Amazing Creative Opportunity For Churches

About a year ago God laid something in our lap that we have been developing and has turned out to be one of the coolest and most rewarding things we've done with churches since we started in 2003. We simply refer to it as Long Term Partnerships.

The way it started was one of the coolest churches I've ever been around, First Hattiesburg in MS (don't let the name fool you), lost their full time video/media/designer guy. They were already in the habit of outsourcing some things, knew me from some other connections and called to ask if we'd be interested in trying to make it work. We had already been working on a similar arrangement with another client and everything fell right in to place. Today, a year later, it's been one of the most rewarding things we've ever done, we've added several other clients to the program, and all of them, as well as us here at Big Picture Media, couldn't be happier.

It has been so amazing in fact that we are moving some resources around and are excited to open four new slots for potential church partners. (2 have been filled since this post first aired and we only have 2 slots left). So here are the nuts and bolts:

1. For about the same or even less than it would cost for you to hire a full time media person, you can partner with us here at Big Picture Media to take care of all your media needs.
2. You now have not one single guy, but you have access to our entire team of video producers, writers, graphic designers and all around creatives who bring well over 50 years of high level creative experience to the table.
3. We come in and participate with all of your high level creative planning every month, helping you to shape, brand and plan everything from big events to your monthly message series and everything in between.
4. Our long term partnership clients who have had full time media people on staff say that we produce 3-5 times as much content as they did, an amazing boost in productivity. This is due to our years of experience, our efficiency and the high level systems we have in place.
5. Samples of our work are at the bottom of this post and include things like video announcements, message series bumpers, baptism story videos, missions vids, banners, signage, at the movies, year in review vids, vision vids, training vids, special worship elements, videos for your age group ministries, tv and print ads, social media consulting...the list is virtually endless.
6. You save tens of thousands of dollars on equipment because we already have it all. Cameras, lights, audio gear, green screens, editing systems and software. 
7. We partner for 12 months at a time and offer some pricing options from the full blown partnership that we're talking about here to some smaller setups if that's more appropriate for your church. We've very flexible and accommodating. 
8. We are all about quality, not quantity, which is why we're only opening four new slots. We limit our number of clients so that each one gets the maximum amount of attention from us. We want to hit home runs with a select few, not singles and doubles with the masses.

What are the requirements for your church to be a long-term partner with Big Picture Media?

1. To fit into the cost structure we're talking about here, and because we're on site with you so much, you need to be within a half a day's travel from Birmingham, AL where we are located. By car that means pretty much anywhere in AL, GA, MS or TN. By plane, most anyhwere in the eastern half of the US, especially if you are near a Southwest destination city. We can actually do this anywhere in the country, but outside this region the cost will go up a little bit depending on where you are.
2. You have to have strong vision and a commitment to excellence in communications so as to fully utilize what we're bringing to the table for you.
3. Must be a gospel-centered church committed to seeing lives changed.
4. You have to be large enough to be able to afford a full time media person. In other words, if you're a church plant running 150, this is going to be out of reach for you.

In case you're not familiar with us, you may be wondering 'who is Big Picture Media?' Easy. The two main people you would be creating with are:

Mark Clement | Founder & CEO Mark has over 15 years of experience on pastoral staff and has worked with over 300 churches of every possible description across the country in his 8 years with Big Picture Media. He is often the creative go-to guy for organizations like Giving Rocket, The Change Group, RSI, Generis, Cogun, Compassion, MAG, LIVE Design, Churchplanters.com and many others.

Scott Ross | Creative Director Scott was one of the founding members of All Things To All People and for years was the creative director for Student Life. Scott's energy, passion and enthusiasm for the local church is unmatched and he is considered one of the best 'idea men' in the business.

If you are interested in finding out more about this opportunity please contact Mark Clement HERE. If you know of a church that may be interested please pass this info along. Our existing partners say their ministries have been drastically impacted by Big Picture Media. What can we do for you?
