Why a Team

Editing Capacity Without Another Hire

01

A team instead of one point of capacity

85thAgency is supported by a team of 20+ editors, making it suited to recurring production and changing workloads without depending entirely on one editor’s availability.

02

Flexible, on-demand editing

Clients can purchase editing capacity and use it when they need it instead of committing to unnecessary production volume every month. Video credits do not expire.

03

Different content needs different editing styles

An ad, YouTube video, podcast, Reel and real-estate walkthrough should not all be edited the same way. 85thAgency can work from previous videos, reference edits, brand guidelines and creative direction to follow an established style.

04

Built for recurring production

85thAgency supports clients who need editing repeatedly without having to continually source, test, onboard and manage individual editors.

What Should You Actually Hire?

There is no single best way to hire a video editor. The right model depends on your workload, consistency and how much recruiting and management you want to handle yourself.

Freelance Video Editor

Best for

One-off projects or relatively simple, predictable editing needs.

What to consider

  • Direct relationship with one editor
  • Availability depends on that individual
  • Sourcing and management stay with you
  • Strong option when one editor can comfortably handle the workload

In-House Video Editor

Best for

Organizations with enough consistent production to justify permanent headcount.

What to consider

  • Editor becomes part of the internal team
  • Fixed ongoing employment cost
  • Recruiting and management remain internal
  • Capacity depends on the internal team available

85thAgency Editing Team

Best for

Creators, businesses and agencies that need recurring professional editing with flexible capacity.

What to consider

  • Team of 20+ editors
  • Flexible/on-demand volume
  • Multiple editing styles
  • Scalable production capacity
  • No need to recruit and manage an individual editor
  • Short-form and long-form can stay with the same partner

If you only need an occasional edit and already have a freelancer you trust, that may be all you need. 85thAgency becomes particularly useful when video editing turns into an ongoing production requirement.
