The 7 best short form video agencies

1. ShortFormVideo.co: done-for-you personal branding

Ours, as disclosed, so judge the claim on its specifics. We do one thing: build personal brands for founders, executives, realtors, doctors, lawyers and coaches through short form video, end to end. Strategy and positioning, scripts written from interviews in your voice, guided batch filming on a smartphone, editing, daily posting across TikTok, Reels, Shorts and LinkedIn, and the comment-to-DM funnels that turn viewers into booked calls. Our edits have passed 100 million views, and this site ranks #1 on Google for “short form video editing”, which is its own kind of proof that we practise what we sell.

Best for: a busy expert who wants the outcome (authority, inbound calls) and can give a couple of hours a month on camera. Not for: one-off edit batches, ad creative at volume, or anyone who wants to stay off camera entirely and just needs clips cut. Pricing is scoped on the call, because the answer depends on volume and scope, and we’d rather tell you to your face when it’s not a fit. Book the 30-minute call here; we’ll tell you what we’d post if we were you, which is useful even if you hire someone else on this list.

2. Short Form Media: the production company

A Miami-based production company focused on short form content for brands. The emphasis is on the production itself: concepting and producing native vertical video. If what you need is content made to a brief rather than a personal brand run as a system, a production house is the honest category to shop in, and they’re a strong example of it.

Best for: brands with their own strategy and distribution who need the videos made well. Not for: the founder who needs someone to own results after the export.

3. LYFE Marketing: video inside a social media agency

An Atlanta social media management agency with a dedicated short form video service. Their published numbers talk about millions of views and hundreds of millions in client revenue across their services, and the model suits small businesses that want video as part of a broader managed social presence: one vendor for posting, ads and content.

Best for: SMBs that want the whole social function handled by one generalist team. Not for: a personal brand where the founder’s voice is the product; generalist queues sand the voice off.

4. Feedbird: the budget subscription

Feedbird advertises short form video plans from $199 a month at the time of writing, and I’ll say the quiet part: if all you need is a steady drip of edited clips and you’re supplying the footage and the strategy, a subscription service at that price is the rational purchase. The trade is exactly what you’d expect: templated output, no positioning work, no funnel, and nobody accountable for whether any of it books a call.

Best for: volume edits on a tight budget with strategy handled in-house. Not for: anyone who needs the videos to produce clients rather than exist.

5. Superside: enterprise creative at scale

A creative-as-a-service subscription used by enterprise marketing teams, with short form and social video as one capability among many (design, ad creative, motion). The pitch is dedicated creative capacity that scales up and down without hiring, and for in-house teams producing across many channels it’s a sensible model.

Best for: enterprise and scale-up marketing teams with steady multi-format creative demand. Not for: individuals or small firms; the model assumes a marketing team is driving.

6. Brand of a Leader: strategy-first personal branding

A personal branding agency for entrepreneurs and executives, strategy-led rather than video-led. They’re unusually transparent about investment, publicly disclosing monthly minimums in the low-to-mid four figures, which does the useful job of qualifying buyers before the call. Video is part of their delivery, but the centre of gravity is brand strategy and positioning work.

Best for: executives who want deep strategy work and are comfortable with a consulting-shaped engagement. Not for: someone whose bottleneck is daily video production and distribution rather than positioning.

7. Nonsensical: the TikTok specialists

A UK agency built specifically around TikTok: organic content, creators and TikTok ads. Platform specialists earn their keep when a brand has decided TikTok is the channel and wants people who live inside its culture and ad platform daily.

Best for: brands committing budget to TikTok as a primary channel. Not for: a cross-platform personal brand, where TikTok is one of four distribution surfaces.

How to choose between them

Ignore the showreels; they all look the same. Choose on three questions:

• What’s the unit of value? If it’s “videos delivered”, you’re buying production (Feedbird, Superside, Short Form Media). If it’s “a personal brand that books calls”, you’re buying a system (us, Brand of a Leader), and the price reflects who carries the result.
• Whose voice is on camera? If the answer is you, the agency’s script and interview process matters more than its edit quality. Templated scripts read as templated within three videos, and the audience leaves quietly.
• Who owns the funnel? Views without DM handling, pinned strategy and a booking path are entertainment. Ask who answers the comments and what happens to a warm DM at 9pm on a Thursday. The silence after that question is the answer.

Questions to ask any agency before you sign

1. Who writes the scripts, and from what raw material? (“Trending audio” is the wrong answer for a professional brand.)
2. How many hours a month do you need from me, exactly?
3. Who posts, who replies to comments, and who handles DMs?
4. What happens in month one before anything is published?
5. Which number do you report on, and which number do you ignore? (Likes should be in the second category.)
6. When this works, what does it look like at month six? When it doesn’t, how would we know by month three?
7. Show me an account in my industry you’ve grown, and what you’d do differently for me.
