A COMPLETE VIDEO, APP AND ONLINE MARKETING PACKAGE:
VIDEO PRODUCTION
Building a reputation for producing visually attractive, engaging and creative video for varied clients, we like to bring our personal touch and passion for getting things ‘just right’ to every project. We understand how important it is to hit just the right tone to attract visitors, so working closely with you, we can research and write a carefully scripted narrative and screenplay. We will source professional actors/narrators to deliver your content for you, or we can direct your own choice of narrator who might be particularly knowledgeable in their field. Sound effects, music and re-enacted scenes can add interest and drama to your production. We can even access a drone camera to produce stunning aerial footage of your location. We use the latest full HD cameras, Jib Arms, Dollies and post production tools so that your video will look truly cinematic and stand out from the crowd. Every project is different so we will work to your requirements and budget, so get in touch to discuss your needs and get an obligation free quote.
MOBILE APP AUDIO TOURS
Our intention at Curioso Media is to develop an engaging audio tour, so we work together with academics, local historians, folklorists and tour guides: people whose knowledge of the heritage site is extensive – conducting thorough research to produce a narrative history of the site – selecting accompanying photographs is an integral part of this – as is a map or floor/site plan - Allowing the visitor to orientate themselves and find the key features of the location. Curioso Media uses the IZI.Travel App to host audio tours. This free software can be downloaded to your visitors' device and is compatible with Apple, Android and Windows. If your site has Wifi then visitors can use the audio tour on-site. If reception is poor the whole tour can be downloaded to the visitors' mobile device before their visit. This can then be replayed as many times as they wish. Hosted by IZI.Travel, this app is part of an integrated package that can include website design or advice about advertising the app on your existing website or social media pages.
WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT
An essential part of any marketing strategy is a modern, mobile-friendly branded website, to showcase your video, rich media content, App download and social media links. We will work closely with you to design and deliver the most effective website to promote your location. We can advise on Search Engine Optmisation, how to write engaging for the web, and the best methods to display your content to attract and retain visitors. We can also advise or setup your social media pages and suggest the most efficient ways to promote your brand.
