Strategic Video Production in Sydney

So, you want to arrest attention?


If you’ve got a brand/product/service story to tell, we’re a crew of story-first, strategy-led bandits.


If you’re going after big results, then you need to bring in the big guns. 

Video can sometimes give you an edge over photography and really capture not just a moment in time, but a whole story. 

And as such, it is the perfect way to showcase your product/service and really drive home the benefits to consumers. 

At Heist, we know the power of video and its ability to capture real human stories. And we have used it to great effect to bring our client’s business to life and help them communicate their brand stories. Our video projects always start with the end in mind. What do you need to accomplish? Who do you need to speak to? Where do we hide the smoking gun? And then we create a strategy that speaks to how your brand videos will capture attention, engage the right audiences, and ultimately drive results faster than a getaway car.

So, if you want to give your brand the freedom of video, then start planning your next heist with us.

And just in case you’ve been hiding in an underground bunker, here is why companies in the know are using video:

  • To take attention hostage: Videos bring in the big guns: the combination of visuals, sound, and storytelling, and hold attention hostage more effectively than any other type of content.

  • To make an offer the audience can’t refuse: Consumers are more likely to make a purchase after watching a video about a product or service. 82% of people have been convinced to buy a product or service by watching a video.

  • To hack SEO: The internet police (aka search engines) favour video content, so websites that include videos are more likely to rank higher in search results, which means increased visibility and traffic.

  • One tool, many tricks: Videos can be used across various platforms and for different purposes – from website landing pages and social media channels to email marketing and online advertisements.
