Commercials can really solidify your brand.
Only 30 seconds is what it takes to tell a story.
When you realize the capabilities of what a commercial can do in terms of brand building, that's when you start viewing your brand in a different light.
You start looking ahead instead of what the next step is you need to take.
Commercials create impact.
If you are interested in hearing more about the content packages that I made specifically to help your brand create impact, message "Content" and let's get started today. 📍
It’s time for Formal Introduction Friday!
My name is Ray. I started Manta Team Productions in 2019 as a way to pursue my videography full time.
With a background in graphic design and email marketing, I wanted to find a way to incorporate that into what I was doing, along with producing video content for businesses.
Along the way what I realized I really wanted to do was help businesses grow visually with their brand, not just produce video content they can use.
That is when I created content packages specifically for businesses to thrive on visual platforms like Instagram.
If you are interested in hearing more about the content packages I’ve created, I would love to talk to you about them!
Send me a DM mentioning the content packages, and let’s get started on your brand’s content journey! 📍
A brand by nature is larger than the some of all of it’s parts. 🧮
So why not expand your product beyond its physical characteristics?
What key features can you highlight and BUILD upon?
What do you want to not only portray but CONVEY through your content?
Are you a brand that colors outside the lines?

Let’s start your journey to better content today 📍
Featured product
Turning your product into a form of art is a great way for the potential client to look at it thru a different lens 🕶
It’s essentially what draws people in to their phone in the first place.
If everyone just wanted to see things that they would use IRL, wouldn’t they just go to that place where the said product is located? (Ex. the store?)
I believe that if the content resembles a real life setting too much, then it won’t make much impact on the viewer.
No, on social media, people want to be dazzled, awe-inspired, and entertained.
They want to escape their own reality.
They want to see “the next new thing,” whether they realize it or not.
That’s why they keep coming back…

Here’s to the new year! ✨
Thankful for the clients I’ve gotten to work with and helped with content for their business.
Looking forward to what is in store for 2023!

New Year could mean new you!

Let’s start the new year off right on your journey to better content. ✴️
The year is 1992.
-
Red sweaters were IN 😎
-
The influencers I followed on a daily basis were my family and the entire cast of Sesame Street.
-
My favorite social platform was the Super Nintendo.
-
The only advertising content I consumed were tv commercials and the back of cereal boxes.
-
But also…
-
During this time, having a website for your business was the equivalent of having a blue check on Instagram.
-
If you wanted to communicate with someone, you either called their house or actually went over to check up on them.
-
Or, if you were fancy, you had a beeper to page someone.
-
You couldn’t pinch any photos to zoom in.
-
In fact, you had to wait no less than 24 hours to see them. And YOU were probably the only person who ever did.
-
-
A lot has changed over the past 30 years.
-
While we don’t know what the future holds or what’s next in terms of how we communicate with each other…
-
We do know that social media has made it’s way in and here to stay.
-
Why try to fight against the wave when you could be surfing on top of it? 🌊
-
If you are interested in working together to create EPIC content for your brand, DM me with the word “CONTENT” to start the journey of what that content will look like for you and your brand. 📍

Place your product in an abstract setting, and see what it’ll do.
When you think you have an idea about where it will take you, that’s when you know you haven’t thought big enough.
Product:
🔷🔹🔷
When you post eye-catching content, it’s not only your brand that benefits.
You are showing your potential customers a work of art that they can enjoy, aside from making a deeper connection to your product along with your brand.
🔷🔹🔷
Speak the language of the people.
In a digital world, why not turn your product into digital art? 🚧
Featured:
Designed a logo for a local streamer.
Your logo is your first point of contact with many of your viewers and potential clients/customers.
They may be introduced to your brand through your logo well before they come in contact with YOU.
Keep your brand fresh and relatable with a logo that will resonate with your audience and purpose.
🔷🔹🔷
When you forget that you have a entire PANORAMA of NYC taken from inside NYC on your phone…
🔷🔹🔷
Are you presenting your product as something that is the potential customer’s for the taking?
When done correctly, product photos should make the viewer feel like the product is on the “shelf” ready to be put into their “cart.”
It shouldn’t make them feel like they are on the outside looking in to your product.
It should feel as though they are only one click away from getting your product into their lives.

You put in the hard work, now it’s time to show off your brand!
Want to make your brand larger than life? I’ve put together content kits to help you show off your product in style and add next level content to your business!
If you are interested in any of the Content Kits I have, DM me with the word “CONTENT” to learn more.
🔷🔹🔷
Everything you post is a form of communication.
Everything you post is saying, or not saying, something about your brand. Whether you realize it or not.
In daily conversation, only about 7% of what is communicated is verbal, or through the words we use.
That means that 93% of all communication is NON-verbal.
What is it you are saying, before anybody even reads the caption that you think will “make” your brand?
🔷🔹🔷
Need studio photos?
Professional photos for your personal brand are essential if you want to build a platform for yourself.
It shows your audience that you are serious about this endeavor that you are on, while showcasing a little bit of personality too.

I shall call this one, New Jersey Foliage in November 🍁🍂🍃
🔷🔹🔷
Making your product is only half the battle. Getting it integrated into the lives of your potential customers is another story.
Showcasing your product with eye-catching content is a great way to have your product stand out and get your potential customers thinking about how they can incorporate it into their daily lives.
🔷🔹🔷
When you make quality a priority, that’s when change happens.
Because when you focus your attention on delivering the best, you are by default setting the bar HIGHER. Not just for yourself, but for everyone else around you as well.
It’s like this…when you get one good grade on your report card, you are congratulated, right? And some of your friends might even poke fun at the fact that you are an “overachiever.”
But what happens when you continually get good grades? You become the person THAT GETS GOOD GRADES. You set the bar higher, not just for you, but for your classmates as well. They have no choice but to accommodate you and your great-ness into their lives.
When you continually deliver, that’s when you start to change the way things are done. That’s when people start to follow you, not in the social media way but in the “life” way.
And when someone follows you, that means you are their LEADER. They look to you for leadership in one area of their life, even if it just means getting to the position you are in now.

Adding simple elements to your product shots can do wonders for your brand.
Doing so can create an “alternate reality” effect while highlighting what makes your product stand out, including key features and brand colors. 🌊⚡️

✌️
You put so much effort into your business. You make sure the packaging is perfect and the product is top quality. You put systems in place to make sure that your business runs smoothly and efficiently.
And then, you just…post any content so you show your face on social media.
That’s like…making sure you eat right, exercise, whiten your teeth, get the haircut, and then showing up to a gala ball in sweats and a t-shirt.
Imagine social media as a party where EVERYONE is going to attend.
It doesn’t matter if you have the greatest product on the planet. If you aren’t dressed to impress, nobody is going to take you seriously.
It’s time to take your content, and your brand, seriously.
Get your FREE Content Clean-Up Checklist through the link in the bio, where there are steps you can take right away to make sure you are showing up on social media the right way.

Having video content for your brand not only showcases what your business has to offer, it also engages potential customers more than photo alone while also establishing your brand's online presence.
Remember, it’ll all be worth it when you reach the top. Every struggle will be worth it, every setback will be forgotten.
Remember that there’s a higher place than where you’re standing now if you choose to keep going, keep pushing through, and not take the easy road down.
Have faith in the process, and just keep moving forward. 🏔🚩

They say in jiu-jitsu that there is no losing. You either win… or you learn. If you are on a high point, enjoy it. If you are in a low, learn from it.
Besides, life would be pretty boring if all you did was get what you want.
Through all the ups and downs, it’s all part of the same ride…so might as well enjoy it! 🎡🎢🙌

Just like the director, you as the business owner are in charge of what is in view for your brand.
And just like everything within a movie scene can and will be associated with the movie as a whole, everything that your brand posts can AND will be linked back to your brand.
This is especially true the higher you climb, the more influence you have, and the greater the quality of the content that you post. Because the higher you climb, the more people will be looking UP to you.🎈🏔
