The goal: show off The Langley Co.’s new Pickleball Collection with content that reflects the fun, stylish energy of the brand.

We created a themed video that goes beyond product shots and focuses on the lifestyle their customers connect with. Because for The Langley Co., it’s not just about what they sell, it’s about how their brand makes people feel.

Podcasts aren’t just conversations; they’re strategic content engines.

One recording session can turn into:
✔️ A full-length audio episode
✔️ A full-length video episode
✔️ Short-form video for social
✔️ Blog-worthy transcripts
✔️ Evergreen clips for ad campaigns

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we set our clients up to get more mileage out of every word they record.

The goal: capture the spirit of The Langley Co.’s Midwest Cowgirl Collection.

We built a series of organic Instagram videos that were stylised, story-driven, and brand-focused. One of these videos was for the Midwest Cowgirl Collection.

The key with content like this is to focus on the brand's feeling above all.

The Langley Co. sells products people identify with. The content is one of the ways people identify with the brand.

In this case, it’s more about diving deep with the client before production.

Is your brand selling product features or story and style people identify with?

I'M NOT BORED, YOU'RE BORED!

Being quarantined in the house these past few weeks was the inspiration for this video. However, I think this is a valuable time for us to explore new ideas and strategies that can help us grow in our work and personal lives.

Lately, I've been fascinated with seamless-transition videos (see Blundstones Boot Ad), and I plan to keep using this time to branch out of my comfort zone.

I would love to know some new things you've been trying during this time? Feel free to share in the comments below.

And before you ask, yes, my brother is a certified barista, and no you may not see his credentials! 😉

Man, it's been a while, huh Facebook?! 🤦‍♂️

I can't believe I forgot to post this video when it first came out! Although a little late, I feel this video is more important now than when It was first released.

I think it's crucial that we continue to take the time to encourage and appreciate the people, groups, and businesses that work to improve our community.

If you know of anyone working to help others, show them some love in the comments. 👇
