Questions Before We Get Started?
Every engagement is a little different, but these are some of the questions that come up most often before businesses work with us.
What types of businesses do you work with?
We primarily work with service-based businesses where trust, reputation, and expertise influence the buying decision. This includes contractors and home-service companies, construction firms, dentists and healthcare providers, real estate professionals, professional services, hospitality businesses, and other established local or regional companies.
Are you a video production company or a marketing company?
Both capabilities exist under the same strategy. Daniel Oni Media Company began in professional production and has expanded into authority-building content and customer acquisition. Some clients hire us solely to create professional video or photography. Others work with us on ongoing content, strategy, or paid acquisition.
Do I need to know what kind of content I want before contacting you?
No. In many cases, determining the right content is part of the strategy. We start with what you want the business to accomplish and work backward from there instead of assuming that a particular type of video is automatically the answer.
Do I need to be comfortable on camera?
No. Daniel provides on-camera direction and coaching throughout production. We can help with talking points, delivery, pacing, body language, and multiple takes until the content feels natural. There are also content formats that do not require you to be the primary person on camera.
Do you only work with clients in Sacramento?
No. Daniel Oni Media Company is based in the Sacramento area and regularly serves businesses throughout Northern California. Production outside the region and certain strategy, editing, and advertising services can also be supported depending on the project.
How much does it cost to work with you?
Pricing depends on the scope. A standalone production project is priced differently from an ongoing content system or a campaign that includes paid acquisition. After we understand the objective, required production, deliverables, timeline, and level of ongoing support, we can recommend an appropriate scope and investment.
Do you offer ongoing monthly content?
Yes. For businesses that need consistent content, monthly engagements can include recurring filming sessions, strategy, editing, short-form and long-form content, and other support based on the needs of the business.
Do you run Facebook and Instagram ads?
Yes. For appropriate clients, paid acquisition can be incorporated into the engagement. Campaign execution may include Daniel and trusted paid-media specialists working together depending on the scope. Advertising spend is generally separate from production and management fees.
Can I hire you only to film while my team handles the editing?
Yes. Production-only engagements are available when your internal team or another agency already has post-production and distribution covered. The scope and file-delivery requirements are established before filming.
How long does production and editing take?
Turnaround depends on the volume and complexity of the project. A straightforward social-content shoot will have a different timeline from a larger commercial production or ongoing monthly engagement. Your expected production and delivery schedule will be established before the project begins.
How should I prepare for a filming session?
You will receive direction before filming regarding messaging, wardrobe, locations, scheduling, and anything else needed for the shoot. You do not need to memorize an entire script unless that format specifically makes sense for the project.
Do you work with a team?
Yes. Daniel leads strategy, creative direction, production, and the client experience while working with a trusted network of editors, production specialists, and paid-media partners depending on the requirements of the project. This allows each engagement to use the right expertise without creating unnecessary overhead.
What happens after I contact you?
We start by learning what your business is trying to accomplish, what you are currently doing, and where the biggest opportunity or bottleneck appears to be. If the fit makes sense, we determine the appropriate scope and next steps from there.
