Content creation in Cork, without hiring a content creator
Monthly on-location shoots. Reels, carousels, event coverage. A content creator for your business, without the recruitment risk.
Every Cork business owner has been told they need "a content creator". The ones who hire in-house find out six months later that one person cannot be a photographer, videographer, editor, writer and events team. The ones who don't hire fall behind.
HYPE is the alternative. Monthly on-location shoots at your venue, a whole team behind the camera, every format your platforms need, delivered the same dates every month. The output of a dedicated content creator, without the salary or the hiring risk.
Who it's for
- Restaurants, pubs and bars who need the room on film and in photos every month, not just at launch.
- Retail and food and drink brands whose product changes with the season and whose feed cannot look the same for twelve weeks.
- Clinics, studios and service businesses that live or die on how the room, the people and the treatment look online.
- Any business that tried in-house content and realised it is a full-time job plus the gear and the editor.
What's included
- A monthly on-location shoot at your venue, filmed by our team.
- Reels, carousels and short-form video edited in-house, in the formats your platforms actually use.
- Event coverage: launches, openings, special nights, included in the monthly package.
- A content plan you see and approve before anything goes live.
- Finished edits plus the raw library: graded stills, clips and project files to your drive, so you own the archive.
- Every message answered within 24 hours.
How it works
- Kick-off. We learn the business, the customers and what good content for you actually looks like.
- First shoot. We build the first month's library at your venue in one session.
- Monthly rhythm. Shoot → edit → deliver → approve. Same dates every month.
- Six-month partnership. Contracts run for six months. We review the output together before the next six.

Content creation FAQ
Why not just hire a content creator in-house?
Hiring in-house means a full-time salary, holidays, equipment and the risk of the wrong hire. HYPE delivers the same monthly output of shoots and edits for €2,700/month, with a whole team behind it instead of one person.
Do I get the raw footage?
Yes. Every shoot delivers finished edits for publication plus the raw footage, graded stills and project files to your drive so you own the library forever.
Which platforms do you create for?
Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X and LinkedIn, plus Bluesky if your customers are there. Reels, carousels, stories, long-form posts, event coverage. We cut each piece to the platform rather than reposting the same clip five ways.
Can you cover events as well as the monthly shoot?
Yes. Event coverage is included in the monthly package: launches, openings, special nights, any day the room matters more than usual.
Do I need to brief every shoot?
No. Once we've learned the brand in the first month, every subsequent shoot is planned by HYPE against your calendar. You approve the plan. We shoot and deliver.
Is this different from social media management?
Related but not identical. Social media management covers content creation plus posting, community management and ads. Content creation on its own is the shoots and edits, if you handle posting yourself.
