Add Scalable Video Production to Your Services
Video production agencies can develop new recurring revenue by packaging AI-driven video tools into managed services. Instead of focusing solely on project-based location shoots, your agency can offer repeatable, scalable content production. This might involve providing a client's marketing or HR department with a consistent supply of presenter videos for internal announcements, training modules, or social media campaigns. By managing the underlying software and quality control, you establish a retainer-based relationship, moving beyond the traditional one-off project cycle and integrating your agency more deeply into client operations.
The primary opportunities are in areas where clients require a high volume of consistent, template-driven content that is difficult or cost-prohibitive to produce with conventional methods. This includes corporate communications, compliance training, product explainers, and personalised sales outreach. By productising these offerings, you create a distinct service catalogue that complements your core high-end production work. Your agency brings its expertise in scripting, brand consistency, and quality control to the process, ensuring the final output meets client standards while using a more efficient production model for specific use cases.
Relevant AutoThink Products for Video Agencies
AutoPersonify is designed for agencies looking to offer digital-twin video services. The platform allows you to create a digital likeness of a client's chosen presenter, with consent built into the workflow. Once the twin is created, your agency can generate new presenter videos simply by providing a script. This is suited for producing content at scale, such as internal communications, staff training, or marketing updates. The software includes agency workspaces to manage multiple client projects, enabling you to deliver repeatable video content as a managed service.
AutoScribble provides a direct route to offering animated explainer videos. Your agency can take client materials, such as technical documents, sales presentations, or blog posts, and use the software to convert them into clear, animated visual content. This creates a valuable deliverable for clients who need to simplify complex information for their audience. Like AutoPersonify, AutoScribble is built to support ongoing content packages, allowing you to build a service that turns a client’s existing information assets into a steady stream of video content. Agency-focused features for managing multiple clients continue to be developed.
Implementation and Service Delivery
Our primary model for video production agencies is 'Deliver'. In this approach, your agency uses AutoThink software as an internal tool to produce and deliver finished video assets for your clients. You are not reselling the software itself, but rather a managed service powered by it. This puts your agency in control of quality, branding, and the client relationship. You handle the setup, such as creating a digital twin in AutoPersonify or defining animation styles in AutoScribble, and then manage the ongoing production of content based on client briefs. This model fits directly into a monthly retainer structure.
The engagement begins with scoping the client’s need and defining the service. For AutoPersonify, this includes a structured process for capturing the data required to build the digital twin and securing the presenter's consent. For AutoScribble, it involves establishing brand guidelines, colour palettes, and illustration styles. Your team manages the entire technical and production workflow, delivering final video files to the client for their use. This approach positions your agency as the strategic partner, using specialist tools to achieve client objectives efficiently without exposing the client to the complexities of the software.
Example Engagement: Monthly Training Videos
A corporate client needs to produce a weekly five-minute health and safety training video for its distributed workforce. Traditional production is too slow and expensive. Your agency proposes a 'Managed Presenter' service using AutoPersonify. The process starts with a one-off setup fee covering the creation of a digital twin of the client’s Head of HR. This involves a single recording session with the individual, managed by your team to ensure quality, and securing their explicit consent for the use of their likeness in this context.
With the digital twin established, the service moves to a monthly retainer. Each week, the client provides your team with the script for that week's training video. Your production team inputs the script into AutoPersonify, generates the video, adds client-specific branding, title cards, and any required b-roll footage, and performs a quality check. The final video file is delivered to the client for distribution through their internal learning management system. Your agency bills a recurring monthly fee for managing this entire workflow, providing the client with predictable costs and a consistent, reliable output.
Pipeline: Future Creative Fulfilment Services
AutoThink is developing new services to further support creative and production agencies. One planned service is Nippy Brands, which is being designed to provide creative fulfilment capacity. The intention is to offer reliable design and copywriting resources that agencies can use to expand their delivery capabilities for client projects without increasing permanent headcount. This service is currently in the development phase and is not yet available. We are actively seeking input from agencies on how such a service could best support their workflows and client demands.
Agencies interested in the potential of on-demand creative capacity are invited to register their interest in Nippy Brands. Early conversations help us shape the final service to meet the practical needs of the industry. Discussions would centre on potential workflows, types of creative assets required, and how such a service would integrate with existing agency processes for briefing and review. There is no commitment required; registering interest ensures you are kept informed of development milestones and opportunities to participate in future pilot programmes.
