Video production in Columbus
A city this new still wants something true.
Columbus adds people and new businesses every season, and the feed fills up fast. What holds attention is the real story, told well, with a plan to carry one shoot across every place it needs to run, long after launch.
Where local video goes wrong
- A crew that has never met your customers
- Stock and templates that could be any city
- One video, and no plan for where it runs
- Beautiful footage that never earns its keep
How we work
Close to home, made to run.
We listen first, then shoot on location in Columbus with a director on set and time to find the real moment. What comes back is a film, a library, and every cutdown the plan needs.
01
Listen first
Learn the business, the people and what's at stake, then build the story and the script around it.
02
On location
Director-led doc, narrative, or hybrid, shot across Short North, German Village, Downtown, Dublin, with stills for the campaign too.
03
Edit, color, sound
Finished in-house with patience, then cut for every place it runs, from a :06 bumper to a full spot.
04
Put it to work
We don't hand off a file and walk away. The work runs across your channels, from Meta ads to YouTube and connected TV, and gets measured, not shelved.
Who it’s for
What we shoot in Columbus.
Every market has its own mix. Here's the work we make most across Central Ohio. If there's a story worth telling, we'd like to hear it.
Insurance & finance
Columbus runs on it. Brand, culture, and recruitment video for the carriers and fintechs headquartered here.
Retail & e-commerce
Launch films, product stories, and social cutdowns made to be watched, and to sell.
Tech & startups
Founder stories and explainers that give a young company the weight it has earned.
Higher ed & sports
A college town on a national stage. One day on campus or at the field, cut into a year of work.
Home-services brands
The trades growing alongside the suburbs. Shot on real Central Ohio job sites.
In their words
From the people we've made work for.
The team at Wilbur have been great! We've used multiple marketing agencies for our business but none of them have ever given us as much data or paid as much attention to the details. They are not a "set it and forget it" kind of team. They keep working to make things better, and it's working!
This is a great company to work with! Ian is very knowledgeable and professional, his team works tirelessly, and we've seen our business nearly double since working with the Wilbur team. Highly recommend!
On set with the crew
Good questions.
Are you actually based in Columbus?
We're a Cincinnati-based crew, and our team members have experience shooting in and around Columbus, about two hours up I-71. You get the same in-house team and craft; travel for a Columbus shoot is simple and we'll fold it into a clear, up-front quote.
Where in Columbus do you shoot?
Wherever the story lives, on a job site, in a studio, downtown, or out in the suburbs. Our crew members have shot in and around Short North, German Village, Downtown, Dublin, Worthington, and we cover the rest of the metro too. On-location is the default; we bring the gear and the crew to you.
What kinds of video do you make in Columbus?
Brand films, commercials, doc and narrative pieces, product and social content, and internal video like recruitment and training, plus a still library, cutdowns, and platform-specific edits. We work with insurance & finance, retail & e-commerce, tech & startups, and plenty more.
Do you only shoot, or do you handle strategy and media too?
Both. Every shoot starts with strategy and a script built around a goal, and we can hand off finished files or plan and buy the media in-house, across Meta ads, YouTube and connected TV, and the rest of your mix, so the footage actually runs and gets measured.
