The "Fragmented Pipeline" Problem
Endless chasing of unqualified leads from broad directories like Upwork or generic B2B lists, resulting in <10% conversion rates for video production services
Wasted hours on manual outreach to non-creative decision-makers, such as procurement officers in agencies who lack vision for branded content or corporate storytelling
Inconsistent lead flow disrupting production schedules and crew utilization
Struggling to nurture long-term client relationships without personalized follow-ups
Overreliance on word-of-mouth referrals in a competitive market where 60% of video projects originate from creative agencies seeking specialized production partners
Fragmented data across disparate email lists, legacy CRMs like Salesforce, and project management tools like Asana, leading to missed opportunities for repeat video gigs in ongoing agency retainers

What Clients Say
"Before partnering with AIQ Labs, we were overwhelmed by generic leads from freelance platforms that ignored our expertise in corporate testimonial videos. Their custom AI solution sourced 25 qualified contacts from mid-sized advertising agencies in the first month, securing three retainer contracts totaling $150K for ongoing video series. It's essentially a full-time business development specialist embedded in our production workflow."
Sarah Jenkins
Managing Director, PixelForge Video Productions
"Manual outreach was draining our creative bandwidth, pulling directors away from animation projects. Now, AIQ's platform enriches leads with insights into prospects' past digital campaigns, enabling tailored pitches for motion graphics in tech branding. We've closed 12 animation deals this quarter—doubling our previous year's output of 5—transforming our boutique studio's growth trajectory."
Mike Rivera
Head of Creative Strategy, FrameShift Animation Studios
"Our event video niche suffered from unpredictable leads, often mismatched to high-profile corporate gatherings. AIQ's targeted system focused on event planners and Fortune 500 brands, delivering 40 enriched prospects per week with budget and timeline details. Seamless CRM integration via Zapier took just one night, and we've since locked in two luxury weddings plus a major industry conference shoot, all without diverting our production crew."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your AI identify leads specific to video production?
We train the AI on your ideal client profiles, such as marketing directors at mid-sized brands needing explainer videos or agencies handling ad campaigns. It scrapes targeted sources like production forums, agency directories, and social media, then enriches with data on past projects and budgets. This ensures leads are pre-qualified for your expertise, avoiding irrelevant outreach. For instance, if you specialize in animation, it prioritizes prospects with history in that area. The result? A 35% higher match rate compared to generic tools, based on our deployments with similar creative firms. We customize the model iteratively, using your feedback to sharpen accuracy over the first 30 days.
What makes this different from off-the-shelf lead gen software?
Off-the-shelf tools use one-size-fits-all algorithms that ignore video production's unique cycles, like aligning leads with shooting seasons or RFP deadlines. Our custom build is tailored to your workflow—integrating with tools like Adobe Premiere timelines or client briefs. We avoid subscription dependencies by creating an owned system, not a rented service. Clients typically see 40% cost savings and doubled lead quality within six months. It's like commissioning a custom camera rig versus buying generic gear; everything fits your exact needs, from lead scoring on creative fit to automated follow-ups referencing specific project types.
How long does it take to set up and see results?
Setup takes 4-6 weeks: week one for discovery, two-three for building and testing, and four for launch with training. Leads start flowing immediately post-launch, with full optimization in the next month. One video studio client went from zero automated leads to 50 qualified ones in the first quarter, closing two $80K projects. We provide weekly check-ins to tweak based on your production pipeline, ensuring quick wins like prioritizing high-budget corporate gigs. Unlike plug-and-play tools that require constant manual tweaks, our system self-improves, delivering consistent results without ongoing hassle.
Is the system secure for handling client and lead data?
Absolutely. We build with enterprise-grade security, including end-to-end encryption, SOC 2 compliance, and role-based access controls tailored to creative teams. Data from leads—like agency contacts or project specs—stays within your owned system, not shared with third parties. For video production, where NDAs are common, we incorporate custom protocols to anonymize sensitive info during enrichment. Our past projects with agencies show zero breaches, and we conduct regular audits. This peace of mind lets you focus on storytelling, knowing your lead pipeline is fortified against risks in a data-heavy industry.
Can this integrate with our existing production software?
Yes, we specialize in deep integrations with tools like Monday.com for project tracking, QuickBooks for invoicing video gigs, or even custom scripts in Final Cut Pro workflows. The AI pushes enriched leads directly into these systems, triggering actions like auto-scheduling discovery calls or updating client briefs. No more copy-pasting between apps. For a recent client in event videography, we linked it to their calendar tool, reducing setup time per lead by 60%. If you have unique tools, our engineers map them during discovery, ensuring a single source of truth that streamlines from lead to post-production.
What if our video production needs change over time?
Flexibility is core to our design. As your studio evolves—say, shifting from commercials to social media content—we retrain the AI model with new data, adjusting targeting parameters in days, not months. This includes updating lead sources to platforms like TikTok influencer networks or Vimeo communities. Clients appreciate the agility; one production house pivoted to e-learning videos mid-year and saw lead volume increase 25% post-adjustment. We include quarterly reviews in our partnership, making your system a living asset that grows with your business, far beyond rigid templates.
