The short answer
What is behind-the-scenes content?
Behind-the-scenes content is the real, unpolished side of your brand: the people, the process, the craft and the sneak peeks audiences rarely get to see. It is authentic by nature, which is exactly why people trust it, and why it tends to convert better than a glossy ad.
Trust has become the deciding factor. Around 60% of consumers say user-generated and authentic content is the most trustworthy form of marketing, it earns roughly three times the trust of branded ads, and 84% of people say they trust a brand more when it shows real, human content.
We capture it lightly, often alongside your video and photo shoots, and shape it for social. It is part of our second pillar, capture the story. Explore the wider Digital Content pillar.

The shift
Trust is the new currency
Audiences have learned to scroll past the polished and the perfect. What stops them now is real: a face, a process, an honest moment. Authenticity is not a nice-to-have; it is what earns attention and belief.
Authentic, user-generated and behind-the-scenes content earns about three times the trust of branded ads, converts roughly 74% higher, and lifts revenue per visitor by around 154%. And as AI floods the feed, human-made content is rated noticeably more authentic, so the real stuff matters more, not less.

Behind-the-scenes FAQs
What is behind-the-scenes content?
It is the real, unpolished side of your brand: the people, the process, the craft and the sneak peeks audiences rarely see. It is authentic by nature, which is why people trust it and why it often converts better than a glossy ad.
Why does behind-the-scenes content work so well?
Because it builds trust, and trust drives buying. Authentic content earns around three times the trust of branded ads, roughly 60% of consumers say it is the most trustworthy marketing, and people buy from brands and people they feel they know.
What is the difference between BTS and UGC?
Behind-the-scenes content is made by the brand, showing its own people and process. User-generated content (UGC) is made by customers or creators about the brand. Both feel authentic; we produce BTS and UGC-style content, and help turn happy customers into real UGC.
Do you film BTS on our other shoots?
Yes, and it is the smartest way to do it. While we shoot your video and photography, we capture behind-the-scenes content at the same time, so you walk away with a stream of authentic social content for very little extra.
What kinds of behind-the-scenes content do you make?
Founder and team content, day-in-the-life, process and how-it-is-made, event and culture, sneak peeks and teasers, and UGC-style pieces, all cut for stories, reels and shorts. Whatever shows the real, human side of your brand.
Is authentic content really better than polished ads?
For trust and conversion, usually yes. Authentic content converts around 74% higher and lifts revenue per visitor by roughly 154%. The best brands use both: polished work to set the standard, and behind-the-scenes content to build the trust that turns attention into action.
How much does behind-the-scenes content cost?
Because we usually capture it alongside your other shoots, BTS is one of the most cost-effective content you can make. Ongoing capture and editing run within a content retainer. We recommend a level after a free consult. Start a project for a tailored figure.
How do you measure success?
By engagement and trust signals: saves, shares, comments, watch time and follower growth, then the lift in conversion and repeat business as familiarity builds. We track it and make more of what genuinely connects.
