Our Rates

Rates are tricky, in the same way as – how long is a piece of string?

The answer to the question “what are your rates?” is always, “well, it depends…”

But that doesn’t help anyone, does it? There’s also a lot of secrecy around rates and the costing of projects. We don’t believe that should be the case. Our goal is to be fully transparent in everything we do. After all, we’re not here to rip anyone off. We want to charge fairly, be open about it and work with partners like you that come back for more because our work blows them away.

We’ve designed this rate card to help you get an idea of what it will cost to work with us. Use it as a rough guideline. We are always looking to align incentives and work within whatever budget you may have. So reach out to us when you’re ready to get started.

FAQs

Why do 4-8 social media reels roughly cost R15000 when the videography service is only R5000 per day?

All video content that we produce needs to be planned, scripted, recorded, edited and then rendered. So even though we may only spend a single day recording content with you, we spend a lot more time behind the scenes planning and producing the content.
