TOLD BY FIRE
For plumbers, excavators, builders and contractors

Be the name they already know

You explain the work to customers every day. We film that. No stock footage, no drone reel set to music, no script written by somebody who has never been in a trench.

Tell us about the business

Five questions so the first call is useful. It takes under a minute, and nobody calls you before you ask them to.

There is no wrong answer. It changes what we would make.
Town and state is plenty.

No list, no drip sequence. This goes to the people who would do the work.

What they said afterwards

Unedited, from their Google reviews.

Mike Sweeney

I have noticed a big boost in engagement and reach since working with them. The team is easy to work with, responsive, and truly invested in helping me grow.

Nathan Clark

Patrick and his team are not only talented but also truly capture what feels authentic to us. The results have always exceeded expectations.

Erika Twohig

Being around this team just a handful of times has really shown the different levels in what media can look like. Everyone on the team is likable and an expert at what they do.

Why this works

Seventeen clips. Nobody spoke.

We pulled video from every agency serving this market that we could find and watched seventeen of their clips end to end. Not one had a person speaking in it. All of it was music over b-roll. That is the gap, and it is the entire reason we point a camera at you instead of at a drone.

You teach, we film

The posts that work are not portfolio pieces. They are you explaining why a job went the way it did. We build the month around what you already know, so nothing has to be invented and nothing has to be memorised.

Seven finished pieces from one day

That is a real recent round for one of our excavation clients: one long feature, one feature reel, and five short cuts, all from a single day on site. Every one was also delivered without the music bed, so the same footage works on your website, in a proposal, and on social.

What actually happens

Most people who call us have never been on camera and do not want to be. That is the normal starting point, not a problem.

One day of yours. That is the whole ask.

We come to you and film where the work happens, while the work happens. You do not go to a studio, you do not stop the job, and you do not give us a second day. One day on site is what a month of content costs you in time.

You get interviewed, not scripted

Nobody hands you a script to memorise. We ask you the questions your customers already ask, and you answer them the way you always do. That is the whole trick, and it is why people who hate being on camera come out sounding like themselves.

One day becomes a month of content

A recent round for one of our excavation clients came back as seven finished pieces from a single shoot: one long feature, one feature reel, and five short cuts. Every one of them was also delivered without the music bed, so the same footage works on a website, in a proposal and on social.

Back within four weeks

Finished cuts land within four weeks of the shoot. That is the commitment written into our agreement, not an estimate, and you get a week after delivery to ask for changes.

You see everything before anyone else

Finished cuts land in a folder that is yours. Nothing gets published until you have seen it.

What it costs

$2,500 to $4,000 a month

That is the range most of our monthly work sits in. Smaller packages exist. We will tell you on the first call which one fits, including if the answer is none of them.

We are based in Providence and most of our work is within about an hour of it, across Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Further out is possible, it just costs more to get there.
