Are you getting ready to launch a crowdfunding campaign? Do you have an existing campaign that needs more traction? Or maybe your product has already launched and you need more exposure and ultimately sales. We can help!
Working with clients to produce a weekly show highlighting the most unique crowdfunding projects on the internet, we recognized that most of these projects were being launched by first-time entrepreneurs.
These designers, inventors, and savvy-minded folks were so busy running the day-to-day operations of their soon-to-be-launched products they needed a turn-key solution to handle the media requests and create the essential video, photo, and graphic packages needed for their campaigns.
To help with these crowd funding campaigns Storm The Castle Media offers support services before, during, and after a campaign launches. Campaign leaders can pick and choose what they need to round out their existing team or bundle a full suite of services, then we get to learn the product as well as the people who invented it so we can explain why it’s amazing.
Our services are organized around the life cycle of a crowdfunding campaign: Pre-launch, launch, and post-funding activities.
Product Video: You have a COOL product, so show the world how cool it is! Don’t skimp on the video…this is crucial! Hook your viewer, show them why your product is amazing, then tell ‘em what they need to do! We combine video from the studio and the streets to show your product in the best possible way!
Product Photos: You need to have beautiful product shots (your amazing creation on a plain background) and lifestyle shots (your product in the real world). The people buying your product and the media covering it want to see the product on it’s own and how it works, so we get the best photos of both!
Publicity: We invite you to tap into our extensive list of tech and media contacts who are looking for products just like yours. We know the unique needs for web, print, and broadcast journalists because our team is made up of people who work in those industries! We can help influencers discover your product and build excitement before your crowdfunding campaign even goes live!
Social: Up to now you’ve probably managed your own social media and likely done a great job! But once a crowdfunding campaign starts your priorities will shift. You won’t think “how do I craft a really funny tweet,” or “which filter really makes this shot look best?” Instead that soon becomes “The manufacturer needs WHAT!?!? I don’t have time for this!” Bring us in early so we can develop a social plan for you to follow or one that we can roll out for you!
Media Management: Your campaign is live and now everyone wants a piece of you! Suddenly you’re getting emails from people you’ve never heard of asking for images, backgrounders, b-roll, and more all in specific formats that sound very much like those people are making them up. This is where we can save the day. Literally. Instead of you spending your day figuring out what these people need and how you’re going to get it to them all before their insanely short deadline, you spend your day on your actual work! We’ve got you covered.
Help & How-To: YES! You’ve done it! You’ve hit your funding goal and your dream company is now in business! Thousands of people will be receiving your product in the next few weeks and months! And they’re all going to be asking you the exact same questions! We’ll help you anticipate the FAQs your customers will have when they get their hands on your new product. We can help with step-by-step videos showing your customers the basics. We can take that same information and put it in simple language for your website or even a user manual. We can help you generate great articles for your site, social media, and blog showing customers great ways to use their brand new purchase!
Continued Support: Video production, photos, publicity, media management, social planning, and writing are just a few of the services you may still want even after the campaign is done. We get it. After weeks of working together you don’t want this great relationship to end. We’ll look at your business plan moving forward and see how our content generation and publicity support could fit into your future goals.
