I own 2 small companies that make films for other people. 1 does weddings, 1 does corporate stuff like advertisements and informative films. The question is about the latter.
I do it for 3-4 years now, and did some (succesful) projects for some pretty big clients in my country. 2 clients even came back a couple of times for more films.
I have a distinctive style and until now have always lived up to the clients expectations or even exceeded them. We are talking about 'medium' sized corporate productions here. No 1 man gigs, but no full film production sets either. Budgets between € 2000 - 5000, with 1 time a project of € 25.000.
Almost all projects until now came from mine or my partners 'network'. We just got these projects thrown in our lap. But now this doesn't happen often anymore and I feel like I'm on a dead track. I often look for film jobs or adverts on populair websites here and then respond to get a project, but that doesn't happen often either.
So, how can I 'market' myself and my company? Of course we have a website and everything, but where do I 'put' it? What do companies do when they want a film? Where do they search?
Or should I contact random companies?
How do you guys do it? How do you get your gigs and what do you do in order to get them?
BTW, I live in the Netherlands, so you can share all your secrets with me. I'm no competition
Love to hear from you.
