Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Lee was to devise a series of interview questions that would allow me to showcase Social-Hire.com's expertise and our track record of generating real business wins from social media - but in a way that wouldn't come across as salesy or promotional. Then film me responding to these questions and edit the resulting video into short snippets suitable for use on social media.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

A half dozen short video snippets (45 seconds to 90 seconds) to be created, suitable for use in LinkedIn social media posts. Consulting on the production of these in real time so that the results were suitably upbeat and struck the right tone.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Vermillion Films delivered exactly what was promised, on time and to a very high standard. Would have no hesitation in recommending.

What is the team composition?

I worked with Lee Kemp who was accessible, available and helped me navigate the process.

What challenge were you trying to address with Vermillion Films?

We wanted to raise our profile on LinkedIn with target customers. Additionally, we wanted to make it much easier to post consistent, authentic content on LinkedIn without needing to sacrifice so much time.

SOLUTION

Vermillion Films provides the Content Blitz service. Vermillion Films creates a content engine built around founders and senior leadership. We spend just one hour per month with them on a remote video platform. In that time, they extract sharp, relevant perspectives on our industry for founder-led demand generation.

Vermillion Films provides up to 25 snackable, high-quality videos per month, a thought leadership library, a schedule of value-driven content to feed the social algorithms, a reputation for sector expertise, and a month’s worth of content. The team handles all aspects of the project, including filming, editing, and interviewing. We just post the videos once they’re signed off.

What is the team composition?

We work with two teammates from Vermillion Films. 

How did you come to work with Vermillion Films?

I’ve known Lee (Founder) for a fair few years and worked with him previously on a project. Lee has a very high standard of work, and the Content Blitz service they offer was exactly what we were looking for.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in January 2025, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The quality of the deliverables provided by Vermillion Films has been superb. We’ve seen the speed of delivery, the quality of the final edits, and an increase in LinkedIn engagement. We’re only in month one, so we don’t have specific metrics or numbers that illustrate the increase in LinkedIn engagement. However, we expect the continued quality of output to be excellent.

How did Vermillion Films perform from a project management standpoint?

Vermillion Films’ project management is fantastic and super fast. We primarily communicate via email.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The clear process, openness to feedback, and quality of output are impressive. Additionally, the service itself is perfect for busy founders.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing they can improve on.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I highly recommend working with Vermillion Films.

The primary objective of our initiative was to promote a specific product through an engaging awareness campaign. To achieve this, we developed a series of three commercials, each designed to capture the essence of the product while resonating emotionally with the audience. We strategically focused on incorporating humor to create a memorable and relatable experience, all while maintaining a professional tone that reflects the quality and integrity of the brand. Each commercial features unique scenarios that not only entertain but also highlight the product's key benefits, ensuring that viewers are both informed and amused.

While running the awareness campaign on LinkedIn for two months, we experienced an average increase of 30% in traffic to this product page.

Vermillion assisted us with creating 2 very recognisable, animated video assets to support us with telling the story of our new proposition, and also promoting the benefits of our new membership community.
