THE PROCESS
There are many steps leading up to the actual filming/recording of a Real People/Testimonial Commercial:
- Identifying the strategy.
- Targeting the key consumers.
- Recommending key markets.
- Developing in-depth consumer insights questionnaires.
- Researching, locating and screening the consumers of the product or service.
- Conducting one-on-one interviews or focus groups.
- Interviewing/Directing the real people at the shoot.
How does it start?
Many assignments require The REELPeople Co. to enter the project before the storyboards have been developed. Or we can review the creative idea and help develop a proposal that best suits your ultimate goal.
Clients can utilize The REELPeople Co. in many ways, from simply casting a real people commercial or conducting market research against the target market or acting as creative consultants on the project from beginning to end.
The REELPeople Co. can guide you and your team in the Real People/Testimonial process by making recommendations and suggestions in order to assure your project's success, keeping you on budget and on time! Our staff can tailor a proposal to suit your research, legal, creative and budgetary needs.
