VFX studios · Digital marketing

Join the site, the reels and the outreach into one plan for those who award shots.

Digital marketing for a VFX studio is the set of channels that carry its reels and credits to supervisors, producers and overseas firms: the website, search, LinkedIn, email and messaging. GullySales works on how those channels fit together and which are worth the studio's time.

What digital marketing means

Digital marketing is the combined work of search, social media, advertising and website channels running together rather than as separate projects with separate people. GullySales runs these as one connected system so a change in one channel, such as a new offer, is reflected everywhere at once.

For VFX studios

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

  • “Reach is the wrong target”

    A studio sells to a short list of known roles. Broad advertising spends money on viewers who cannot award a shot. The effort belongs with named people on a list and with the places they look when a recommendation needs checking.

  • “Paid advertising has a narrow use here”

    A paid campaign aimed at job titles on LinkedIn can put a reel in front of a producer who has not heard of the studio. It does not replace the introduction or the capability pack. Use it to carry one reel to one list, and stop when that list is covered.

  • “Every channel should point to one bid route”

    A supervisor who finds the studio through LinkedIn, search or an email should land on the same capability pack and bid form. Separate routes with different details confuse the buyer and fill the studio's own inbox with half-formed requests.

  • “Domestic and overseas buyers need separate messages”

    Domestic buyers care about shot type and who else has used the studio. Overseas firms care about security, pipeline and time zones. One plan with two tracks avoids a generic message that suits neither.

What we do

What we deliver for VFX studios.

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

  1. One-page channel plan

    A plan that names each channel, the buyer it reaches, the asset it carries and the person who looks after it.

    Result: Every channel has a buyer, an asset and an owner.

  2. Bid route map

    A diagram showing how a visitor from each channel reaches the capability sheet and the bid form.

    Result: Every channel ends at the same bid form.

  3. Introduction email

    A short email to a named list of supervisors and producers, with the capability sheet and the matching reel.

    Result: Each recipient is a person on the list, not an address bought in bulk.

  4. LinkedIn presence

    A studio page and a set of lead profiles with consistent descriptions and a link to the capability pack.

    Result: A visitor finds the same description on every profile.

  5. Overseas track

    A separate set of pages and notes for foreign producers and services firms.

    Result: Foreign buyers have their own pack and their own page.

  6. Measures sheet

    Bid requests by source, replies to outreach and awards against bids.

    Result: The sheet shows which channel produced which request.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries across channels
  • Cost per enquiry overall
  • Channel mix by contribution

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

Searches your buyers type

These searches show where a VFX studio should be present online.

Who it is for

This is written for these VFX studios.

  • Compositing and cleanup studios for features and series
  • Studios specialising in environments and set extension
  • Creature, character and simulation studios
  • Studios doing advertising VFX and product CGI
  • Roto, paint and prep outsourcing studios
  • Virtual production and LED-stage service providers
  • Studios offering stereo conversion and finishing
  • Boutique studios that supervise on set and deliver in post

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Your reels contain only unreleased work and nothing can be public, so the channels would have nothing to carry.
  • You want to buy broad advertising to reach general audiences, which does not reach the few who award shots.

How it works

How the digital 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 one aim

    We settle what the campaign must achieve, such as enquiries for a launch or footfall for an event, and the date it must be live.

  2. 2

    Check what is ready

    We list the channels you already run, who runs them, and what each can produce in the time available. Anything that cannot be done properly is left out.

  3. 3

    Write the idea and the message sheet

    We draft the one-sentence idea, test it against each planned format, and fix the wording that all channels will copy.

  4. 4

    Brief every channel from the same sheet

    Your agency, freelancer or in-house person receives the message sheet and calendar. Their work is checked against the sheet before it goes out.

  5. 5

    Run on the shared calendar

    Channels go live together. If the offer changes, every channel is changed on the same day from the same sheet.

  6. 6

    Measure as one campaign

    Enquiries and orders are read against the baseline. The reporting schedule is agreed in writing with the scope.

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.

Tell us what you need
Do we need a large budget?
No. The core work is writing, reels and a list, which take time more than money. Paid advertising, if used, is a small addition and is judged against the bid requests it brings.
How will we know it works?
Count bid requests by source and awards against bids. Leads and awards are never promised, but the record shows where requests come from and which channel to drop.
Is paid advertising of any use to a VFX studio?
Only in a narrow way, such as a targeted note to a defined list of producers on one platform. Supervisors find vendors through colleagues and credits, so put effort first into the site, reels and personal outreach before any paid spend.
How should a studio treat domestic and overseas buyers online?
Keep two routes. A domestic buyer wants an introduction and a short call, and an overseas firm wants security, contract terms and time-zone overlap. A shared page that tries to answer both leaves each reader without the part they need.
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.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
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.
