Char Media works with moto, snow, and outdoor brands — gear, parts, bikes, sleds, apparel, retail, drinks. If the product gets used outside, I'll shoot it outside.
Not a fit: brands who need a studio, a full crew, or 40 SKUs shot on white seamless. That's a different company, and I'll tell you which one.
Find out if this works before you commit to a campaign.
One shoot day, one location, full kit. I show up, we shoot the product doing its job, and you get back a hero cut plus the vertical set your ads actually run on. No crew invoice, no three-week pre-production. No creative brief needed on your end — no in-house coordination. You approve a concept; I handle the rest.
Content your audience trusts because it isn't obviously an ad.
Native, first-person, rider-shot content made by athletes who genuinely ride your category — not a UGC marketplace actor holding your product in a kitchen. I brief the athlete, direct the shoot, and hand you a batch built for paid social, not a highlight reel.
One shoot, every placement covered — nothing shot twice.
Multi-day, multi-location. Product launches, season openers, athlete-led campaigns. Built as one story and delivered as fifteen assets, because that's how it actually gets used.
So you can decide whether to spend twenty minutes talking to me.
Every number above is a floor, not a quote. Scope, travel, athlete fees, and usage rights move it. Tell me the budget you actually have and I'll tell you straight whether it buys what you want — including when it doesn't.
If a Content Day doesn't produce at least 6 usable, ad-ready assets, I reshoot at no charge — once, no questions.
If a Campaign doesn't produce at least 8 usable, ad-ready assets from the fifteen, I reshoot the affected days at no charge — once, no questions.
Solo means real limits on how many of these I take on — booking your next available window.
Add-on only, and only where I can see the numbers. Meta buying against the content I shot, on a base plus a percentage of the revenue lift over an agreed baseline.
It requires clean tracking on your side. If you don't have it, don't buy this yet — I'll tell you what to fix first.
Correct. Char Media took its first brand work in 2025 and I'm not padding the wall with projects I didn't lead. That's exactly what the Content Day is for — spend one day's budget instead of a campaign's, and judge the footage instead of the logos.
You don't, fully — nobody does before the first shoot. What you get instead: the whole process published above before you talk to me, and a guarantee on the Content Day so the downside is capped at zero. If it doesn't produce usable assets, I reshoot free.
On-site, yes — I shoot solo by design, and it's why the day rate is what it is. Post runs through a dedicated editor. Where a shoot genuinely needs a second body, I bring one and it's in the scope. I also cap how much I take on, which is the honest reason I sometimes say no.
The finals, outright, in perpetuity, all placements. Raw footage available on request. I keep the right to show the work in my own portfolio — if your launch is under embargo, say so and I'll hold it.
Two rounds of revisions are included on everything. If you need a third, we'll talk rather than invoice.
Neither is half of moto. Travel is billed at cost, and I'm in SoCal on scheduled windows — get on one and you split the travel with the other brands in that block.
Snow runs December to March. Desert runs October to May. Utah moto runs April to October. If you want footage in a season, you book before it starts, not during.
No pitch. I look at what you're already posting, tell you what's working, and tell you the one thing I'd change first. If that's all you ever take from me, fine.
Five a month. I record the teardowns myself, so that's the real ceiling.
Book a Content Day and judge the footage. Or take the free consult first — I'll tell you what I'd change whether or not you ever hire me.
