OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Video Caddy to accomplish?

• At One Day Video (ODV), we specialize in high-impact hero marketing campaigns. However, modern campaigns demand an extensive quantity of social assets across varying platforms and aspect ratios (9:16 for TikTok/Reels, 1:1 for Instagram, and 16:9 for YouTube), along with various short-form ad cutdowns (6s, 15s, 30s hooks). We hired Video Caddy to take on the post-production heavy lifting for these derivative assets so our in-house creative team could stay focused on high-level concepting, principal filming, and primary creative cuts.

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

Our internal team handles filming and produces the hero creative edit. Once approved, we hand over the master assets and footage to Video Caddy. Their team handles:

Re-framing footage into multiple aspect ratios (9:16, 1:1, 16:9).

Cutting down main videos into short-form ad hooks (6-second, 15-second, and 30-second versions).

Applying localized styling, graphic overlays, and platform-specific formatting.

Delivering 10 to 20 social media variations per campaign ready for distribution.

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

In-House Efficiency: Reduced our internal post-production bottleneck by roughly 40–50% on campaign variations.

Turnaround Speed: Significantly shortened our turnaround time for multi-platform video packages.

Scalability: Enabled ODV to scale up campaign output and offer clients comprehensive social media add-ons without overextending our internal creative team.

Video Caddy’s project management is extremely reliable and structured. Deliveries are consistently made within agreed timelines, which is crucial when we are running tight campaign launch schedules for our clients. Communication is smooth, and whenever we require specific adjustments or quick turnarounds, their team adapts promptly without friction.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What impressed us most was how easy Video Caddy made it to manage and work with video content at scale.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Video Caddy could have done differently?

One area for improvement would be making some of the video management and workflow features even more intuitive for larger organizations. As our teams and properties have different video needs, having additional automation and customization options could make the process even more efficient. We would also appreciate continued improvements to reporting and analytics so we can better measure how our video content is performing across different channels. Overall, these are relatively minor improvements, as the platform has been useful for our day-to-day video needs.
