Race Property - Case study
Race Property
A developer with four live builds, a phone full of drone footage and nowhere for it to go. We built the format, the feed and the ad account.
Ad managementVideo marketing partner, Auckland
Look like the business you are.
Video, social, and Meta ads run as one programme. Retained monthly, by the director who does the work.
Brands we have produced for
One director, start to finish
The person who writes the strategy is on set, then in the ads account.
Retained, not booked
A monthly programme, not a one-off video that goes quiet four weeks later.
Content and ads together
On Performance, the ads and the creative are decided by the same person.
Auckland based, working nationwide
Travel is scoped into the quote, never added later.
Selected work
The thinking, not just the footage.
Most businesses do not have a content problem. They have a content that looks like content problem. Here is what changes when the strategy comes first.
BarberShopCo - Case study
BarberShopCo
New Zealand’s largest barbering group had 23 stores and a content engine sized for one. We built the system that keeps it fed.
Retainer modelMy Little Pub - Case study
My Little Pub
A trade show brief that became strategy, a numbered series across three formats, and their own customer relationships.
Content partnershipHow it works
Three pillars, one programme.
Direction decides what to make. Production makes it. Momentum gets it in front of people and reports back.
Direction
Strategy, scripting and creative planning. Every programme starts with what the content has to achieve, not with what looks good on the day.
Production
One directed half-day a month, batched so a single session covers a month of posting. Run by a director, not a camera operator.
Momentum
Posting, Meta ads management and a monthly report on what is working. This is the part most video never gets, and it is why most video does nothing.
What clients say
In their words.
These reviews are for work delivered as MC Media Studios, the production company Current Studio grew out of. Same director, same standard, broader remit.
"Working with Mitchell to film a number of content videos for my author brand was an absolute joy! They were edited so well, and resulted in increased visibility across a number of social media platforms."
"We worked with Mitchell for both our 2025 Next Fest and the Sustainable Business Awards, and he was fantastic."
"From initial consultation right through to the final delivery, we felt like Mitchell was caring for our brand and our storyline. Mitchell was professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with."
"I would highly recommend MC Media Studios for videography work. Mitchell filmed our marketing conference with over 300 people attending. He was incredibly easy to deal with in the lead up to the event."
"Mitchell, who led the shoot, was incredibly professional, creative, and easy to work with. He completely understood our vision and brought it to life in such a fresh and engaging way."
"Mitchell has a real talent in videography and a great manner with the people he works with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mitchell to businesses requiring videography services."
The process
Four steps, no surprises.
Never worked with a content partner before? This is exactly how an engagement runs, from first call to content in market.
Discovery
A conversation, not a pitch
Your business, your customers, and what the content has to achieve. No prep needed and nothing to sign.
Plan
Content plan and pre-production
The goals become a content plan, scripts and a shot list. Shoot dates go around your calendar, not ours.
Shoot
One directed session
One directed half day, so you look and sound like yourself. Post-production runs without you.
Momentum
Deliver, publish, report
Content lands ready to publish, on a schedule that keeps running month after month.
The offer
Two retainers, and a door for anything else.
The two tiers run as monthly retainers. Performance adds the layer that puts the content in front of people who do not already follow you.
Presence
$3,200 / month plus GST
Production and strategy, for businesses building a content presence.
- 1x half-day shoot per month
- 8 to 12 short-form videos
- Content strategy and scripting
Most popular
Performance
$4,800 / month plus GST
Everything in Presence, plus the ads and posting layer.
- Everything in Presence
- Meta ads management and posting
- Monthly performance report
Something else
Custom / per project
Plenty of good businesses do not fit a monthly retainer. If your need sits outside the two tiers, say so on a call and we will scope it properly.
- One-off brand films and launch campaigns
- Event and conference coverage
- Scopes that sit between the two tiers
All prices in NZD, plus GST. Retainers start with a 3 month entry term, then continue on 6 or 12 month terms. Ad spend is not included and is paid by you directly to the platform.
How we start
Start with a conversation, not a contract.
A small number of businesses are accepted onto a Current Studio retainer each quarter. The first call costs nothing. If the fit is not there, we will say so.
