Brand campaigns, customer stories, product launches, events, and social content all are important and need attention. You know consistent social media content can do great things for your business. The challenge is making it happen consistently, spreading out and maximizing content for more frequent posts, knowing where to begin, or budget.

The investment makes sense: in Wyzowl’s 2026 survey, 82% of marketers reported a good return on their video marketing. But hiring an internal production team is a major commitment and investment, and booking separate agency projects can mean an unpredictable annual spend, a new estimate each time, another briefing, and more time managing the process.

A Schwartzy retainer gives you an experienced video and photography partner who becomes part of how your team works. We get to know your business, plan around your priorities, and handle the creative, production, and editing. Together, we build a regular schedule of content and look for ways to get more from each shoot, whether that’s a campaign video, customer interview, or a month of social clips that generate engagement and interest.

You get a predictable monthly budget, consistent quality, and people who already understand your brand when the next project comes around. Your team gets more done, with less production work on its plate.

Schwartzy is led by an Emmy-winning filmmaker who has spent years on both sides of the brief, running an independent production company and leading a global brand’s in-house studio. Based in the Washington DC area, we work with brands and organizations across Northern Virginia, Maryland, Washington D.C., and worldwide.
