PROPOSAL EXPIRES: May 30th
WELCOME TO YOUR PROPOSAL
Rhylee,
Our main objective is to deliver a project that hits goals, creates connections, and gives you more confidence in marketing your project. At JECP, the relationship is everything. As much as we want this project to be beautiful, we want to earn trust and form a long-term partnership.
Below, you will see your creative brief and 3 options to choose from to make the project possible. We look forward to serving you a great experience.
OVERVIEW
Let's give "Like it Never Happened" the chance it deserves. Our core focus is marketing through content creation and helping you make the impact you hoped for.
We see creativity differently. We are process-driven, so we can make simple ideas feel more powerful and connective. We want to do less so you can do more, meaning we want to have a core focus visually and stem off of that into supportive content, giving you more marketing opportunities.
Each proposal has its pros and cons, but simply put, each one has a main focus video, and as they scale up, we deliver more content. Marketing isn't about having the perfect piece of content but serving your audience and experience time after time.
Once we determine which proposal makes the most sense, we can craft the production that matches that experience. However, our main objective is to make this visual campaign the most successful in terms of reaching your current fan base and beyond.

THE CREATIVE BRIEF
LET'S LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU
YOUR STORY
This project is focused on breathing new life into Like It Never Happened and giving it the visuals it deserves. We talked about ideas around being hungry, looking at life from the end, self-indulgence, overcoming hardships, killing Mr Nice Guy, and several other things we can pull from to create themes.
We are building ideas from each song but also looking for a smart way to tie each visual together so it feels consistent and is part of LINH as a whole, from one piece of content to the next. Additionally, I think RHY! needs a more human and vulnerable angle, inviting fans inside to get to know you deeper while still maintaining your visual aesthetic. Below, I have bullet points for each track and ideas to bring any to life.
THE HURDLES
You mention a lack of marketing plans in the past and situations where things lost momentum. Nothing steals the wind and potential from a project like missed opportunities.
THE SOLUTION
When working with us, we want this to be a learning experience as much as getting the deliverables. In delivering content, we know the reward only comes from how much action an artist takes. We try to make the action easier while encouraging experimenting.
We will keep the creative simple and focused on good cinematography, your energy, and building confidence so we can deliver, ensure we're all learning about each other, and this campaign lands with the audience.

Use a location that gives us time to set dress (our studio)
-
Simple performances with things happened around so we can cut less, but more intentional
-
Time, distortion, emotions, and inner self feel like common themes

WHY JECP?
"They excel at so many things; it's almost scary.
The amount of planning they put into every project is unmatched.
It's comforting to see how much they care about the project
and how every single detail is thought out well before the shoot date."
Sean Divine
FEAR CULTURE
"It was a fantastic experience to trust JECP and let them take our idea and
make it into something incredible. From the start, Josh and Ross helped to discuss our vision, goals, and ideas
for the video, which was new for us.
Honestly, it can be terrifying to hand over your project to someone else and trust that they "get it," but it turned out to be our best-received video to date."
CHRIS WEATHINGTON
SOFTSPOKEN
"The amount of content that we got to go with our music video was what sold me,
which took our release to the next level.
The coaching on set helped break us out of our shells and give our best performance.
The JECP guys are fantastic, and I recommend you every chance I get."
