FAQ
Everything clients ask. Answered straight.
No sales gloss — these are the real questions from real briefs, with the answers we give on calls. If yours isn't here, ask it directly.
01 · The work
- What is a series-format brand campaign?
- A planned sequence of branded content episodes — produced like a mini TV show, with consistent creative direction, a recurring signature, and a release schedule that keeps your audience watching across weeks or months. Full definition on the dedicated page: manifestum.am/en/what-is-a-series-format-brand-campaign/.
- Does MANIFESTUM shoot with a real film crew?
- Yes. Every cinematic campaign is shot with a full professional crew: cinematographer, director, scriptwriters, producers, lighting and audio engineers, and talent as required. We are not a phone-on-a-gimbal operation — and we have never once felt sorry about that.
- How is your AI content different from generic AI video?
- We use AI tools to extend creative output — not to replace craft. Every AI-assisted frame is art-directed, prompt-engineered by experienced visual creatives, and post-produced to match a consistent brand aesthetic. Premium content at a fraction of production cost — not the six-fingered kind.
- How long does a cinematic campaign typically run?
- Most series-format campaigns run three to six months in production and distribution, with four to twelve episodes. The exact shape depends on the objective — we scope it during discovery.
02 · Money
- What does working with MANIFESTUM cost?
- We publish honest price bands — from single films at $2,000–$8,000 to series-format campaigns at $8,000–$40,000+, and monthly channels from $500–$800. The full breakdown, including what moves a number up or down, lives at manifestum.am/en/pricing/.
- How is payment structured?
- Projects: typically 50% to book production, 50% on delivery. Retainers: monthly with a defined scope and 30-day notice. Anything outside scope is agreed in writing before it costs anything.
03 · Working together
- How is MANIFESTUM different from other agencies in Yerevan?
- Most agencies in Armenia separate production from strategy from digital. We run all of it under one roof — your campaign film, social distribution, performance media, and identity share a single creative logic. And we have film production infrastructure that typical digital agencies simply do not.
- Do you work with clients outside Armenia?
- Yes. Production is anchored in Yerevan; strategy, brand, and digital work is location-agnostic. We work with brands across the CIS region and internationally.
- What happens after I send the contact form?
- A real person replies within one business day with first thoughts. Then a 30-minute call, then a scoped proposal with deliverables, timeline, and a fixed number. No drip sequences, no pressure.
- Can we start small?
- Often the smartest move. A single film or a one-month channel engagement shows you how we work before you commit to a campaign. Tell us the budget honestly and we will tell you what it buys.
