Cinematic Brand Presence

Not just posts. Not just a website. Content creation, social media content, website design, SEO content strategy, and brand systems shaped into one premium online presence.

Before

Hard to find. Hard to trust. Hard to remember.

Scattered posts, outdated visuals, unclear offers, and no simple path to book.

After

Visible. Premium. Built for action.

A cinematic presence that makes the business easier to understand, trust, and contact.

Trust starts before anyone becomes a client.

Until public testimonials are ready, Lumin shows credibility through real client work, clear process, scoped deliverables, and plain expectations for what happens next.

01

Real client work across buying situations

A tattoo studio, a city directory, and a fintech app each need a different kind of proof. The work shows how Lumin shapes brand, build, and content without using generic agency templates.

02

A process built before production starts

Every project starts by clarifying the offer, the customer decision, and what the content or website needs to make believable. The shoot, copy, design, and booking path follow that signal.

03

Clear next steps after the form

After you reach out, Lumin reviews the goal, recommends the best-fit starting scope, and gives you a practical path instead of pushing every service at once.

Simple enough to move fast. Sharp enough to feel premium.

01

Find the signal

We clarify what makes the business worth choosing and what people need to feel before they trust it.

02

Shape the presence

We build the visual direction, message, content plan, and website story around that trust.

03

Create the proof

We produce the content, design the digital experience, and connect the path from attention to booking.

What people ask before they book.

How long does a typical project take?

Content sprints run 2–3 weeks from kickoff to delivery. A cinematic website build is usually 3–6 weeks. A full brand presence project runs 6–10 weeks. Timeline depends on shoot scheduling, content review rounds, and how much production complexity is involved.

What is the minimum I should budget for?

Pricing starts at $1,200 CAD for a content sprint, $2,800 for content plus website direction, and scales with scope from there. The pricing page lays out the full starting packages, and most projects shape around the actual scope after the first conversation.

Do you only work with Edmonton businesses?

Edmonton is the home base, and most projects are local — restaurants, wellness studios, trades, and service brands across Edmonton, Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Leduc, and Spruce Grove. Projects elsewhere in Alberta or Western Canada are possible when the fit is right.

Do you require a long-term contract?

No. Lumin operates per project. There is no monthly retainer requirement to start. Many clients return for follow-up work after the first project, but that is by choice and not contract lock-in.

What if I already have a logo or website?

That is the most common starting point. Lumin works around what is already in place when it serves the brand and rebuilds what does not. The first conversation includes a quick audit to identify what to keep, refine, or replace.

How is this different from hiring a freelancer?

A freelancer usually delivers a single asset. Lumin delivers a complete brand presence — content, website direction, visuals, and the systems that connect them. The output is closer to a full marketing department than a one-off shoot or build.

What do I need to provide to start a project?

A short brief on the goal, the offer, and the audience. Lumin handles direction, production, copy, design, and delivery. Most clients are surprised at how little they need to prep — clarity on the business goal is more useful than ready-made assets.

When can we start?

Lumin takes on three projects at a time. Availability is usually 1–3 weeks out. The booking form on this page captures the project note and we follow up to confirm timing.

Can Lumin help us use AI in our business?

Yes. Lumin offers practical AI integration built on Claude by Anthropic: choosing the right tools, setting up workflows for content, admin, reviews, and reporting, training the team, and building custom AI systems when off-the-shelf tools are not enough. Most businesses start with an AI Readiness Audit — reach out and we'll scope it together.

Does AI replace the real filming and design work?

No. The cinematic content and website design stay human-made — that craft is the point. AI supports the system around it: drafts, repurposing, summaries, responses, and admin. Anything AI-assisted gets a human review before it ships, so the brand never sounds robotic.

Make your brand easier to see, feel, and trust.

Start with the goal, the offer, and where your business feels invisible now. Lumin will shape the path from attention to booked work.

We reply within 24 hours.

You will get a clear scope recommendation and next-step proposal.

No fake urgency, no oversized package push. The first move should fit the actual gap.
