Ongoing video partnerships at We Stream
A clear explanation of how ongoing video partnerships help growing companies stay consistent across events, interviews, updates, and social content - without the stress of hiring new freelancers every time
Most teams reach a point where one-off shoots stop working.
There’s too much happening across the year - events, interviews, product updates, hiring, LinkedIn content - and bringing in a new freelancer every time becomes exhausting. The style changes. The message drifts. Internal teams waste hours explaining the same things again and again.
An ongoing video partnership solves this in a simple, predictable way. It’s steady monthly or quarterly support from the same team, built to keep your communication aligned across the year. Many companies think of this as a corporate video partnership - calm, consistent, and designed for long-term clarity.

No onboarding each time. No chaos. Just content that fits your company’s rhythm
What an ongoing partnership actually is
It’s not a “package”.
It’s a relationship where the same team handles your filming days, interviews, events, and social content throughout the year — the video retainer equivalent of having an external department you can rely on.
You decide the cadence - monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly - and we support the stories that actually matter: founder interviews, client stories, internal culture, event coverage, product updates, behind-the-scenes content, and anything your marketing team wants to push live quickly.
The point isn’t volume. It’s consistency and clarity.

Why companies choose ongoing support
Growing brands often deal with the same pressure points. Their content starts to feel inconsistent because too many freelancers have shaped it. Marketing teams spend more time explaining processes than producing actual work. Founders want order instead of reacting to last-minute requests. Events appear on the calendar without a reliable team already familiar with the brand. Weekly social content becomes a struggle because nobody has the capacity to handle it. Interviews take longer than they should because every new videographer needs time to understand the company. Internal communication loses clarity when there isn’t one visual language holding everything together.
None of this is dramatic, but it slowly drains time and weakens the message. A long-term partnership removes that friction.

A long-term partnership
Once the same team films you regularly, the process becomes cleaner, faster, and far easier to manage.
What you actually get out of it
This isn’t about quantity of content.
It’s about having a steady, trustworthy video presence that supports your business across the year.
The biggest gain is mental space.
You make fewer decisions because the team already understands your standards, your tone, and your pace. The whole content machine feels lighter.
It’s about having a steady, trustworthy video presence that supports your business across the year.
- Clients in ongoing partnerships usually notice that filming days become shorter and calmer, and interviews feel far more natural because the relationship is already there. Visuals start to match across every asset, the narrative stays consistent, and turnaround becomes something they can rely on. Social content stops being a last-minute scramble. Sales teams suddenly have material that’s clear and ready to share. Events run easier because the video team already understands what matters, and internal communication becomes smoother because everyone speaks from the same story.

How this works in real partnerships
Fast Growth Icons - 4 Years of evolving visual identity
We’ve filmed their events in London, Berlin, Stockholm, and Manchester for four years straight. Across that time, the style developed into something distinct - clean, confident, detailed.
Because the relationship is long-term, we already understand how the organiser prefers the room to feel and which framing gives the panels a strong presence. We know how to make the venue look full even during quieter moments, how many photos they need from each session, and which angles their audience responds to. This also helps us keep the tone consistent across new locations, no matter where the event takes place.
Every event feels familiar. There’s no briefing each time. The visuals look like the same brand year after year.

Operation relocation - consistent YouTube production
The routine is smooth: we know the best angle for the presenter, when the teleprompter will help and when it won’t, what lighting setup works in their space, and which gear to bring.
We film for them 2-4 times a month
Their team handles the editing themselves, but the raw material we provide is so clean that colour grading is simple, audio stays consistent, footage matches across episodes, and b-roll is already organised. The result is a channel that feels stable and professional because the filming process is predictable and aligned. Communication is clear because everyone already understands each other.
iGaming industry partnerships -
events + talking heads + brand style
iGaming industry partnerships -
events + talking heads + brand style
We work with several iGaming companies across events and promotional content.
Some need talking-head videos for announcements. Others need event coverage every few months. Many need a consistent style that carries through all of their content - especially across different expos and releases.
Because the relationship is ongoing, we naturally maintain the same lighting style, the same framing, and the same tone across interviews. The pacing in the highlight films stays consistent too, which keeps everything aligned without having to rethink the approach each time.
This kind of recurring video content support helps iGaming teams keep their event presence, talking heads, and brand identity stable across a very fast-moving industry.

Why retainers work better than random one-off shoots
One-off shoots have a predictable pattern:
- new crew
- new questions
- new style
- new confusion
It slows teams down.
When the relationship is ongoing, everything tightens. The organisation becomes lighter, interviews align well, and the visual style stays stable without needing to be recalibrated each time. We already understand the culture and tone, support for events becomes predictable, and planning for product updates or social pushes feels easier. Trust grows with every new filming day, and the whole process feels more grounded.
Over time, the content library looks and feels like it belongs to one company - because it does.

FAQ
What does an ongoing video partnership actually include?
It usually covers filming days across the year for events, interviews, founder messages, product updates, and social content. The same team handles each cycle, so there’s no repeat onboarding. You get consistent visuals, a familiar working process, and reliable delivery that fits your internal pace.
How is a retainer different from booking one-off shoots?
One-off shoots require new introductions, new explanations, and new decisions every time. A retainer removes that friction. The same team already knows your story, your preferences, and your tone, so filming becomes quicker and calmer. The content also starts to look unified instead of shifting from project to project.
How often do companies book recurring video support?
Most teams choose monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly filming. The cadence depends on how many events they run and how active their social channels or internal comms are. The rhythm becomes predictable, which helps marketing teams plan ahead instead of reacting to last-minute deadlines.
What do companies usually notice after a few months of ongoing support?
Filming days shorten because everyone knows the routine. Interviews feel natural because the relationship is established. Visuals align across all content, and the narrative becomes clearer. Teams also gain mental space - fewer decisions, fewer explanations, and far less chaos around content.
How much does an ongoing video partnership cost?
Most clients invest between £2,000 and £6,000 per month or quarter, depending on how often they film and how many edits they need. The structure stays simple: the budget is tied to cadence and output instead of unnecessary production layers.
Can a retainer cover both events and studio-style interviews?
Yes. Many companies use the same partnership for conference coverage, talking heads, internal messages, and regular social clips. Because the style stays consistent, the content feels connected across all formats, even when locations and purposes shift.
What makes recurring support helpful for fast-moving teams?
When schedules change or last-minute opportunities appear, having a familiar video team removes a lot of stress. Decisions are quicker, turnaround is predictable, and there’s already a shared understanding of the brand. This is especially useful for product updates, founder clips, and events that need prompt delivery.
Do these partnerships work for companies with their own editors?
Absolutely. Some teams only need filming support. Because the footage comes in clean, consistent, and well-organised, their internal editors can work faster and keep the visual tone stable across the year. This is the setup behind long-running YouTube channels and recurring interview cycles.
