Question 1

What types of manufacturers does Shutterfeed best serve?

Accepted Answer

Indian manufacturers in the ₹25 Cr to ₹500 Cr+ band with an export deal, a tender, or an investor round inside the next twelve months. Shutterfeed goes deepest in auto components, heavy engineering, pharma and life sciences, electronics, process plants, and industrial machinery — that is where the field hours are.

Question 2

We’re outside your six named industries — should we still talk?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Shutterfeed also works with aerospace, defence, semiconductors, renewables, and mining when the engagement fits. The six verticals are where the portfolio is densest, not a fence. Take the Trust Audit — if the fit is right, we will say so; if it is not, we will point you to who is.

Question 3

How is Shutterfeed different from other Indian marketing agencies?

Accepted Answer

Shutterfeed works only with manufacturers, across five modules — Visual Production, Sales Collateral, Lead Generation, Brand Positioning, Pipeline Reporting — on one quote and one invoice. We sell outcomes, not deliverables, and every engagement opens with a paid Diagnostic, not a pitch deck.

Question 4

How much does an engagement cost?

Accepted Answer

It depends on what the Diagnostic finds, which is why Shutterfeed does not quote a retainer before it. The Diagnostic is ₹2,50,000 fixed — the one price published in advance. Your roadmap then prices the Build (one-time, per piece, staged over three to four months) and the Run (a modest monthly for the ongoing work, six-month minimum) separately, so you start with what matters most. Every figure holds for thirty days from the readout. There is no hidden quote: the roadmap is the quote.

Question 5

Can we buy one module on its own?

Accepted Answer

Visual Production, yes. Shoots and the Digital Plant Tour Kit are booked on their own, quoted per brief. Sales Collateral and Brand Positioning are built with Visual Production inside the Build, because a deck built on old photographs is built on the problem. Lead Generation and Pipeline Reporting run in the Run, after the Build: outreach is a programme, not a project, and reporting needs a pipeline to report on. What goes into your Build and Run is scoped by the Diagnostic, not guessed on a call.

Question 6

Are there launch terms for early clients?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The first five Indian clients are founding clients: the Diagnostic at ₹2,00,000 instead of ₹2,50,000, founding rates on the Build and the Run in their roadmap, and in return a named case study and a testimonial once the work is delivered. Standard terms apply from the sixth client.

Question 7

Do we have to use HubSpot?

Accepted Answer

No. HubSpot is the default because it reports cleanly and most buyers’ teams already know it. Where the licensing does not fit — common at the ₹25 Cr to ₹50 Cr end — Shutterfeed builds the same pipeline, the same stages, and the same monthly report on Zoho or Odoo. The reporting is the point, not the logo on the login page.

Question 8

What is the ₹2.5L Diagnostic — and why pay for an audit?

Accepted Answer

A written audit of all five modules, a priced twelve-month roadmap, and a ninety-minute boardroom readout, delivered in three weeks. The fee is ₹2,50,000 fixed and the Diagnostic stands on its own: no retainer required, the roadmap is yours to use with anyone, and every price in it holds for thirty days from the readout. If the audit names fewer than three actionable fixes, Shutterfeed refunds the fee.

Question 9

Who is on the team? Who runs the project?

Accepted Answer

Shutterfeed is founded and run by Joe Manuel Vasant, who leads the visual shoots and stays accountable from first call to twelfth month. Production runs through a vetted team of shooters, editors, designers, web developers, and copywriters, sized to the engagement. No subcontracted brands.

Question 10

How much of our team’s time will this take?

Accepted Answer

Less than you expect. Shutterfeed runs a site recce, takes a brief, and shoots around your production schedule — the line never stops. Beyond the brief and a few approvals, the work sits with us. Your people stay on the floor.

Question 11

Are you a photography studio or a marketing agency?

Accepted Answer

Both, in sequence. Shutterfeed has shot inside manufacturing plants for five years and now operates at the full agency layer. Visual Production is module one of five — the foundation the website, collateral, outreach, and reporting all build on.

Question 12

Can you show case studies?

Accepted Answer

Shutterfeed launches with one named case study and publishes more through the year as client consent lands. We do not invent proof. The free Trust Audit is itself a demonstration of how we think — take it and judge the method before the logo wall.

Question 13

Do you work with companies in the Gulf?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Shutterfeed flies in for GCC manufacturers — UAE, Saudi, Kuwait, Qatar, and across the Gulf — billed in local currency with travel itemised at cost. Same crew, same standard, your facility.

Question 14

How fast can you start?

Accepted Answer

The Diagnostic is a three-week engagement and can begin within days of the Credibility Call. Build work starts as soon as the roadmap is signed.

Question 15

How much does industrial photography cost in Chennai?

Accepted Answer

Shoots are quoted per brief, by the shoot day, after a recce. The quote covers crew, equipment, the edit and a twelve-month licence. Tell us the plant, the products and the timing and we come back with a day count and a figure.

Question 16

How long does a corporate film take?

Accepted Answer

A recce, the shoot days your brief needs, then the edit and grade. Dates are fixed in the brief, and the line never stops for us.

Question 17

Can you shoot inside a running factory?

Accepted Answer

Yes. That is the point. Five years and forty-plus Indian plants, working around the line, under your EHS rules, without stopping production.

Question 18

What goes into a company profile for vendor registration?

Accepted Answer

What the OEM’s form asks for: company overview, plant and machinery list, certifications, customer list, organisation chart, and the photographs that prove them. We build one master so the deck, the brochure and the registration upload say the same thing.

Question 19

What if we’re already working with another agency?

Accepted Answer

The Diagnostic works alongside whatever you already have. Shutterfeed audits what your buyer actually sees and hands you a priced roadmap — you decide what to act on. No rip-and-replace, no contract you have to break to talk to us.
