Frequently asked questions

What people
ask first.

It depends on the mix. A website and a video shoot are scoped as projects; SEO, hosting and care run monthly. The first conversation ends with a written quote, not a range on a slide.

Most builds run 8 to 24 weeks, depending on size. There are five phases (discovery and planning, design, development, testing and launch, then training and handoff), and you review and approve each one before the next starts.

It depends on scope. A focused single film moves quickly; a multi-format content shoot takes longer to plan and edit. We set the timeline and the approval gates (concept, script, footage, cut) before we start.

It starts with a 30-minute discovery call, then a written proposal with the scope and cost before any work begins.

Marks Media is based in Kansas City, St. Joseph and St. Louis, Missouri, and also serves Chicago and Nashville. Tell us where your story happens and we'll plan the shoot around it.

How we work

Four steps.
Same crew start to finish.

  1. Listen

    Discovery meetings with you and your leadership: your goals, your customers, your competitors and what success looks like in six to twelve months.

  2. Diagnose

    We find the real constraint and turn it into a few clear strategies, each with a concept and a budget, so you can weigh them side by side.

  3. Execute

    Our video, design, web and digital teams build the marketing tools, from sales materials and video to your website, with your approval on every piece.

  4. Retain

    One contract is a win. Ten years of renewals is the goal. We report every month and plan the next move with you.
