90-day online marketing plan
Northframe Films
Northframe Films will win more calls from businesses by putting its showreel in front of buyers who search for a video supplier, by being visible where marketing managers look on LinkedIn and by earning introductions from the agencies and designers who are asked for a name.
More calls and enquiries · Under 100 US dollars a month
Your three priorities
Put a short showreel at the top of a website with a page for each kind of film and a simple enquiry form, so a manager who searches for corporate video production can see your work and ask for a call within a minute.
Make LinkedIn your main place for being seen, with a company page and a personal profile that share what you have made and how a project runs, since marketing managers and business owners look you up there before they reply.
Build a small group of referral partners such as web designers, marketing consultants and agencies, because clients are often asked who they would trust with video.

Your channels, in order
Website and Google search Medium effort · Low cost
Buyers search for the type of video they need and then judge a supplier by its showreel, so the website must show work and make asking easy.
- Put a short showreel at the top of the home page, with the type of project labelled under each clip.
- Write a page each for corporate video, brand films, event videos and social media clips, using the search phrases in this plan.
- Add an enquiry form that asks what the film is for, the date it is needed and the budget range, with a number to call.
LinkedIn Medium effort · Free
Marketing managers and owners are on it for work, and a company page lets you show projects to the people who hire.
- Make a company page with the showreel pinned and your services described in the buyer's words.
- Post one project write-up a week, covering the brief, the shoot and the finished film.
- Send a short, personal message to a few local marketing managers each week, with one relevant film.
Referral partners Medium effort · Low cost
Web designers, marketing consultants and agencies are asked for a video supplier by their own clients, and one trusted introduction can start a project.
- List the designers, consultants and agencies you already know and arrange a coffee or a call with each.
- Give each a one-page sheet on what you make, how a project runs and what they would need to tell you.
- Offer to work quietly under a partner's name where they prefer, and thank them for every introduction.
Google Business Profile Low effort · Free
It puts you on the map for video production company near me and gives a business buyer a call button and your reviews.
- Choose a video production category, add your service area and describe each type of film.
- Add stills from different projects and a link to the showreel.
- Ask clients for a review once a film has been delivered, with a direct link by message.
YouTube Low effort · Free
Buyers search for examples and watch a showreel before they ring, and a channel with clear titles can be found on its own.
- Upload the showreel and two or three finished films with titles that use the search phrases in this plan.
- Write a short description under each film saying who it was for, what it was for and how to get in touch.
Email follow-ups Low effort · Free
Video projects take weeks to agree, and a polite follow-up often decides whether a proposal becomes a booking.
- Send each proposal with a short note, then follow up after a few days with an offer of a short video call.
- Write to past clients each quarter with a recent film and a note on what you could make next.
What your website needs
- A home page with the showreel at the top, a line saying what you make and for whom, and a button to ask for a call.
- A corporate video production page answering the search, with the stages of a project and a sample film.
- A brand film page for companies that want to tell their story, with an example and the questions you ask.
- An event video page covering speakers, highlights and clips cut for LinkedIn, answering the search for event video production.
- A social media video page showing vertical and square clips with captions.
- A video production prices page that explains what changes the cost, such as crew, days, locations and edit time.
- A work page with three or four projects, each with the brief, what you made and where it was used.
