Book my discovery call
Creative Edge Productions makes commercials, company films, and recruitment videos for Appleton and the Fox Cities. We travel from our Green Bay studio to film at shops, offices, and facilities in Appleton, Grand Chute, Little Chute, Neenah, and the surrounding area.
A commercial for a business on a busy retail corridor and a recruiting video for a manufacturer call for different shoot plans. We’ll help decide what the audience needs to see, when we can get the footage, and what versions you’ll need for TV, the web, or social media.

Welcoming the Challenge
- The brief
- The commercial uses a sports press conference to set up a simple story about a fan who needs to get to the game. The location on screen supports the joke and gives the performers a familiar situation to play.
- Production and delivery
- Prophit Marketing wrote and directed the spot. Creative Edge handled filming. The finished TV commercial and the behind-the-scenes material show the result and how the crew set up the scene.
Agropur
Recruitment campaign
- The brief
- A recruiting campaign can introduce the company and let candidates hear from people in individual roles. Agropur’s portfolio shows how those two jobs can be divided across several videos.
- Production and delivery
- The finished campaign includes a main recruitment video and individual profiles. An employer can use the main piece on a careers page and share the individual stories where they are most relevant to a job opening.

Our reach
Plan around the workday in the Fox Cities
The Fox Cities include paper and packaging operations, manufacturers, and busy retail districts. The right filming window depends on what you want to show. A shop may have a short window before customers arrive, while a plant might only run the product or process we need during a specific shift.
On the first call, tell us where we’ll film, what happens there, and who needs to approve access. If a shoot spans two locations, such as an Appleton office and a Little Chute or Neenah facility, we can build the schedule around the people and work at each site.

Recruit for the roles you need
Pick two or three roles that are hard to fill. We can record interviews with employees across shifts and show what a new hire would actually see, from the equipment they’ll use to the people who train them.

Keep the shop or line moving
Identify the quietest room for interviews and the times we can film customer areas or production equipment. Flag safety gear, products that are still under wraps, and areas where a camera can’t go.

Plan the cuts before filming
If a single campaign needs a TV spot, a website video, and vertical ads, share the required lengths and placements up front. That gives us time to frame the action for each format and record alternate openings or calls to action.

Choose the video that fits your goal
01Commercials and social ads
Tell us where the ad will run and what you want viewers to do. If you need TV, web, and vertical versions, we can plan the opening, framing, and product shots for those edits during the same shoot.
02Recruitment and company films
Let viewers hear from the people who do the work. For recruiting, show the tasks, tools, and environment a candidate would actually see on a typical day.
03Product and service demonstrations
Start with the question customers ask most often. Show the process with a wide view for context and close-ups where they need to see a detail.
From discovery call to delivery
Plan your Fox Cities production around the people doing the work
-
Define the brief
Decide whether the video should drive a store visit, explain a product, or help fill a particular role. Agree on where the finished video will run.
-
Plan the shoot
Select the store, workshop, or facility scenes that show the job or offer. Check opening hours, shift availability, and anything that should stay out of frame.
-
Film
Use the available filming windows for the activity and interviews that matter most. Capture any extra angles or versions that were scoped for the campaign.
-
Review and deliver
Have the retail, HR, or operations lead check the cut for accuracy. Approve the main video and confirm where each shorter version will be used.
A clear starting point
Questions about filming in Appleton
Can you film while our business stays open?
Yes, when the location allows it. We’ll plan a footprint and schedule around customer traffic, access, sound, and the parts of your operation that need to keep running.
Can we get social cuts from the same commercial shoot?
Yes. Let us know the platforms and lengths up front so we can capture frames that work in both wide and vertical edits.
Can you work with our marketing agency?
Yes. We can handle production from an agency brief or develop the concept with your team. We’ll agree on who provides the script and who signs off on each stage.
What affects the cost of a Fox Cities shoot?
The main factors are the number of locations and shoot days, the size of the crew, and how many finished versions you need. Tell us the deadline and what absolutely needs to be filmed so we can scope the work around those priorities.
Can we film employee interviews across shifts?
Yes. Choose the people and roles you want to feature and share their shift schedules. A reserved interview room and staggered call times can keep each person’s time away from the floor short.
Can we use employee profiles alongside one main recruitment video?
Yes. Pick a few roles to feature and decide how each piece will be used. That lets us plan common footage for the main video and distinct interviews or work footage for each profile.
How do we plan a shoot for an upcoming retail promotion?
Start with the date the promotion goes live, then share the offer, available products, store hours, and any approval deadlines. That helps us work backward to the right filming and review windows.

Making a technical subject engaging
Creative Edge is an excellent team. They are resourceful, capable, and talented. They were able to take mundane subject matter and make it interesting, polished and elite.

Having quality video is so important when you are trying to establish a brand in the market and create compelling content, and Creative Edge is the best I've seen at putting it all together.

From a product launch to a client event
Our company used Creative Edge for a number of very important and high profile asks in the last few months and they have been nothing short of amazing to work with. From helping us design and complete a promotional video for a new product launch to handling the photography and videography for a large event we hosted for high profile clients in another country, they hit every deadline and ask we had of them with the precision and timeliness we required. We look forward to working with them in the future, they are incredible in every way.

Collaborating on a shared client project
Great experience collaborating with the team over at Creative edge with a mutual client. They are quick to respond and bring production to a level that is not experienced in this market. I would be more that honored to work along side them again on future productions.
