Television production houses · Content marketing

Publish the notes on how your shows are made that buyers read before they call.

Content marketing for a television production house is the written and filmed material that shows how you make a show, so a buyer who has never met you can judge the house. GullySales works on case notes, format explainers and production write-ups built from work you have done.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What content marketing means

Content marketing is writing articles, guides and pages that answer the questions buyers search before they are ready to enquire. This makes your business visible and trusted before the first call. GullySales plans this content from the first conversation onward, choosing topics that match real search demand rather than guesses.

For television production houses

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “Buyers want to see process, not praise”

    A brand team that has never commissioned a programme does not know what it will be asked to decide. A plain write-up of how a sponsored show moves from brief to script to shoot to edit removes that unknown and makes your house the one that explained it.

  • “Format explainers double as pitch material”

    A clear page on how a reality format runs, with its episode structure and production needs, is read by a researcher and can be forwarded by a programming head. It serves search and the pitch together.

  • “Case notes need the channel's consent”

    Writing about a show for a channel involves what the channel will allow. Ratings, budgets and contract detail belong to the channel. The note can describe the production challenge and your method without any figure that is not yours to share.

  • “Trade news is content too”

    A new writer joining, a unit expanding or a show renewed is news for the people who watch the trade. Left unwritten, it never reaches the readers who would act on it.

What we do

What we deliver for television production houses.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. Format explainer pages

    One explainer for each format you offer, with episode structure, production needs and what the house brings.

    Result: A forwardable page for each format that stands without you in the room.

  2. Production process write-ups

    A plain account of how a show or branded programme is made, from brief to delivery, written for a non-producer.

    Result: An agency planner can read how a project would run before the first call.

  3. Case notes with approvals

    Short notes on past productions, covering the problem and the method, cleared with the channel before publication.

    Result: Every note carries a record of who approved it.

  4. Interviews with writers and directors

    Short conversations with your creative leads about craft, for the website and for trade readers.

    Result: Profiles that tie each show to the person behind it.

  5. A content plan by buyer

    A plan that assigns each piece to a reader: programming head, platform buyer or agency planner.

    Result: Every piece has a named reader and a place where that reader will find it.

How the result is measured

  • Pages published
  • Organic traffic
  • Enquiries from content pages

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Posts and pieces to plan

Write the notes on how a show is made that a buyer reads before a meeting.

How a daily serial is scheduled
A plain account of the writing, shoot and edit pipeline for a long-running show, with a real production's structure described. It reassures a channel about delivery.
What a format note contains
A walk through the one-page concept note layout the house uses, with a sample. It doubles as a leave-behind and shows how clearly you think.
Adapting an international format for India
A piece on what changes when a licensed show is localised, from language to set to casting. Needs an adapted show to point to and the licensor's consent to mention it.
Briefing a production house for a brand programme
A guide for an agency planner on what to prepare before asking for a sample and a rough cost. It draws the right briefs to you and filters the vague ones.
A regional-language production explained
A note on working in a regional language, from writers to dubbing to channel norms, written by someone who has done it. A regional buyer reads it as proof of fit.

Who it is for

This is written for these television production houses.

  • Fiction serial and daily soap production houses
  • Reality and game-show format producers
  • News and current-affairs programme producers
  • Non-fiction and documentary series producers
  • Regional-language channel suppliers
  • Branded-content and corporate-programme producers
  • Format adaptation houses that localise international shows

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You have no one with time to write, and the pieces would be commissioned from an outsider who has never been on a floor.
  • The house cannot name a single completed production to anchor a piece, so the writing would stay abstract.
  • You expect articles to bring in a commission without a pitch from a programming head behind them.

How it works

How the content marketing work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Agree the plan

    Topics and formats come from the content strategy and the buyer-question list. The volume goes into the written scope, agreed with you, not into a number quoted on a call.

  2. 2

    Brief and draft

    Each piece starts from its one-page brief and a short conversation with your technical person, recorded if they allow it, so the draft uses their words.

  3. 3

    Check the facts

    Your person marks the draft for accuracy and we correct it. Regulated subjects also go to your own adviser, because restrictions on claims apply to articles as much as to advertisements.

  4. 4

    Publish and distribute

    The piece goes live on your site, then out through the channels where your buyers already are.

  5. 5

    Read the enquiries and adjust

    Results are reported against the baseline recorded before work began. Topics that brought readers but no enquiries are changed or dropped. How often you are reported to is agreed in writing.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Can we write about a show that is still on air?
Yes, within what the channel allows. Describe the craft and the production approach, and leave out ratings, budgets and plot details the channel has not released. When in doubt, send the draft to the channel first.
Who writes the pieces?
GullySales drafts from conversations with your team, and your producers approve each piece. Creative claims, titles and rights stay with you.
Should the pieces name the channels we work with?
Only with the channel's consent. Commissioning agreements limit what a supplier may say about a show or a channel, so ask the programming team before a piece names them and, where unsure, describe the work without the name.
How long should a piece be?
As long as the subject needs and no longer. A buyer reading before a meeting wants a clear process in a few paragraphs, with a sample attached. A short piece with one real example reads better than a long essay without one.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
