02Donated work — not client work

Good work should do some good.

Some projects mean more than a campaign. We live here, we work here, and we donate video, design and marketing support to organizations doing meaningful work in the community. Nobody pays for it.

The organization: Mount Ida Preservation Group — a Troy charity preserving the Mount Ida neighborhood and giving people one more reason to be in Troy, and to give back to it.
How Vivid helps: We manage their entire social media presence — content, event promotion and the storytelling that turns preservation work into something the community shows up for.

03About Vivid — what we believe

ContentBusinessCommunityAttentionResults

Vivid Imagination is a hands-on video marketing and PR agency built around a simple idea: marketing should actually help move a business forward.

We specialize in video, social media, PR, advertising, event promotion, local visibility and reputation. But we don't believe great marketing happens from behind a desk. We get inside the businesses we represent — filming on location, learning the staff and customers, covering events, developing partnerships and finding the opportunities that never show up on a content calendar.

Our work spans nightlife, restaurants, dessert, retail, cannabis, fitness, product brands, chambers, events and community organizations — proudly serving the 518's small and large-scale businesses, and beyond.

Social is part of the strategy.
Ads are part of the strategy.

Here's what we did.Here's what happened.

Every piece should have a reason for existing.

Dessert · Full media management + PR

Chocolate Bash: from a 2-star Google rating to a neighborhood staple.

ProblemA brand people loved in person that barely existed online. A 2-star Google rating, an inactive feed, and nobody outside the store talking about it.

What we didFull media management with curated, high-quality content built for local audiences. Influencer and micro-influencer campaigns so the brand lived on other people's pages — like this creator ad for a Valentine's Day deal. A review campaign inside the store. And PR with local departments, schools and community organizations, so Chocolate Bash gives back to the neighborhood instead of just selling to it.

ResultGoogle rating from 2.0 to 0. Established online, active with creators, and treated as part of the community — with metrics showing the content reaching the 518 and Capital Region.

05Real people, assigned to your business

Your marketing team should know your name.

When Vivid works with your business, people from our team are assigned to it. You're talking to people who know your staff, your upcoming events, what we've filmed, what's working and what we're trying next.

We'll also work directly with owners and employees — helping people get comfortable on camera, finding the personalities worth featuring, and building recurring content that actually sounds like the business.

06What we do — tap a column to open it

Video. Social + ads.PR + real-world.

How it fits together

The businessis the strategy.

An event becomes a PR opportunity. The PR becomes content. The content becomes ad creative. The ads bring people to the next event. And every one of those roads leads to the same place: people. The ones who show up, leave reviews, post about it and tell someone.

We don't treat these as separate services. Social, ads, Google, PR and in-person marketing are all parts of one thing — and that thing is your business.

07TikTok Shop + live commerce

Selling live?We build the set.

A separate side of what we do, for the brands that need it. Not every business does — but if you want to sell on TikTok Shop or eBay Live, we get you set up: we build your shop, work directly with the platform's team, build the set and the gear, find and train the people on camera, produce the product content, and can fulfill orders from our warehouse.

08Hands-on, on location — and accountable for it

We don'tmarket froma desk.

The best ideas don't come from staring at your Instagram account from an office. They come from understanding the business. We're there to see what's happening, meet the people behind it, cover the events, and find the opportunities that wouldn't show up on a content calendar.

If you don't grow, we're not doing our job.

We care about the views that can actually walk through the door.

A million views from people hundreds of miles away don't help a local business. Views and engagement matter, but we're looking past them toward customers, foot traffic, inquiries, bookings, sales, reviews, event attendance and the reputation people see when they search your name.

Great-looking content isn't enough. If our work isn't contributing to the business, we need to figure out why.
