primary outcomes

Assets that look premium on CTV and perform natively on mobile and social.

✦ the approach

The video is finished. Now what?

Ideally, that question has already been answered.

Before creative development begins, Union works with your team to define the audience, campaign objective, channels, and role of each deliverable. Those decisions shape the concept and the result is not one video forced into multiple placements, but a connected system of assets designed to make the entire production investment work harder.

Built for the screen it lives on

A CTV spot, LinkedIn video, sales enablement asset, and conference opener may share the same central idea, but they should not feel like the same edit resized four different ways. Union builds each version around its viewing environment while maintaining a consistent creative idea across the campaign. Every asset has a clear purpose, and every channel gets what it needs.

01 — Connected TV & OTT

Broadcast-compliant delivery

We deliver broadcast-compliant files with the correct audio mixing and color space for streaming platforms like Hulu, Roku, and Peacock.

02 — Paid social & digital ads

Cutdowns that convert

We create specific cutdowns (15s, 6s) and aspect ratios (9:16, 1:1) designed for the unique viewing behaviors of Meta, LinkedIn, and YouTube.

03 — Website & content hubs

Fast, native on-page

We optimize files for fast web loading and ensure the narrative structure fits the user experience of your landing pages and service hubs.

Anthony E.
Sr. Marketing Manager

Working with Union was very refreshing. From the very first call, they understood how to create videos for healthcare brands and how to create impactful videos that would connect with our local community. The result was a collection of TV Commercials that perfectly represented our brand, community, and vision!

Andres Moran
Founder/CEO

We were referred to Union by a digital marketer we trusted. However, because I had never worked with a video production company before, I had my own natural skepticism and uncertainties around the process. All of that went away from the first conversation we had with Dustin and the team at Union. They took the time to learn our goals and our budget. From there, the entire engagement was handled with excellence. They gave us concrete milestones and timelines that were always met. It was clear they were professionals at planning and execution, which is evident in the quality of the video assets they created for us. I'd recommend Union to anyone and feel confident about it. They're one of the best companies I've worked with.

Frequently
Asked Questions

Do you buy the media and place the ads?

Yes. We are a creative video agency, but through a strategic partnership with Q1Media, you can go right through us as a one-stop-shop.

Can you recut an old video for a new platform?

Yes. If you have existing high-quality footage, we can often bring it into our post-production workflow and recut it for new platforms or updated messaging.

How many cutdowns should we expect from a campaign?

It depends on your media plan. Many campaign packages typically include one hero video (60s-90s), two to three cutdowns (15s-30s), and a library of social content.
