Create a :45 video featuring Booyah Advertising, a Denver based agency, that has all the capabilities of a larger agency while providing nimble, personalized service by straightforward experts. 

Booyah Advertising blends the highest level of digital expertise and technical knowledge with staff focused on cultivating strong relationships with their clients and colleagues alike. 

Booyah thrives when working with mid to large size enterprises who have grown weary of large bureaucratic agencies. The primary goal of this project is to create a :45 live action video with some use of motion graphics that drives senior marketing leaders to contact Booyah and learn how their straightforward and transparent partnership will help drive their business forward. One of their main value props is that, while they wield automation tools and technology to maximize their campaigns’ effectiveness, the human element and their people add an extra layer of oversight and innovation that helps their strategies excel. They don’t have an over-reliance on technology.

Today more than ever businesses are looking to consolidate their many marketing partners, therefore your pitch should convey Booyah as a collaborative one-stop-shop that utilizes the best aspects of technology while emphasizing a personalized approach. Feel free to put the Booyah name front and center as they consider it a great way to get people's attention; however, they still want to ensure that all messaging incorporates their dedication to being a valuable, insightful and nimble partner.

This in not mandatory but, Booyah does have the capability to film some limited live action footage of their offices and employees, which should serve mostly as B-Roll, but they're open to creative suggestions if you'd like to incorporate this into your pitch. You may provide creative direction for that footage if you're greenlit. That said, you will not be required to film on location at Booyah's offices, and there is not any existing footage that you can review.

Shooting live action or stop motion? Our priority is ensuring everyone's safety, and we're now requiring a COVID safety protocol plan for all relevant productions. Please review our COVID-19 Production Safety Guide and check federal, state, and local rules before and during your shoot to make sure your on-set protocols are up to date. We're working hard to keep people working during this extraordinary time, and you should ensure your submission is executable within the anticipated timeline and budget, while also ensuring everyone's safety.

They serve their prospects and clients by distilling complex ideas into actionable strategies that will aid their marketing efforts. It’s Booyah's job to wade through the complex and ever-changing digital landscape to give attendees digestible, concrete recommendations for how to approach or adapt their digital marketing strategies. 

Booyah is a people-first organization that prioritizes culture and employee fulfillment; in 2020 they were named the #1 Small Workplaces by The Denver Post, #6 on Outsides Best Places to Work list, and an honoree on Inc.’s Best Places to Work list.

Colorado’s mountains and sunshine being just a few examples.
