Why Smart Brands Choose Video Retainer Packages
Video retainer packages have become the secret weapon for brands achieving consistent marketing success. Studies show that businesses using ongoing video production services generate 66% more qualified leads than those creating content sporadically. (1)
However, many brands struggle with the constant demand for fresh video content across their marketing channels. This challenge has led smart companies to shift away from project-based video production toward retainer partnerships that deliver predictable results. Specifically, these partnerships help brands maintain a steady stream of high-quality videos while maximizing their ROI through strategic planning and resource optimization.
What is a video retainer?
A video retainer agreement is a creative partnership between a business and a video production company, providing businesses with a predetermined amount of video work for a fixed monthly fee. It eliminates the need to find new vendors for each project, and gives brands priority access to production resources, streamlined workflows, and consistent content.
With a video retainer, the production company becomes an extension of the client's team, gaining a deeper understanding of brand values and requirements. The partnership typically includes a project management portal, dedicated filming days, production planning meetings, and priority scheduling for urgent projects.

The world of video marketing is constantly evolving, with new formats, platforms, and trends emerging regularly. From short-form content like TikTok and Instagram Reels to longer and interactive videos, a video retainer ensures your business stays ahead of the curve. Reports show that short-form videos have the highest ROI of any video type, making them an essential component of a modern video marketing strategy. With a dedicated video production partner, you can easily test and incorporate new video formats to stay competitive in your industry.
As your business grows, so do your content needs. A video retainer offers scalability, allowing you to increase production levels as needed. Whether you’re launching a new product, expanding to new markets, or ramping up seasonal campaigns, a video retainer ensures that your video content keeps pace with your business growth. Having a structured video plan means you’re never caught off guard when new opportunities arise.
A long-term collaboration with a video production company fosters a deep understanding of a brand’s voice, values, and aesthetic preferences. This ensures that every video—whether it’s a social media snippet or a corporate training module—aligns with brand guidelines. Consistency in branding builds trust, with 87% of consumers associating cohesive messaging with professionalism and reliability.
Since we invest time in understanding a retainer client’s unique needs, the video quality improves over time.
