“We need a short video” is not a production brief. It might mean a one-camera interview or a multi-location campaign with talent, cutdowns and paid-media licensing. The difference matters long before the quote. Better agency new business starts with understanding whether the opportunity fits your capabilities and commercial model.
Explore Mosai for agencies and how agency opportunities are created.
What makes a production enquiry worth pursuing?
A qualified opportunity has a plausible business goal, a decision process and enough scope to assess feasibility. Not every buyer will arrive with a polished brief. Your job is to establish whether the project can become a clear, workable engagement.
Start with the essentials: audience, purpose, channels, timing and decision-maker.
Seven questions before you quote
What is the business objective?
A brand film, recruitment piece, product explainer and performance ad require different creative approaches. Ask what the buyer needs the content to achieve and how it will be used.
What does production involve?
Clarify filming locations, shoot days, talent, animation, sound, equipment, permits and post-production complexity. Ask whether the client has existing footage or needs a full concept-to-delivery service.
What are the deliverables?
List master edits, aspect ratios, cutdowns, captions, languages, motion graphics and review rounds. A single hero film with multiple platform adaptations is a different scope from one finished edit.
Is there a workable budget?
An indicative range helps both sides choose the right level of ambition. If no budget exists yet, discuss production tiers and the trade-offs rather than producing a detailed speculative treatment.
Is the schedule realistic?
Check launch dates, internal reviews, approvals and production dependencies. Rush timelines affect staffing, cost and creative options.
What rights are required?
Confirm usage territories, duration, paid advertising, music, performers, stock assets and raw-footage access. Usage rights should be explicit in the proposal.
Who decides?
Find out who owns the budget, who signs off creative and whether the buyer is comparing several production companies. This shapes how much discovery is appropriate before a formal pitch.
Opportunity-fit scorecard
| Dimension | Strong signal | Follow-up needed |
|---|---|---|
| Objective | Clear audience and use case | Broad creative ambition only |
| Budget | Indicative range fits the work | No willingness to discuss spend |
| Timing | Defined milestones and approvals | Urgent delivery with unclear decisions |
| Scope | Deliverables and usage can be bounded | Unlimited revisions implied |
| Capability | Work matches your production strengths | Major unfamiliar requirements |
Use the scorecard to guide a conversation, not as an automatic rejection tool. Early-stage buyers can become strong clients when expectations are made explicit.
Protect your pitch effort
Set a sensible boundary between a proposal and free creative development. If the buyer needs strategy, scripting or substantial concept exploration before scope can be priced, consider a paid discovery phase.
Compare quotes on the same basis: pre-production, shoot, editing, revisions, subtitles, licensing and delivery formats. Hidden assumptions tend to surface at the least convenient moment.
And be prepared to say no. A poorly matched project can absorb senior time and damage the relationship. Referring specialist work to a trusted collaborator may be a better commercial decision.
