Let’s talk about a "tough love" policy we’ve started at Optimised Marketing.
It might be a bit of an unpopular opinion, but we’ve recently started asking for professional photography and video assets before we sign on any new project clients.
Yes, we’ve actually said "not yet" to a few potential clients because of it. I know that sounds bold, but here’s the truth: whether we’re building your Google Ads, refreshing your website, or managing your socials, the quality of your photos and videos is the "make or break" factor.
Why we’re being so picky:
You can’t out-market a blurry photo. You can have the best strategy in the world, but if the visuals don't look professional, people won't click. It's that simple.
One shoot, endless uses. Professional assets are "evergreen." You can use them for print, your website, ads, and months of social media. It’s an investment that keeps giving.
Your budget deserves it. We hate seeing clients spend hard-earned money on ads that don't convert because the imagery doesn't build trust.
We aren’t photographers, but we know some "magic" makers.
At Optimised Marketing, our focus is on the strategy and the growth. We don't do the filming or photography ourselves, but we’ve built an amazing relationship with the team at Fifth Castle Media. They do incredible work that ensures the "engine" we build for you actually has the high-grade fuel it needs to run.
We don't do this to be difficult. We do it because we want your marketing to actually work.
Quality in = Results out. ---
