CONSTRUCTION MARKETING.
SIMPLIFIED.
SIMPLY PUT: WE TAKE INCREDIBLE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS OF YOUR JOB SITES, GROW YOUR SOCIAL PLATFORMS, RUN YOUR ADS, AND KEEP YOUR WEBSITE RELEVANT SO YOU CAN FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS.
YOU FOCUS ON BUILDING, WE FOCUS ON BUILDING YOUR BRAND
Why not a marketing company that operates like a construction company… tailored to construction companies?
Since 2016 we’ve gotten our boots dirty filming construction, excavation, snow removal, and landscaping all over New England.
We keep it simple. We handle the things that grow your business and brand online. You handle the dirt work. (Though we may have helped on an overnight mulching project that was running behind.)
CONTENT CREATION
Capture content once a month or light your industry on fire by filming once a week. The more you shoot - the less you pay per hour. Our Content Teams are FAA certified, and come site-ready in full PPE.
SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGEMENT
Get a dedicated social media manager to help tailor a brand presence you can be proud of. If you’re tired of doing world class work that no one is seeing, we can help.
WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT
Where do you send potential clients or new hires to show off who you are? A business card and a handshake used to move mountains. We create a growing digital portfolio that lets your prospective clients & hires know that you’re the real deal.

Working with your needs in mind, we tailor make a plan to address the most critical action items you need. Need Hiring ads? That’ll come first.
We allocate resources (Shoot team, Content team, Web team) to get on site, capture content, then share it to the world in the best way possible.
As we learn what works (and what doesn’t) we continue to double down on the things that we’re seeing success from and re-tool the things that haven’t gone as well.
ARE THE VIDEOS EVEN THAT GOOD?
YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO ASK IT LIKE THAT, BUT YES.

FAQ
-
We try to be flexible to work with companies of all sizes. Our basic partnership plans start around $2,500/mo, with an median client investment around $5,000/mo. Enterprise companies with advanced marketing needs can expect to invest $15,000-$20,000/mo.
-
While we can help create individual videos, we are able to reduce our per hour expense by leveraging volume expectations. Short answer - it may cost more to get one project done.
-
Yes, all of our TRADEWIND site shooters have a full kit of PPE that they bring with them to all field shoots. This includes hard hat, glasses, and boots. While we bring gloves, it can make dialing in settings a hassle so our shooters may request an exception on glove coverage. If a site has an atypical PPE requirement, we may need to be provided equipment (HAZMAT Suits, etc.)
-
We operate 3 teams of content shooters so we try to be as available as possible. We appreciate up to 2 weeks of notice to be able to perform any Drone clearances needed. We also provide flexible cancellation policies to our partners for anything up to a 48 hour window before a shoot.
-
We stick to a tight two week turnaround rule. Sometimes simple content can be back as early as 4 work days later. We can also put in a rush request at an additional fee to meet our clients needs.
-
When working first-time clients we will not sign a contract longer than 3 months. This allows both sides to determine if they are enjoying the service before advancing into a longer partnership. At that point we do provide terms that would allow for contract cancellation with a one time closeout fee.
-
Our biggest ask: Think of our content creators as house guests. If it’s not your house, you need to ask permission before we show up.
We need site owner permission before we agree to send a team to shoot.
It is not fair to ask our content team to get yelled at by an unaware superintendant, building owner, security, safety officer, or police officer (we have encountered all of them)
-
For any first time client we require a 50% deposit before we send a team to your site, with the 50% remainder requested before we transfer files after the video has been approved.
For our content partners, we send an invoice at a once a month interval to guarantee services for the month.
-
We trust that you’ve seen our work somewhere before hiring us. We don’t charge our clients to fix technical issues (screen blanking out during an edit) though we do stand by every edit we deliver. If you don’t like content once it’s delivered, we’ll do what we can to make it right.
