What social-first brands say about our work.

5-star client review rating

I can't say enough good things about Matt Watts and the incredible team at Viva Media! They recently created a short video for our Instagram, which we used for a media launch in Toronto for StretchLab.

Not only did the video perfectly capture the essence of our business, but it also achieved an astounding record low cost per lead (CPL) of just $0.84!

5-star client review rating

We had a fantastic experience working with VIVA. The entire team were knowledgable, professional, helpful, patient and detail-obsessed, making our lives so easy at what is typically a very stressful time.

Every step of the process was planned meticulously which led to a seamless shooting and editing experience. We and our clients were delighted with the final products. Looking forward to working with the guys again!

Would give VIVA MEDIA a 10/5 if I could!

They did a COVID video for my company who is new to releasing video content for our social media - needless to say, they were SUPER accommodating and had a very fast turnover rate. From beginning to end, Matt (our project manager), and his team was able to deliver a video that was everything we needed and more; his team even worked overtime to get us our video before the timeframe we needed it.

Fantastic to work with!

They seemed to easily understand what I was after. Viva not only delivered what I was asking & hoping for, they exceeded my expectations and delivered aspects that I didn't even think to ask!

Social Media Video Production FAQs

The questions DTC brands and social media managers ask us when scoping Toronto social video. Real answers on pricing, volume, platform specs, and what separates a paid social campaign that scales from one that dies at iteration three.

How much does social media marketing cost in Toronto?

Most agencies treat social media pricing like state secrets wrapped in creative mystery. We won't. Our social media video content ranges from $5,000 to $20,000+ per month depending on scope. The variables that move the needle: how many pieces you need, how involved we are with strategy, whether we're writing scripts, casting talent, running production days with your team, or integrating with broader marketing campaigns. Do you need content formatted for multiple platforms? Are we building in CTAs and going through multiple revision rounds? Are you optimizing for speed or quality? Looking for intricate viral strategies that rack up views, or conversion-focused content that drives lead form submissions? All of these things matter, and they're all questions we need to ask before giving you a number. We'll figure out what you're actually trying to accomplish and give you an honest assessment of where your project falls.

How quickly can social media content start generating actual business results?

Platform algorithms typically need 2-3 weeks to optimize content distribution, but well-crafted social content can start generating leads within the first week of deployment. Unlike agencies that promise overnight viral success, we focus on sustainable, scalable social strategies that build momentum over 60-90 days while generating consistent results from day one.

Can social media content actually replace other marketing channels?

Social media is powerful, but it's not magic. Smart businesses use social content as part of an integrated marketing strategy, not a replacement for everything else. Our social content excels at awareness, engagement, and lead generation—but works best when supporting broader marketing objectives. We'll tell you honestly where social fits in your overall marketing mix.

How do you measure social media success beyond likes and shares?

We focus on what we do best: making social content that performs. For the analytics and attribution side, we partner with marketing agencies and strategic specialists who live and breathe that world. Many of our clients already have teams handling measurement. For those who don't, we connect you with partners who can track the metrics that actually matter: cost per lead, conversion rates, customer lifetime value, revenue attribution. We'd rather get you to the right experts than pretend we're something we're not.

What's the difference between organic and paid social media content?

Organic social builds long-term brand equity and community engagement, while paid social delivers immediate, targeted results. Smart social strategies combine both: organic content that builds trust and authority, paid content that drives immediate conversions. We develop integrated approaches that maximize both reach and ROI across your social media investment.

What makes Toronto social media marketing different from other agencies?

Most social media agencies in Toronto are still stuck in 2019, measuring success with likes and shares instead of revenue. We're different because we solve the "billion hours wasted" epidemic by focusing on platform psychology and conversion triggers, not hashtag roulette. Our approach identifies where your specific audience actually gives a damn, what motivates them to open their wallets, and how to measure real business impact instead of vanity metrics theater. We transform social media from an expensive hobby into a measurable profit machine by leveraging the 8.7X higher performance of strategic authentic content over generic branded fluff.

Can you work with our existing social media team or do you need full control?

We're collaborative, not territorial. Our social media production integrates seamlessly with existing marketing teams, providing strategy, content creation, and performance optimization while respecting established workflows. Whether you need full social media management or just high-converting video content, we adapt our approach to complement your team's strengths.

How do you decide between UGC-style content and polished branded content?

Strategy drives the decision, not aesthetics. UGC-style content excels at building trust, driving conversions, and feeling native to social platforms—it's 8.7X more powerful than polished branded content for purchase influence. However, high-end branded content works better for brand positioning, industry authority, and aspirational messaging. We analyze your business goals, audience psychology, and platform context to determine the right approach. Sometimes a single campaign uses both: polished content for awareness, UGC-style for conversion. It's about having the right tool for the right job, not picking favorites.

How do you keep social media content authentic while still driving business results?

By remembering that authenticity isn't the opposite of strategy—it's enhanced by it. Our UGC-style approach creates content that feels genuine because it's built around real customer insights and authentic brand messaging. We avoid the corporate polish that makes social content stick out like advertising, focusing instead on storytelling that builds trust while driving action.

How do you create content that works across multiple platforms without looking generic?

By understanding that each platform has unique psychological triggers and audience behaviors. We don't create one video and post it everywhere—we develop platform-specific content that feels native while maintaining consistent brand messaging. Instagram Stories require different storytelling than TikTok videos, and LinkedIn content converts differently than Facebook posts.
