Your Best Footage Is Often Already Being Recorded
Job-Site Footage

Before & After
Strong visual transformations for services where the result is clearly visible.
Owner / Technician Content
Business owners or technicians answering questions, explaining services, discussing common problems or showing their expertise.
Customer Testimonials
Raw customer experiences that can be structured into more polished social-proof content.
Existing Photos, B-Roll & Brand Assets
Project photos, existing clips, service footage, truck/team content and brand assets can support the edit when supplied.
You do not need a cinematic production every week to create useful marketing videos. Consistent footage from real jobs, customers and team members can provide strong source material for recurring content.

5 Videos or 200. The Workflow Can Scale With You.
85thAgency is not built only for huge agencies, and not only for small businesses. Clients with smaller needs are equally suitable for the service.
5–10
videos / month
Smaller Recurring Needs
For a service business or smaller agency that may only need approximately 5–10 videos per month. The same professional editing workflow can be used without forcing unnecessary production volume.
20–50+
videos / month
Growing Content Operations
For teams producing 20, 30, 50 or more videos per month, editing capacity can increase as content production increases.
100–200+
videos / month
High-Volume Agency Production
For agencies managing multiple service-business clients, 85thAgency can assign multiple editors and support production volumes reaching 100–200+ videos per month when planned around the required formats, complexity, timelines, number of client accounts and workflow.
Production capacity is not tied to one editor. Multiple editors can be assigned when the workload requires it.
There is no fixed single-editor ceiling on the relationship. Larger volumes are planned around scope and timelines.
Already Producing Content for Service-Business Clients?
Many marketing, content and creative agencies already handle the strategy, scripts, shoots and campaign management for their clients. 85thAgency can operate as the editing layer behind that workflow — taking supplied A-roll, B-roll and creative direction and turning it into finished content at the volume the agency needs.
Multiple client accounts
Different service-business clients can maintain separate workflows.
Different brand styles
A roofing company, painting company and pressure-washing client do not need to receive the same editing template.
Multiple editors when volume grows
Additional editing capacity can be assigned as more clients or deliverables are added.
White-label workflows
Editing can remain behind the agency's brand where needed.
Service businesses can also work with 85thAgency directly — an agency relationship is not required.
Editing for Ads Without Taking Over Your Ad Account
Supplied footage can be turned into service-business video ads using:
- Job transformations
- Before-and-after
- Owner footage
- Technician explanations
- Customer testimonials
- Service pain points
- Process footage
- Client-supplied offers
- Seasonal messaging
- Completed projects
For performance creative beyond service businesses, see ad creative video editing.
Strong opening
Lead with the problem, the result, the transformation or the strongest available statement instead of a slow company introduction.
Clear service
The viewer should quickly understand what service is being offered.
Real proof
Where supplied, prioritize real jobs, projects, crews, equipment, customers and results over generic stock-style advertising.
Clear CTA
When provided by the client or agency, make the service, offer, location/service area and CTA clear in the creative.
85thAgency creates and edits the video creative. The client or their advertising partner remains responsible for media buying, targeting, campaign management and ad spend.
One Editing Style Does Not Fit Every Service Business
Examples of service-business workflows the editing model can support, and the footage each one typically produces.
Roofing

Damage · Inspections · Installations · Replacements · Crew & equipment · Completed roofs
Pressure Washing & Exterior Cleaning
Useful footage can include
Equipment · Surface restoration · Before / after

85thAgency can work from existing edits, reference videos and brand guidelines rather than applying one generic contractor-video template to every business.
One Job Can Become More Than One Video
When enough useful footage is supplied, a single job or content shoot may support:
- Before-and-after video
- Project highlight
- Owner explanation
- Technician clip
- Organic social post
- Service explainer
- Ad variation
- Shorter cutdown
- Vertical version
- Alternate opening
The number of useful videos depends on the amount, quality and variety of footage supplied.
