this is not only an inconvenience but a lost opportunity.
That’s where we step in. Having backgrounds in corporate marketing and being experts in our craft, we combine authentic storytelling with marketing principles. This dynamic approach allows us to create an inclusive, conversational, and natural experience, so everyone can show up confidently while conveying their heart, message, and value to the world.
When this is achieved, sharing becomes natural and not rehearsed. Your heart, mission, and product are one. Customers buy into the idea of you, so selling is natural. Trust is established, so you focus on delivering the solution while creating the ideal experience. Now, business is about leveraging your worth, not trying to convince people of it. This is what good video marketing can do for your business, and we want to help you get there.
Our Process
-
Pre-production: A complex process, made simple.
The pre-production phase is our time to turn our initial conversations into a course of action. This can cover anything from message crafting, shot lists, to location scouting, and so much more. We have a range of processes designed to meet you wherever you’re at, so you feel knowledgeable, prepared, and confident before the shoot.
-
Production: A Big day, without the stress.
By the time the shoot day comes around, all your questions have been answered, and you know exactly what to expect. Whether we are telling your brand story, recording client testimonials across the country, or capturing your corporate event - we’re ready to hit the ground running, so you can focus on what matters most.
-
Post-production: Time to sit back and relax.
After the shoot day comes the next phase - post-production. This is where our team gets down to business in turning everything we’ve worked on together into an asset you are proud of. Once your edits are done, we meet with you to discuss feedback and revisions, to ensure you are proud of the end result, and ready to implement.
P.S. Over 90% of our projects are client-approved upon delivery or within a single round of revisions - a testament to our pre-production process and our commitment to understanding your vision. Less back and forth, less headaches, and better results.
FAQ

Video is a tool that works best when implemented strategically, with the big picture in mind. If your business is brand new to the world of video marketing, the first step we’ll work on together is goal identification. For example, are you trying to brand or re-brand your business? How about recruit or retain employees? Or, are you interested in lead nurturing through consumer education pieces? These fundamental questions will dictate what types of videos are most important to create, ensuring that your investment in video is a strong one.
