You’ve got questions,

we’ve got answers:

Where Do I Start?

Great question! Starting your journey with us is simple. First, we’ll schedule a discovery call to understand your goals, target audience, and brand identity. From there, we’ll help you map out a content strategy that fits your needs, whether it’s photography, videography, or both. Just reach out to us, and we’ll guide you every step of the way.

How We Help: We focus on your brand’s unique story, ensuring that every piece of content we create is aligned with your overall vision.

What is Content Marketing?

Content marketing is about creating and sharing valuable content that connects with your audience across various channels. It goes beyond just pretty pictures or videos—it’s about storytelling that resonates with your target market, builds brand awareness, and drives action. This includes everything from compelling visual content, like photos and videos, to well-crafted blog posts and engaging email campaigns. Each piece of content works together to guide your audience through their journey, ensuring your message is consistent, engaging, and strategically aligned with your goals.

Our Approach: We craft visual content tailored to each stage of your customer’s journey, from awareness to decision-making. Whether it’s brand films, engaging social media clips, or high-end product photography, each piece is strategically designed to resonate with your audience, drive engagement, and guide them toward meaningful conversions.

What Services Do You Provide?

We offer a full range of content creation services, including:

  • Complete visual content marketing strategy and consultation
  • Commercial photography
  • Videography for promotional videos, events, and brand storytelling
  • Product photography
  • Professional headshots
  • Preferred Partner Program for ongoing retainer clients.

Bonus Tip: We tailor all our services to your specific industry needs, whether you’re in retail, tech, commercial real estate, or beyond.

Can’t I Do This Myself?

Absolutely! We encourage our clients to familiarize themselves with the content creation process, especially when starting on a limited budget. Understanding the basics of creating content is a great way to connect with your audience and begin building your brand. We believe in empowering businesses to tell their own stories, and we’re happy to share tips and resources to help you get started. We also offer consulting services to help in-house teams build a strong foundation for their business’s content marketing efforts.

When you’re ready for a professional touch, we’re here to help. With over a decade of experience crafting compelling imagery and messaging, we know what it takes to turn ideas into results-driven content. Whether it’s photography, videography, or strategic consulting, we help businesses engage their audience with impactful visuals.

How Much Do You Charge?

Pricing depends on the scope of the project, but we believe in transparency. We tailor our pricing based on your needs, whether it’s a one-off shoot or ongoing content creation. Typically, our projects range from $2,500 to $5,000 to $10,000. Reach out for a custom quote, and we’ll work together to find a solution that fits your budget.

Do You Work with Clients Outside of Colorado?

Yes, while we are a production company based in Denver, Colorado, we frequently travel for projects across the United States, including the Southwest and Midwest. We are always open to working with clients nationally and are equipped to provide the same high-quality services, no matter the location.

Do You Offer Revisions?

Unlike most production companies, we love revisions! We believe that refining and iterating content is key to delivering messaging that truly resonates with your audience. Depending on the format and goals of your campaign, revisions give us the opportunity to adjust and optimize for the best possible performance. That said, we do include a set number of revisions within the project scope to ensure we stay aligned with timelines and budgets, while still delivering content that meets or exceeds your expectations.

How Do I Know What Type of Content Is Best for My Business?

We start by identifying where your audience is most active, whether it’s on social media platforms like Instagram or LinkedIn, through email campaigns, or across other digital channels. Understanding where your customers engage the most helps shape the type of content we recommend—whether it’s short-form videos, engaging visuals, blog posts, or more in-depth case studies.

For instance, if your audience is highly engaged on Instagram, we may suggest visually-driven content such as eye-catching photography or short, impactful videos. On LinkedIn, we might focus more on professional, thought-leadership pieces, including interviews or in-depth videos. Our goal is to tailor the content format to the platform that will generate the most engagement and drive results, ensuring that your message resonates with the right people in the right places.

How Long Does a Typical Project Take?

Team headshots are typically delivered within 1-2 weeks, depending on the number of employees and any requested edits. For larger-scale campaigns, which involve pre-production, production, and post-production phases, the timeline usually spans 4-6 weeks.

We also love building long-term relationships with our clients and offer our Preferred Partner Program, which includes a monthly retainer for ongoing deliverables, a discount on production, and priority scheduling. This program is perfect for businesses that need consistent content creation and prefer the flexibility of having a dedicated creative partner.

Why Should I Hire Your Company?

At Curtis Visual Works, we bring more than just technical expertise. We bring passion, creativity, and a deep understanding of content strategy. We don’t just deliver photos or videos; we deliver content that drives engagement and helps your business grow. We take pride in building relationships with our clients, understanding their needs, and ensuring that every project exceeds expectations.

What Don’t You Do?

While we specialize in creating high-quality commercial photography and videography, there are a few areas we don’t cover. We focus exclusively on helping businesses tell their brand stories, so we don’t take on personal events like weddings, birthdays, or non-commercial real estate projects. Our expertise lies in content that drives business growth, whether it’s through corporate headshots, product photography, promotional videos, or full-scale content strategies. If you’re looking for commercial content that connects with your audience, we’re here to help!
