Project-Based Engagements

What are Project-Based Engagements?

Project-Based Engagements are structured photo and video production projects designed for brands with a specific initiative, launch, event, or campaign.

They offer a focused way to work with Hawkins Co. without immediately entering an ongoing brand management partnership, while receiving strategic direction and high-end production.

Hawkins Co. collaborates with clients in Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads, as well as with regional and national brands, to produce intentional, high-quality visual content under strategic direction.

Final Note

Whether working locally in Hampton Roads or with brands beyond the region, Hawkins Co. approaches every project with the same focus clarity, intention, and recognition.

  • Project-Based Engagements commonly include:

    • Commercial Photography for branding, campaigns, and websites.

    • Brand and campaign video production

    • Launch and Seasonal photo/video content

    • Founder, executive, and leadership photography and video.

    • Visual assets for marketing, advertising, and social platforms.

  • No.

    Hawkins Co. does not offer casual or open-ended shoots. Every project includes creative direction, strategic intent, and professional photo and/or video production aligned with the larger brand narrative.

    The goal is not volume - it’s clarity and cohesion.

  • They can.

    Some projects are photography-only, others are video-only, and many combine commercial photography and video production depending on the brand’s needs.

    Scope is determined during the initial discovery call.

  • Each Engagement Includes:

    • Defined goals and scope

    • Creative and brand direction before production

    • Professional photography and/or video production

    • Delivery formatted for real-world use across web, social, and marketing platforms.

    Projects are scoped intentionally to avoid inefficiency and misalignment.

  • These engagements are ideal for:

    • Established brands and professional service firms

    • Established local businesses in Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads

    • Companies preparing for launch, campaign, or refresh.

    • Teams needing high-quality photo and video assets without long-term commitment.

    • Brands seeking a strategic, agency-level approach to production

  • Project-Based Engagements focus on a specific photo or video initiative.

    Brand Management is an ongoing partnership that includes:

    • Content oversight

    • Social Media Management

    • recurring photo and video production

    • long-term brand consistency

    Many Brand Management partnerships begin with a project-based engagement.

  • No.

    While Hawkins Co. is based in Virginia Beach, we regularly work with regional and national brands. Either on-site or through coordinated production.

    Location informs logistics - not creative scope.

  • Project pricing is determined based on:

    • Scope

    • Creative requirements

    • Production complexity

    • Timeline

    Pricing is not standardized or listed publicly to ensure each project is properly scoped.

  • The first step is a discovery call to determine fit, goals, and direction.

    From there Hawkins Co. will recommend either a Project-Based Engagement or an Ongoing Brand Partnership based on your needs.
