01 · The problem
If they don't see you, they buy from someone they do.
Your customers decide who to trust by what they see on their phone. Most businesses know this. Few have the time to do it well.
You post, then go quiet for weeks
Running the business always wins. The feed goes cold and the algorithm forgets you.
Pretty videos. Nobody watches.
You paid for polish. People swiped away in two seconds because there was no hook and no story.
Five vendors and no plan
A videographer, an editor, a designer, an ads guy. You are the glue, and you are tired.
Likes, but no customers
Views that never turn into calls, bookings or sales. Content without a strategy is just noise.
02 · The Decode Content Engine
You film once. We turn it into a month of content.
Here is what one shoot day becomes. Every piece is cut for the platform it lives on, and built to be watched to the end.

03 · The work
Don't take our word for it. Press play.
Real reels from our own Instagram. Same team, same playbook we will run for you.
04 · How it works
Strategists who happen to hold cameras.
Anyone can film. Views come from the plan behind the camera. Every client runs through our 5D method.
01DecodeFind your story
A deep-dive call on your business, your buyers and your edge. We find the story only you can tell.
02DesignPlan the month
A 30-day calendar, scripts and hooks for every platform. You approve it in one sitting.
03DirectShoot day
One day on site or in studio. Camera, lights, sound and a director who coaches you so you never freeze.
04DistributeEdit, post, promote
We cut 30+ pieces, write every caption, post on schedule and put ad budget behind the winners.
05DataLearn and repeat
A monthly report on what worked. We double down on the winners and drop the rest.
05 · Make. Test. Scale.
Thinkers who make. Makers who think.
Paying one company for ideas and another to produce them makes no sense. We do strategy, creative, production and paid media under one roof, focused on output.
01 · MakeHigh volume, every weekA dedicated team making content constantly: 30+ pieces a month from one shoot day. Ideas are cheap. Output wins.
02 · TestLet the feed decideEvery piece goes out native to its platform. We read the numbers weekly to see which hooks, topics and formats actually land.
03 · ScalePay only for proven winnersAd budget goes only behind posts that already perform organically. No guessing with your money.
06 · Why we built this
I did it the hard way. So you don't have to.
I spent 15 years in sales and marketing learning why people buy. Then I started a channel with a phone, a mic and zero editing skills. Hundreds of reels flopped. Then one hit 1.3 million views and 25,000 shares, and the rest started to climb.
Three years and 1,000+ pieces later: 10M+ views and 30K+ followers, with no ad budget. Decode Studio runs that playbook for your brand, so you skip the years of guessing.

07 · In their words
People we have put on camera.
Leaders, founders and professionals we have interviewed, filmed and edited.
I was very impressed with the final interview that was released, in particular the use of visuals that helped to emphasize comments that I made. It also helped me reach a wider audience.
His ability to listen deeply and connect with people on a personal level has allowed him to unearth stories that resonate with authenticity and depth.
You can really tell that he takes his time to do homework on the topics. He truly cares to provide the best show possible for the audience.
His questions were thought-provoking and allowed me to dive deep into my work as a community activist and now as an MLA.

11 · Questions
Asked and answered.
Still unsure? Ask us on the call. It is free and takes 30 minutes.
How much does it cost?
Every brand needs something different, so we build a plan around your goals and budget. On the call you get a clear monthly number. No pressure, no hard sell.
Do I have to be on camera?
It works best when you are, because people trust faces. We can also feature your team, your customers or your work. We coach you so it feels easy.
How much of my time does this take?
One shoot day a month, plus about an hour to approve the plan. We handle everything else.
When will I see results?
Your first posts go live within 3 weeks. Reach builds over the first 60 to 90 days of steady posting, and we report on it every month.
Is this better than hiring a part-time content person?
For about what a part-timer costs once you add CPP, EI and vacation pay, you get a strategist, a director with gear, editors and someone posting for you. No hiring, training or turnover. If you would still rather hire, the free plan helps you brief that person.
Am I locked into a contract?
No. The Content Engine runs month to month. We earn the next month by delivering this one.
Who owns the content?
You do. Every video, photo and post is yours to keep and use anywhere.
What kinds of businesses do you work with?
Clinics, law and finance firms, real estate, restaurants, trades, founders and personal brands. If you have customers, you have a story.
Do you do research projects?
Yes. Story and history research for films and books, market and competitor research, and content research. It can be a standalone project or part of a film or monthly plan.
Do you make longer films and documentaries?
Yes. Brand films, documentaries, non-profit impact films and short films. Tell us the story and we will plan the shoot, crew and edit.
