We keep ad spend within your budget, and are not keen on spending your money frivolously.

Process & Timeline Questions

Results & ROI Questions

  • At Nicely Video Co, we measure video marketing success based on your specific business goals, not vanity metrics. Every project starts with a clear strategy so results are trackable and meaningful.

    We typically track:

    • Brand Awareness: video views, watch time, reach, impressions, audience retention

    • Engagement: click through rates, comments, likes, shares, saves, and social media engagement

    • Conversions: form submissions, booked calls, purchases, cost per lead

    • Revenue & ROI: attributed sales, customer lifetime value, return on investment

    Because we produce high quality strategic video content, our clients consistently see organic performance that is 5 to 100 times higher than lower quality content, based on real client data. We provide clear monthly analytics reports with actionable insights so your video marketing continues to improve over time.

  • Results vary depending on what we’re making, how it’s distributed, and whether we’re focused on organic video marketing or paid video ads. That said, high quality video marketing consistently outperforms other content formats.

    Industry-wide, video delivers a 90 percent positive ROI, with most marketers reporting direct sales growth. With Nicely Video Co, clients commonly experience:

    • Strong increases in organic reach and engagement on social media

    • Higher landing page conversion rates

    • Longer website session times

    • Increased trust and faster sales conversations

    Our advantage comes from pairing cinema-grade video production with strategy. We shoot on Canon cinema cameras including the C500 Mark II and C50, use professional audio from Sennheiser and Rode, and light every project with Aputure, Lightmat, and Nanlite lighting. The result is video content that looks premium, builds trust, and performs better across platforms.

  • The timeline depends on whether we’re running paid ads, focusing on organic growth, or combining both.

    • Paid video ads: Results often appear within a few days. Video ads are extremely effective when paired with our targeting and creative strategy.

    • Organic social media video: Engagement and reach typically begin in the first one to two weeks, with momentum building over time.

    • SEO and long-term growth: Website traffic, search visibility, and brand authority compound over several months.

    In general:

    • Week 1: Views, engagement, brand awareness

    • Weeks 2 to 8: Increased website traffic, inbound leads

    • Months 2 to 6: Sales conversations, testimonials, stronger brand trust

    • Months 6 to 12: SEO growth, lower customer acquisition cost, compounding returns

    High quality strategic content performs better for longer, especially when used across multiple platforms.

  • We guarantee production quality, professionalism, and on-time delivery. Because marketing performance depends on many factors outside of video production, we don’t guarantee specific results. But we do guarantee that if we take you on as a client, we will actually care about the result.

    That said, if a video does not meet our technical standards, we will re shoot at no cost. We also include post launch optimization guidance to help maximize performance across social media, websites, and ad platforms. Our goal is long term success, not one off videos.

    Audio is captured using professional microphones from Sennheiser and Rode, and all lighting is handled with industry-leading fixtures from Aputure, Lightmat, and Nanlite. This ensures clean sound, consistent lighting, and a polished, professional look.

    Everything is filmed in 5-7K, and while we always prioritize quality, we also select gear intentionally. In some cases, a smaller setup creates a more natural, documentary-style feel that performs better for social media and branded content.
