Video production & marketing

Strategy first. Always.

We plan the marketing that drives the work, from strategy and storytelling to production and distribution. Honey Cut Studios is based in Saskatoon.

What we do

Every video we create has a purpose.

Strategy, production, and a plan for getting it seen. Video production is our specialty. The planning around it is what makes us different.

Plan your marketing

We'll build your plan for a single campaign, a quarter, or an entire year, including your goals, audiences, channels, calendar and budget.

Produce your assets

One planned shoot provides the footage to create all the assets you need, from brand video and ads to social cutdowns. Every piece designed to work across your channels.

What we produce

Get them seen

We build a plan that tells you where every asset goes, when, and who it's for, with captions written for each channel and all the visuals on hand. Your team will know exactly how to use every asset.

Any of this sound familiar?

Most clients start a conversation with us around one of these problems. Take a look and see if you can find yourself.

“We can’t find people.”

Recruitment campaigns built around the people already working for you.

“We don’t have a plan for next year.”

We build it with you. Goals, audiences, channels, calendar, budget.

“We’re posting and nothing’s happening.”

We work out who it’s for, then rebuild the calendar around what actually moves them.

“People don’t get what we do.”

We sharpen the message until a stranger can repeat it back, then put it everywhere you show up.

“We made a video and it’s just sitting there.”

We plan where it lives, who sees it, and what comes next.

“We keep losing to bigger-looking competitors.”

Brand and video that makes you look like the company you already are.

“We can’t tell if any of it’s working.”

We set what success looks like before anything gets made.

“Our marketing person is drowning.”

We join the team. Planning, calendars, copy, creative direction, production.

Recent projects

Take a look at these projects and the problem each one was built to fix.

Northern Lights School Division teacher recruitment campaign video

Northern Lights School Division

“We can’t find teachers.”

They asked for another recruitment video. We built a campaign instead: a purpose-built landing page, testimonials from teachers already working there, and digital ads running across Saskatchewan and into Eastern Canada. Over five months, website visits climbed from a couple hundred to several thousand, and applications came in from people who named the campaign. A second one is in preproduction.

NSBA animated sustainability explainer series

NSBA

“Our members find this topic dry and political.”

Sustainability was a subject their membership did not want to hear about. We built animated explainers that reframed ESG around what members actually gain, then handed over a rollout guide covering channels, post copy, a content calendar and boosting instructions. Member response has been strongly positive.

Saskatchewan Health Authority critical care nurse recruitment film

Saskatchewan Health Authority

“Nobody sees what this work really is.”

Critical care nursing is hard to explain and harder to recruit for. We made something cinematic that held both the intensity of the work and the compassion behind it. Thousands of views, staff telling the client it made them cry, and follow-up work with the same team.

Common questions

What does Honey Cut Studios do?

We plan marketing and produce the work the plan calls for. That might be a single campaign, a quarter, or your whole year. We build the strategy, make the video and the assets, and hand over a plan for where every piece goes and when.

Do you only make video?

Production is our specialty and it anchors most of what we do. Around it we build marketing plans, campaign and content strategy, social rollout guides and paid ad campaigns. The plan covers your whole marketing picture, including the channels we don't produce for. See the full list of services.
