Process · How it works

A retainer that runs on rhythm + efficiency.

  1. 01

    Pre-production strategy call

    This happens first. We align on goals, priorities, upcoming campaigns, needed assets, shot list, and overall creative direction before any planning begins.

  2. 02

    Pre-production planning

    After the strategy call, we plan the shoot for maximum efficiency — so production time is used intentionally and you walk away with the strongest possible asset library from the day.

  3. 03

    Produce the assets

    Chelsea captures strategic photo and video content during the scheduled production window.

  4. 04

    Deliver with usage rights

    You receive high-resolution images and vertical video assets ready for social, web, email, digital marketing, and print collateral.
