The Content Department

Your in-house content team, without the hire.

Monthly photo and video for South Australian businesses, planned around more enquiries, more applicants or more visitors. No lock-in contracts.

  • From $3,900 a month, ex GST
  • 48 hours to first edits, or that month's edit is free
  • No lock-in 30 days' notice to cancel

The problem

Most businesses post in bursts. Then nothing.

A flurry when someone finds the time, then months of silence. Customers notice, and so does the algorithm. Here's what a year usually looks like.

Doing it yourself0 posts this year
With The Content Department0 posts this year
MomentumWhat builds when you keep showing upDoing it yourselfWith The Content Department
JanAprJulOctDec
Your socials have gone quiet.The last post was weeks ago, and nobody owns it.
Staff get asked for phone photos.So the business looks nothing like the work you actually do.
Every tender is a scramble.You hunt for decent photos the night before it's due.
You look smaller than you are.Competitors with half your capability look twice as professional online.

The maths

Why not just hire someone?

You could. A full-time content creator in Adelaide costs $65k+ a year, before super, gear, software and management.

And one hire is rarely all four of these at once:

StrategistKnows what to post and why.
PhotographerCaptures your people and your work properly.
VideographerFilms reels and feature videos that hold attention.
EditorTurns it around fast, every month.

Your goals

Pick what you need more of.

Every month is planned around a goal. Most businesses pick from these three, or you can bring your own. Core and Department plan around one goal; Flagship up to two.

The monthly rhythm

One month, start to finish.

The same simple rhythm every month, so content just keeps arriving, with very little of your time.

  1. Every month

    A fixed shoot slot

    Your shoot day is locked in each month, so content never stalls.

    Your time: none
  2. A week before

    Plan

    A monthly call a week out to plan the shoot and any video scripts: jobs on site, launches, hiring, seasonal moments. You approve the ideas.

    Your time: a short call
  3. Shoot day

    Shoot

    We come to you and capture the work as it happens, around your schedule.

    Your time: a quick hello, or longer if you're on camera
  4. +48 hours

    First edits

    Your first edits land within 48 hours of the shoot wrapping, or that month's edit is free.

    Your time: a quick look and approve
  5. +5 days

    Full library

    The rest of the month's photos and videos, edited and ready, within 5 business days.

    Your time: none
  6. Through the month

    Posting

    On Department and Flagship we schedule and post it for you, once you've approved the month's posts. On Core, you post it yourself, with your Social Media Playbook to guide you.

    Your time: a quick approval
  7. Month end

    Report

    A short report on what worked, so next month's plan is sharper.

    Your time: a five-minute read
  8. Every quarter

    Strategy

    We step back, look at the results and set the brand direction and goals for the next quarter.

    Your time: a strategy session

What one shoot gives you

One day on site.

Is it right for you?

Who it suits.

A good fit if…

  • You do work worth showing every month: jobs on site, projects, harvests, launches
  • You want to show up every week, but nobody in-house owns it
  • You need more enquiries, more applicants or more visitors
  • You want great content without it eating into your week

Probably not yet if…

  • You only need new photos once or twice a year. A Kickstart will suit you better
  • You're planning one big production or launch. Request a quote instead

Track record

Five years in‑house before this.

Before starting Threadgold Media, Jayden spent five years as the in-house creator for an established South Australian business, running photo, video and marketing every month. That's where The Content Department comes from.

Good questions to ask.

How much of my time does it take?

Very little. Usually a short planning call a week before the shoot, a quick hello on shoot day (longer if you're on camera) and a few approvals. We handle the shooting, editing and, on Department and Flagship, the posting.

Do you post for us?

On Department and Flagship, we schedule and post for you. Department posts on Facebook and Instagram; Flagship on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube. You approve each month's posts before anything is scheduled, so nothing goes live without your OK.

Core doesn't include posting. You post the content yourself, and your Social Media Playbook shows you how.

What's the 48-Hour Promise?

Your first edits land within 48 hours of the shoot wrapping, or that month's edit is free. Hours are counted Monday to Friday, so a Friday shoot lands by Tuesday. The clock pauses for anything on your side, like approvals, assets or site access.

Is there a contract?

Yes, a simple agreement that sets out what's included and how we work together. There's no lock-in: every plan is month to month with 30 days' notice.

Can we try you first?

Yes, that's what the 48-Hour Content Kickstart is for. Join within 7 days of your review call and your full Kickstart fee comes off your first two months.

Who owns the content?

You get a lifetime usage licence on everything we deliver, and your Content Library keeps every file we've shot for you while you're with us. Threadgold Media keeps ownership of the files.

What happens if a shoot day can't go ahead?

Weather calls are ours to make: we shoot in most conditions and only move a shoot if it's genuinely unworkable. Grey skies, mist or a bit of rain often make for great looking shots.
