Little Kiss Productions

We asked our first official client, Steven Keihner, CEO & Founder of Terra Outdoor Living to comment on his brand's collaboration with Little Kiss Film & Brand Design. Instead, he wrote our first case study! ❤️ "Why we love these guys  When I was referred to Brian Bacino and his extraordinary creative team at Little Kiss, Terra was a high-growth company beloved by the community, but if you asked customers who we were, people would tell you "that outdoor furniture place on the side of the freeway".  I don't use the word transformational lightly, but it's the best way I can describe the results of the work that we did with Brian and his talented team.  The journey. In their process, they extensively interviewed members of our team and did a deep dive with some of our customers to understand the true essence of our brand. Then the Little Kiss went to work with their amazing creative team of visual artists, writers and brand experts to ultimately craft an extraordinary brand book that set the foundation for who we are today. The results. Once you were able to integrate these brand elements into a disciplined marketing strategy, we started to see dramatic swings in our sales which have continued to this day as we have moved from a local bay area company into a national brand. Whether you're looking to create a new and unique identity or build upon one that that is ready for the next step, I highly recommend Little Kiss.

Running a creative team?   Then this is the most important skill for you.   Cultivating ambition.   A team that understands the significance of the work, will always over-deliver.   Every great leader I’ve known gets this.   When they brief in a project, they elevate the purpose of the job itself (even if that job is a small one).   It’s not about issuing orders.   It’s about offering a tight brief that allows creativity to soar.   Instructions breed mediocrity. Ambitions breed brilliance.   World-beating companies possess these two things.   Leaders who convey aspiration   Teams who respond to it   Great works of art always have ambition.   Your business should too.   How do you create the conditions for ambition?   #ambition #art #leadership #businessofcreativity

We love David Carson and have ever since he designed our first Super Bowl spot for Budweiser thanks to michael jurkovac and the legendary Albert Watson.

Real people testimonials can be so much more than just putting a camera in front of a customer. There's finding the right person. There's asking the right questions. There's letting the subject's authentic story write itself vs putting scripted words in their mouth. There's discovering and imagining visual impact as the story unfolds. There's making everything look gorgeous, raising the perceived value of the brand. And there's connective copy and music to be created on the fly, after the story's been told. We love our real people work for #Honda. "Denise, mother/golfer/chef" :30 is one of our faves. #RealPeople #Testimonials #TestimonialDirector #Advertising #AutoAdvertising #BrandVideo #Commercials #CreativeDirection

With today's news that the San Francisco Giants have named their beloved 3-time World Series Champion catcher, Buster Posey, President of Baseball Operations, I was reminded of the moral of the story from this TV spot we created with the soon to be Hall-of-Famer: "Buster hits for all of us, and if I'm not mistaken, all of us just went deep." That's exactly how SF Giant fans feel right now!!! #SFGiants #MLB #BusterPosey #SportsMarketing #Advertising #FilmDirector

We love this shot more than just a little, Steven Counts. Thank you Benji: https://lnkd.in/g9na9yZZ

"A half score, and a few months from now, our Little Kiss founding fathers celebrated the greatest day in modern San Francisco Giants history by conceptualizing and filming "One Giant Moment" :60. This National Sports Clio Awarded TV commercial, was created in partnership with #SFGiantsProductions, with Paul Hodges, and Baker Street Advertising founder Jack Boland, producer Mark Dwyer, DP Cliff Traiman, editor Jesse Boots aka Holland, CCO & Film Director Brian Bacino, Art Director Ken Woodard #TVCommercials #SportsClio #EpicSportsFilm #BrandFilm #BrandDesign #Advertising #SportsMarketing #MLB

We've heard brilliant CEO's and CMO's give feedback about an idea that didn't make the cut: "Seems off brand" or "I'll know it when I see it" or "Why doesn't anybody get it?" (that one's for you, Stephanie McCarty) Uh oh. Those terrifying words are uttered when brand leaders have an instinct that is difficult to describe. It's not that they don't know what they want (as the agency will bemoan at the bar), it's that accomplished brand leaders have high level aesthetic brand instincts that are difficult to describe. The Little Kiss Studio Review unearths those deep brand instincts, vision, and aesthetic choices of a brand's leadership group so all who touch the brand communicate with intended purpose and personality. So if you know what you want, but nobody seems to get it, maybe you need a Little Kiss. #BrandStory #BrandDesign #BrandFilm #BrandStrategy #BrandLove and yes, we still do #BrandAdvertising #Advertising
