Studio 52 Marvelous March-New Services

What’s new, what’s true, and what’s blue. This is . . .You @ 52

We’re th#nking str@tegy

Video is fast becoming the language of our age. That trend is only set to continue.

• ·         There are now more than 2.4 billion people online globally – and rising
• ·         Cisco says that 69% of all web traffic will be video in 2 years
• ·         Groupon thinks 79% of people will watch online videos EVERY DAY by 2018
• ·         93% of marketers used video for marketing communications in 2015
• ·         Using video on your landing page can increase conversion rates by up to 80%

Stats like these offer a big heads-up to marketers – and to video producers. It’s this trend that has prompted us to refine and redefine what we do. To that end, we continue to enhance and expand our video and audio production service offering. We can now offer a wider client base even more video production services. Our core creative production strands now include:

• ·         Corporate video production
• ·         Film production
• ·         Safety video production
• ·         Medical videos
• ·         Training videos
• ·         Explainer
• ·         Timelapse videos
• ·         Branding videos
• ·         Dubbing videos
• ·         TV commercial production
• ·         Industrial photography
• ·         Aerial photography
• ·         Commercial photography
• ·         Corporate event photography
• ·         Call centre recording
• ·         Audio post production

But in keeping with our forward facing approach, we can now build strategic digital marketing campaigns around most of the videos we produce. This involves the integrated use of multi-media and social media. Social has gone as vertical as video. So we’ve combined the two to offer an end-to-end digital marketing service with video at its centre. We are now a strategic video production hub. The uptake in our services has been very encouraging indeed.

Electricity city

Studio 52 Participated at Middle East Electricity 2016

March 1^st to March 3^rd we exhibited our expanding strategic video production services at the Middle East Electrical Event at the Dubai World Trade Centre. Hosted by the UAE Ministry of Energy, this must-attend event showcased global businesses at the cutting edge of the Power Generation, Lighting, Water, Nuclear, and New and Renewable energy industries.

Reaction to our presentation was excellent. Many new professional relationships were initiated that are now maturing into strong and cordial business associations.

By way of demonstrating our anywhere-anytime production skills, we also recorded the event on video. Crazy not to, really. The production proved very popular with other delegates!

We’d really like to explain something

Growing popularity of Videos

In keeping with the rise the audio-visual, progressive brands now explain their products and services more and more via the use of video. Explainer videos are typically short, fun, creative and sometimes funny ways to tell people what you do they’ll understand easily.

Naturally we’re ahead of the explainer video curve. In fact our Explainer Videos production services are going, well . . . viral. We produce motion graphic landing page, product demo, promotional, presentation, instructional, sales, and staff training explainer videos for clients in the banking, finance, healthcare, trading and IT sectors. The service is proving very popular, so we’re expanding that strand of our video production services. Let us explain how.

Studio Sticky

The future has arrived. If you thought 2016 would be the year of the video . . . you were right. Just how right you were is amazing. Check out this article. These stats corroborate and extend the statistics we mentioned at the start of the newsletter about the rise and rise of video.

For brands out there fighting for customers, Fact #16 is nothing less than phenomenal. Only a few years ago finding a way to get people to stay on your homepage for an extra two minutes before chasing Google’s tail would have been considered impossible. In web browsing terms, two minutes is nothing less than a geological epoch. Only longer. So an eye catching video on your homepage really can make your website stickier than, well . . . a sticky thing could.

Check out what's new at Studio 52-Fab Feb 2016

What’s new, what’s true, and what’s blue. This is . . .

You @ 52

You cannot be serious

When Studio 52 was born all the way back in 1977, the world met Luke Skywalker for the first time. And a certain John McEnroe was rattling bones - and bone china tea cups - at Wimbledon with a vengeance. While John went on to earn a reputation for his, erm, mood swings, we went on to become one of the region’s most sought after video production companies and creative hubs. Since then we’ve gone from strength to strength, providing amazing moving images to niche, national and global brands in an array of sectors. And the better we’ve become, the better we’ve become. And now some say we’re the best. Obviously modesty prevents us from agreeing. But they’re right. And we’re just getting started.

Because the Force is strong in us.

We’re serious (and love to have fun)

And now? Now we’re expanding and rebranding. Breaking new ground. We’re working even harder to make moving images get the job done. We’re surfing. Riding the wave by finding new ways to knock our clients’ socks off. Then we give them flip flops to wear to the beach where they can enjoy the success we help them achieve. It’s true. Ask us about the flip flops.

See? 

The new look Studio 52

STOP PRESS: Good just got better: we’re undergoing a facelift that will leave us looking minty fresh. A new website. Improved services. New ways to help clients woo, win and above all retain customers. Because while there’s no business like show business, all business is repeat business, right? It’s all about strategy. Like chess. Like football. Like us. 

Online, on the move, on the ball

Change is the only constant. And moving images . . . move. That’s how they move people. Video is dynamic – like the world we live in. There are now 2.4 billion people online. That number is rising as we speak. If you’re in business, that’s a mighty opportunity. And so . . .

‘People process images 60,000 times faster than text.’

So trending now . . . YouTube, Vimeo, Metacafe etc . . . marcoms video + big time social media is the #way to go. And on the basis that you’d rather be a pathfinder than bringing up the rear: Studio 52 is expanding and refining its game changing audio-visual services to keep its clients ahead of the curve. And on their toes. Which brings us back to those flip flops.  

Seriously: ask us.

Mr and Misses

The Studio 52 team is pretty close. In fact we’re more like an extended family. (And you are always welcome for tea.) Who papa 52 is, is a subject for discussion. We all know who mama 52 is. So because we’re a healthy family, we eat right, do lots of exercise (really), and undertake bonding stuff like weekly energizer sessions for employees. What are weekly energizer sessions for employees? Basically we get together and plug in, chill out, and chat about what’s hot and what’s not. We chew the fat. And naturally we never, ever argue.

Instead we talk about flip flops. 

 

Get it while it’s hot

For Fabulous February, we’re doing lots of crazy offers. Flat 10% off select services for select clients. Fancy being one of them? Get in touch. The kettle is always on.
