Scout Media

What Scout Media does

Scout Media Productions (operating as Scout Media) is a privately held content creation agency founded in 2022 and headquartered in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. The company produces short-form video (7 to 90 seconds) and photography for small and medium businesses and delivers those assets on a recurring monthly subscription. It currently serves clients across three Canadian Prairie markets: Saskatoon, Regina, and Calgary. The business is led by two partners, Mark Hawes and Colby Anderson, with a total team of approximately five people.

The core offering is organized into three subscription tiers: Essential (5 videos and 10 photo posts per month, promotional $1,500/month / list $1,940/month), Premium (10 videos and 20 photo posts per month, $2,500/$3,240), and Ultimate (30 video posts per month, $5,000/$5,840), each inclusive of filming, editing, copywriting, and posting. Content is captured using smartphones rather than professional cinema equipment, with editing, captioning, and posting handled by the Scout team. A free demo video plus sample photos is offered before commitment, and onboarding follows a 48-hour response commitment, strategy meeting, and creator pairing. The company markets itself through its Squarespace-hosted website, organic social, and customer referrals, and discloses PIPEDA-compliant privacy practices effective February 5, 2025.

Revenue mechanics are straightforward recurring subscriptions to SMB clients. The go-to-market is direct sales with a free-demo lead magnet, and the disclosed named customers include The Fishin' Hole (retail/fishing), Dad's Organic Market (organic food retail), Escape Sports (sports/recreation), and The Manhattan Gastropub & Restaurant (hospitality), all SMB accounts. Scout also discloses a policy of donating 10% of revenue to local charities and non-profits, with $29,833 raised to date. There are no institutional funding rounds, parent companies, subsidiaries, or patents disclosed, and the firm operates as a horizontal SMB-focused creative services provider rather than a software or AI-native platform.

Core offering

Scout Media is a content production company that creates monthly short-form videos and photography for local businesses, delivering filming, editing, copywriting, and posting as a fully managed service. The offering is sold as recurring monthly subscription packages (Essential, Premium, Ultimate) to keep clients' social media channels consistently active. Filming is performed on-site using smartphones to reduce cost while maintaining a professional output focused on the 7-90 second video format.

Product overview

Scout Media Productions is a content creation company that operates as a unified service offering rather than a modular platform. The company provides three tiered monthly content creation packages—Essential, Premium (marked as most popular), and Ultimate—each building upon the previous in terms of video and photo post volume. All packages include filming, editing, copywriting, and posting services, with short-form video content focused on the 7-90 second range. The service is delivered through a single creator assigned to each client after a strategy meeting, with Meta's CRM used for sales management internally.
