Video Differentiator — Purpose-Built Video Services
We don't start with cameras. We start with diagnosis. Every engagement at Video Differentiator begins with a structured assessment of what your video content is actually doing versus what it should be doing. Based in East Byron, we serve organisations across Ireland and beyond who need video that performs, not just video that exists.
Since 2019, we've completed 213 diagnostic engagements resulting in measurable improvements for 89% of clients within the first production cycle. Our retention across multi-quarter contracts sits at 76%.
Capability Map
Diagnostic Assessment
Structured evaluation of your existing video assets, audience fit, platform performance, and production workflow. Delivered as an actionable report within five working days.
Narrative Design
We architect the story framework before any filming begins. Brand voice, emotional arc, call-to-action logic — all mapped in a collaborative workshop format.
Production
On-location and studio filming with broadcast-grade equipment. We handle scripting, direction, talent coordination, and on-set quality control.
Post-Production & Delivery
Editing, colour grading, sound design, motion graphics, and platform-optimised exports. Two revision rounds included as standard in every engagement.
Ongoing Strategy
Quarterly content roadmaps, performance analytics reviews, and iterative content refinement. Designed for organisations publishing video regularly.
"They didn't just make us a video — they showed us why our previous ones weren't working. The diagnostic report alone was worth the engagement fee." — D. Hennessy, Marketing Director, Lakeview Hospitality Group
Engagement Ladder
Decision Board — Is This Right for You?
| Scenario | Typical Provider | Video Differentiator |
|---|---|---|
| You need a single corporate video | Quote → shoot → deliver | Diagnostic first, then scoped production with narrative framework |
| You have existing videos underperforming | Suggest reshooting everything | Audit existing assets; salvage what works, reshoot only what's broken |
| You want ongoing video content | Monthly retainer, generic output | Quarterly roadmap tied to business objectives with performance reviews |
| You're unsure what video you need | Sell you the most expensive package | Discovery call + diagnostic — no production commitment required |
| You need video for multiple platforms | One video, multiple crops | Platform-native content designed for each channel's audience behaviour |
We're not the right fit for everyone. If you need a quick turnaround social clip with no strategic input, a freelance editor may serve you better.
Engagement Formats
Diagnostic Only
Standalone assessment of your video ecosystem. Ideal if you have an internal team but need an external perspective. Delivered as a written report with a 45-minute walkthrough call. Typical duration: 5–7 working days.
Single Project
End-to-end production for a defined deliverable — a brand film, product video, event coverage, or recruitment piece. Includes diagnostic scoping, production, and post-production. Typical duration: 3–6 weeks.
Quarterly Partnership
Ongoing strategic video support. Includes a quarterly content roadmap, up to three production days per quarter, post-production, and a performance review session. Minimum commitment: two quarters.
Common Questions
What if the diagnostic reveals we don't need new video?
That's a valid outcome. Sometimes the issue is distribution, not production. We'll tell you honestly if your existing assets can be recut, re-targeted, or better deployed without new filming.
How much does the diagnostic cost?
The standalone diagnostic is a fixed-fee engagement. Contact us for current pricing — it varies based on the volume of existing assets we need to review.
Do you work outside Ireland?
Yes. Remote diagnostics and strategy work are fully supported. For production requiring on-location filming outside Ireland, we scope travel and logistics separately.
Can we hire you for editing only?
We occasionally take on post-production-only projects, but only after a brief scoping conversation to ensure the source material meets our quality threshold.
What's your typical turnaround for a single project?
From diagnostic sign-off to final delivery, most single projects complete within three to six weeks. Rush timelines are possible but affect pricing.
