Why now
02 / 15
Dealer attention is fragmented

Every dealer touchpoint now needs video.

The same vehicle story now has to work as a vertical clip, a website asset, a listing visual, an ad creative, a showroom screen, and a sales follow-up message.

Video inside the purchase journey

Social video is shaping decisions before the showroom visit.

For automotive retailers, video is not only a brand campaign format. Buyers use YouTube, TikTok, and social channels to discover, research, compare, and shortlist vehicles before a dealer conversation starts.

TikTok Automotive framed video as decision support at NADA 2026.

Session-reported behavior shows TikTok moving beyond entertainment into vehicle discovery, research, comparison, and selection. That makes consistent dealer-ready video a commercial operating need, not a nice-to-have.

~3BYouTube monthly users

Video search is already a default habit.

YouTube remains the broadest video platform for reviews, model research, Shorts, and dealer content discovery.

~1.9BTikTok monthly active users

TikTok is becoming a shopping research layer.

Market estimates put TikTok near 1.9B monthly active users worldwide; official TikTok materials have also reported 1B+ monthly users globally.

~7xGen Z signal

Younger buyers turn to social proof earlier.

NADA Gen Z session materials say Gen Z is about 7x more likely to turn to influencers or dealer social media pages when researching.

Dealer problem
04 / 15
The execution gap

Dealers know video matters. Keeping it going is the hard part.

A dealer can name the vehicles, offers, and customer questions. What is missing is a repeatable operating model for video ideas, channel cadence, approvals, paid-media versions, and reporting.

Automotive video production reference

Knowing what to sell is not the same as producing video every week.

That gap is what a managed video service closes: your store keeps the customer relationship and the media budget, and production runs behind you.

Content direction

They need the next useful angle.

Models, offers, incentives, inventory, and customer questions change faster than most stores can plan scripts.

Channel operation

TikTok, YouTube, and Reels require cadence.

One-off clips rarely create momentum. Accounts need steady posting, format choices, and channel-specific use.

Production bandwidth

Sales teams are not production studios.

They can provide vehicle facts and customer context, but scripting, editing, localization, QA, and resizing slow them down.

Agency cost

Traditional outsourcing is hard to scale weekly.

Custom shoots, edits, and revisions can become too slow or too expensive for routine retail content.

Approval loop

Retail content still needs control.

Vehicle facts, offer language, subtitles, voiceover, and claims need a clear review path before publishing.

Data loop

Video needs to connect back to selling.

Dealers need enough channel and sales feedback to know what content should be repeated, adjusted, or expanded.

Finished video service

Brief-based automotive video, delivered at speed.

We combine automotive-specific AI production, trend-aware creative direction, and batch delivery so your team can sell a finished video service instead of asking dealers to learn another tool.

Showroom-ready automotive video example
Dealer-ready output

Multiple video styles, one managed supply layer.

Give dealers finished content they can approve, post, test, and reuse across sales channels.

Premium automotive campaign examplePremium storyBrand and model interest
Product and retail video exampleProduct proofFeatures, offers, follow-up
Trend awareness

Turn current buyer questions into video angles.

Model comparisons, offer explainers, feature stories, ownership tips, and showroom moments can be converted into usable content.

Retail timing

Move when inventory and offers change.

The service is built for recurring production, not one-off campaign shoots that arrive after the moment has passed.

Branding that attracts

Make the dealer look current and helpful.

Finished videos can strengthen model interest, dealership credibility, and the perception that the store is active where shoppers spend time.

Sales connection

Use content beyond social posting.

The same asset can support paid traffic, website/listing pages, showroom screens, and sales follow-up that leads to appointments and conversations.

Response & delivery timing

A confirmed order starts the delivery clock.

All durations are counted in production business days. Day D is the business day on which complete requirements and materials are in, both sides have confirmed the order, and intake has been acknowledged. Confirmed before 16:00, that same day is D. After 16:00, on a weekend, or on a public holiday, the next business day becomes D.

D0You

What starts the clock

Complete brief and materials, plus order confirmation from both sides.

Type AProduction

Exterior, trending, dynamic image

Priority target D+1. Committed delivery D+3 for up to 5 videos on one order and brief.

Type BProduction

Video with a presenter

Priority target D+2. Committed delivery D+4 for up to 5 videos on one order and brief.

Type CProduction

Custom creative

Scoped per order. Schedule and delivery standard are agreed before production starts.

Type A, each additional 5 videos+1 business day
Type B, above 5 videos+2 business days
Remainder below 5 videoscounted as 5
Type A and B on one orderlater date applies
Delivery cut-off on the committed day18:00 China time
Night, weekend, or holiday rushonly if accepted in writing
What re-sets the clock: missing or corrected materials, delayed end-customer approval, mid-order changes, and platform or brand policy changes. Feasibility checks for special mechanisms sit outside the Type A and B delivery standard. D+1 and D+2 are priority operating targets; the committed obligation is the standard SLA or the date written into the order confirmation. If we expect to miss a committed date, we say so early and re-agree the schedule, and undelivered work is not charged.

Order confirmation

A confirmed order locks scope and schedule.

Each order is fixed in writing or in a verifiable electronic document. It starts the delivery clock and settles any later dispute.

Changes become a new orderType, quantity, duration, copy, scenes, language, ratio, or deadline changes are re-confirmed as a change order.
One approval ownerA contact on your side or the dealer side who can confirm scripts, claims, and final use.
Material responsibility: you confirm the material is complete, accurate, consistent, and legally cleared. Our receiving it is not a substantive review of it, and differences traced to missing or inconsistent material are not defects.
Nine fields

What a complete order contains.

Send these so we can route the request, confirm the type and delivery standard, and enter the production timeline.

  • End customer — name, brand, country
  • Vehicle or product — brand, model, trim, version
  • Market, language, platform
  • Product and format — Type A/B/C, duration, ratio, quantity
  • Creative requirements — scenes, style, selling points, CTA, restrictions
  • Text handling — none, AI-generated, or precise post-edit
  • Materials — images, logo, fonts, brand colors, offer, references
  • Special mechanisms — plus live-action reference footage
  • Execution terms — SLA, delivery and review standard

Mechanical shots

We confirm moving parts before we promise them.

Fuel and charging flaps, doors, sliding doors, tailgates, sunroofs, seat fold, slide, and rotation, and other interior mechanisms are high-risk for generative video. A clip that shows a door opening the wrong way is worse for a dealer than no clip at all, so these are handled as a separate confirmation step rather than assumed.

Step 01

Send reference footage

Live-action footage that clearly shows the real structure, part positions, opening direction, and the full motion.

Step 02

Pre-order trial

We can run a trial before the order is placed. Receiving reference footage is not by itself a commitment that the shot can be produced.

Step 03

Written confirmation

The mechanism enters the order and the delivery standard only when we confirm in writing that it can be produced.

Step 04

If it cannot be done

We remove the shot or propose live-action, post-production compositing, or an alternative scene. That removal is not a delay, defect, or breach.

Why this exists

Wrong mechanics mislead buyers

Showing a feature that the vehicle does not have, or showing it working the wrong way, creates a retail claim problem the dealer has to answer for.

Timing and cost

Confirmed separately

Trial scope, cost, and duration are agreed on their own and are not counted inside the Type A and B delivery standard unless the order says otherwise.

Once confirmed

It becomes a defect standard

A confirmed mechanism that comes back with the wrong part position, opening direction, or motion logic is a defect and is re-made at no additional cost.

Review & defects
12 / 15
Acceptance

Three business days to review, and a written line for what counts.

Most video suppliers promise unlimited revisions and then argue about them. We publish the boundary instead: what we fix at no charge, what becomes a new order, and what is not a defect at all. A defect is a clear error caused by our production, judged objectively against the order confirmation and the confirmed material, that materially affects normal use.

Review window

Three business days

Counted from receipt of the complete deliverable. If no defect objection is raised in that window, the work is treated as accepted.

If it is a defect

Re-made, no extra charge

Handled by re-generation or another reasonable method at no additional charge. This is not an unlimited-revision arrangement.

If it is a new request

A new order

Added copy, scenes, or CTA, extra ratios, languages, or versions, and changes to people, scenes, or structure are quoted as new work.

Corrupted file, wrong confirmed duration or aspect ratiodefect
Subjective taste, a new creative idea, weak ad performancenot a defect
Confirmed copy or logo wrong or missingdefect
Platform review or brand approval rejectionnot a defect
Seat count, row layout, or seat direction clearly wrong on screendefect
Font, size, position, or color without precise text post-editnot a defect
Confirmed mechanism with wrong part position or opening directiondefect
Differences traced to incomplete or inconsistent material you suppliednot a defect
Read this one carefully: precise text post-edit is what makes font, size, position, and color contractual. Without it, we match the confirmed wording but not its typographic treatment, and signage or background text generated naturally inside an AI scene is outside the accuracy guarantee.

Video types
13 / 15
What we produce

Three video types, and what each one is for.

Every order falls into one of three types. The type sets the production standard, the review rules, and the turnaround — so it is worth picking deliberately rather than by budget alone.

Type A · Standard

Exterior, trending, dynamic image

Walk-arounds, offer reminders, feature explainers, inventory coverage, seasonal social. The format that carries weekly volume.

  • Dynamic image available at 5s and 10s
  • Not for strict spec or launch verification
  • Dealer-ready export file
Type B · Presenter

Person, voice, or IP character

For listings, follow-up, and trust-building content where a presenter makes it land.

  • Final script confirmed before production
  • Lip-sync and gesture standards apply
  • Voice and subtitle text required
Type C · Custom creative

Long-form and high-complexity

Launch moments, campaign films, rush work, multi-language, and structural re-cuts.

  • Scope and schedule agreed per order
  • Delivery standard written before start
  • Subjective taste alone is not a defect
Precise on-screen text post-edit, Type A or Bavailable as an add-on
Type and quantityset at order confirmation

Success criteria

How you will know whether it worked.

Agree these before the first batch, so the review at the end is a comparison against something you set rather than an opinion.

01

Can we produce at your speed?

Approved videos delivered from real briefs, on a rhythm your store can actually use.

02

Does your team actually use the content?

Videos are posted or reused across social, listings, showroom, paid media, or sales follow-up.

03

Does media create real signals?

With paid support behind them, the videos generate useful views, engagement, leads, or appointment signals.

04

Can the workflow run smoothly?

Briefs, approvals, access, feedback, and posting happen without slowing your team down.

05

Is the cost per usable video acceptable?

Measured against what the same output would cost you to shoot, edit, and schedule in-house.

06

Can this become a reference?

Results are clear enough to extend the arrangement, or to roll it out to more stores in the group.
