FAQs: Working with BearJam

What does a video production partner do for a media owner?

A production partner helps you turn an advertiser’s brief into finished films. We can support planning, contributor preparation, coordination, filming, editing and motion graphics. We’ll agree who does what with your team at the start, so you’ve got the right support at every stage.

Which media owners has BearJam worked with?

We’ve produced branded content with CNBC, NBCUniversal, Custom Content from WSJ and BBC StoryWorks, including work for UBS, Qatar Tourism, Invest Qatar and the UK Cabinet Office. You can see some of it in the selected work above.

Can you work alongside our own producers and editorial team?

Yes, and it’s how we like to work. You keep the client relationship, and we agree up front how we’ll support production, including who talks to the client and how feedback flows. That might mean supporting your producers, working alongside your editorial leads, or taking on production and post-production around a concept you’ve already developed.

Can you handle international filming?

Yes. Our shoots have taken us to the USA, Canada, Hong Kong, Qatar and all over Europe. We work with local crews, producers and fixers around the world, so depending on the brief we can fly out a full crew or send a director to work with a trusted local team. Either way, we plan the travel, logistics and schedule around what the story needs.

Can you help before a branded content project is sold?

Yes. We’re happy to help you think through the production approach, indicative budget and schedule while a pitch is taking shape. We’ll agree what that support looks like with you, so the idea has a practical route to production once it’s sold.

How much does branded content production cost?

It depends on the number of films, locations, crew, contributor access, graphics and delivery formats. Share your brief and budget range and we’ll come back with an approach and a tailored estimate. If the scope changes along the way, we’ll talk through what that means for costs before going ahead.

How long does a production take?

It depends on contributor availability, travel, creative complexity and approval stages. Let us know your delivery date when you brief us and we’ll work out a realistic schedule together, with time built in for feedback and final delivery.

Can you deliver social cutdowns and different formats?

Yes. We can plan the main film and supporting edits together, including social cutdowns and different aspect ratios. Our Uncovering Qatar work, for example, included a 30-second hero film and a 15-second social teaser. Agreeing formats early means we capture and finish exactly the right material.

Do you produce podcasts and video podcasts?

Yes. We produce audio and video podcasts from start to finish, from shaping the format and preparing guests to filming, editing and delivery. We can record in a studio, on location or with hosts and guests in different cities, working to your editorial standards and the advertiser’s approved talking points. We’ll also plan short clips for social from the start, so one recording gives you plenty to share.
