How does it work?

Consistent content. Measurable results. Smarter growth.

Predicting which videos will perform best is never an exact science. Rather than committing your budget to a single piece of content, we produce a wide range of high-quality videos designed for the platforms your audience uses most.

By monitoring engagement and performance, we identify which content resonates with your audience. The strongest-performing videos can then be supported with targeted advertising, while the insights gained inform the strategy for your next production. From filming and editing to performance analysis and future content planning, we manage the entire process in-house. You work directly with us throughout, ensuring consistency, quality, and a clear understanding of your brand.

01

Plan Your Monthly Content

Before each shoot we’ll have a brief planning call to discuss your priorities, upcoming promotions, product launches, events, giveaways, or advertising campaigns. We’ll then develop a tailored filming plan to ensure your content aligns with your business goals.

02

Shoot on Location

We bring all the necessary equipment, including cinema cameras, lighting, and audio, so you can focus on running your business. We capture your key offerings, products, team, venue, and the details that matter most to your customers, creating versatile content tailored to your marketing objectives.

03

Editing & Delivery

6–20 professionally edited vertical videos, depending on your selected package, within ten working days of filming. Captions are available on request. Higher-tier packages also include landscape-format films, ideal for your website, YouTube channel, and other digital platforms.

04

Consistent Content, All Month

Your content is prepared for distribution across Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. We can schedule and publish your videos on your behalf or provide them alongside a simple content calendar for you to manage. Every video is submitted for your approval before publication, ensuring your brand maintains its voice and standards.

05

Refine, Optimise & Grow

Every post provides valuable insight into your audience. Each month, we review your content’s performance, identify the strongest-performing videos, and recommend targeted advertising investment. These insights inform the strategy for your next shoot, allowing us to continuously refine your content and support your business growth.

Based in Hillcrest, KwaZulu-Natal, Holmes Media Group specialises in professional video production for brands, businesses, venues, and events. Our approach combines cinematic production with a data-informed understanding of what captures an audience’s attention.

Before entering video production, our founder built a Facebook page from the ground up to over three million followers and more than one billion views through organic reach alone. This experience, combined with over eight years of editing expertise, informs our approach to creating engaging, purposeful content.

With a background in music production from the Academy of Sound Engineering in Johannesburg, we place a strong emphasis on storytelling, pacing, and sound design. Our portfolio includes brand videos, broadcast cooking series, festival aftermovies, property films, and campaign work for Amazon and East Coast Radio.

A complete, in-house production process.

Every project is filmed and edited by our founder, Dane, from start to finish. This ensures creative consistency, direct communication, and careful attention to detail throughout the production process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know Before Getting Started

Do I need to appear on camera?

Not at all. We create a wide range of content focused on your products, premises, team, and day-to-day operations. If you or your team would like to appear on camera, we’ll guide you through the process and ensure the final edit presents you professionally.

Are captions included?

Captions can be included upon request. As many users watch social media videos without sound, captions can help make your content more accessible and engaging. We can also deliver a combination of captioned and uncaptioned videos to suit your preferences.

What do you need from us on the day of filming?

We’ll need access to your premises and a designated contact who can answer any initial questions. Before the shoot, we’ll arrange a brief planning call to establish your priorities and finalise the shot list. This allows us to work efficiently while minimising disruption to your business.

Who owns the finished videos?

You do. You retain the right to use your completed videos across your social media platforms and other digital channels. We also securely retain the raw footage for 12 months, should you wish to commission additional edits or content from the original material.

What is the turnaround time?

For complimentary trial shoots, your first video will be delivered within 72 hours, with all three videos delivered within seven days. For monthly packages, your videos will be delivered within 10 working days of filming, in accordance with your selected package. Where scheduling and publishing are included, content will be distributed according to an agreed content calendar.

Do you manage paid advertising?

We can help identify your strongest-performing videos and recommend which content may benefit from paid promotion. For packages that include advertising management, we’ll manage the promotion of selected videos using your allocated advertising budget. Advertising spend is separate from your monthly package fee.

Where do you operate?

We’re based in Hillcrest, KwaZulu-Natal, and primarily serve businesses in Hillcrest, Kloof, and the Upper Highway area. We also work with clients in Durban, Umhlanga, and along the North Coast to Ballito. Projects in Pietermaritzburg and the Midlands can be arranged upon request.
