From Vision to Execution: Heir Media’s Approach to Media and Creativity

In today’s fast-changing media landscape, the most successful companies are those that blend innovation, authenticity, and compelling storytelling. That’s how brands (and companies) are able to build real, authentic communities around their products, services, and the people that make their businesses run.

At Heir Media, we’re not just creating content; we’re crafting experiences that resonate with people on a deeper level. But what goes into bringing these creative visions to life? To get an insider’s perspective, we sat down with Aurielle, our Executive Director of Media Services, to talk about the company’s approach to media production, its challenges, and what the future holds for the company.

“I’ve always believed in the power of storytelling to shift perspectives,” Aurielle shared in a recent interview. “Whether it’s through film, books, or digital media, my goal is to create narratives that resonate on a deeper level.

A Storyteller At Heart

Aurielle’s journey into media and storytelling began long before Heir Media. From an early age, she was drawn to the performing arts, literature, and cinema, fascinated by the way stories could evoke deep emotions and shape worldviews.

That passion led her to explore multiple creative disciplines, from acting and directing to screenwriting and novel writing. She understood that great storytelling isn’t bound by one medium—it’s about the message, the emotion, and the connection it creates with the audience.

Her book, Tin Man: Introspection of a Beating Heart, showcases her introspective and emotionally rich storytelling style, proving that she is not just a filmmaker but a literary talent as well. Whether through words on a page or images on a screen, Aurielle has a rare ability to create narratives that resonate deeply with audiences.

Building a Creative Media Production Brand: The Heir Media Story

As the Executive Director of Media Services, Aurielle plays a pivotal role in shaping Heir Media’s creative direction, strategic growth, and industry impact. Under her leadership, the company has developed a reputation for producing high-quality, visually striking, and deeply engaging content across multiple platforms.

What Sets Heir Media Apart?

Authentic Storytelling: Heir Media prioritizes stories that feel real, honest, and culturally impactful, ensuring every project resonates with its intended audience.
Innovative Visuals: With a keen eye for cinematography, Aurielle and her team ensure that every frame is not just beautiful—but also meaningful.
Bold Narratives: Heir Media is unafraid to tackle complex themes, diverse perspectives, and untold stories, making its work stand out in a crowded industry.
A Commitment to Excellence: Every project reflects meticulous attention to detail, from the script to post-production, ensuring the highest standards of storytelling.
A Culture of Creativity: Aurielle fosters an environment where artists, writers, and visionaries can push creative boundaries, resulting in fresh, compelling content.

What’s Next for Heir Media?

As Heir Media continues to expand, Aurielle and her team have exciting projects on the horizon. From feature films and TV series to digital media campaigns and branded storytelling, the company is poised to make an even greater impact in the industry.

Some upcoming projects include:

Saving Savanna – A deeply emotional film exploring themes of mental health, resilience, and redemption, which marks Aurielle’s directorial debut.
Official Launch of the YouTube Channel – Heir Media has launched the official YouTube channel which will showcase short films, behind-the-scenes content, devlogs, and more.
Game Development – Heir Media has begun developing a new video game IP.
Film Development — Heir Media has also begun shopping a couple new scripts around.

“We’re just getting started. The best stories are still waiting to be told, and Heir Media is ready to bring them to life.” — Aurielle Bryan

Bridging the Gap: Creatives and Clients

Let’s be on honest, we all have heard potential clients say, “your packages are too expensive”, “do you have a discount?”, or “I can find someone who can do it cheaper.”

This can be frustrating especially for freelancers, start-ups, and small businesses because we have to make a profit in order to keep the lights on and food on our tables. However, clients (potential and actual) have the right to control where they spend their money just like anyone else.

And if we are completely honest, you probably could find someone to do it cheaper, but the question that clients really should be asking is, “if I choose to invest my money into your services or product, then can you guarantee that your work will reach my expectations?” And I mean reasonable expectations of course.

Portfolio

Early on, creatives will want to ensure that potential clients have seen at least one example of your previous works, so they can have realistic expectations for the project that they are hiring you for since we all know that there are clients that want Hollywood level quality for little to no budget.

This is why creatives need to build a quality portfolio, and why clients need to view them— because portfolios are the best way to gauge the quality or value that the creative will bring to each project. This also allows clients to know what look the creative generally gravitates towards and whether that look and feel is one that the client is interested in.

However, if you are just starting out, then your client may still have some questions, fears, or, in the worst case, ask for a discount.

So, how can you minimize a client’s questions, fears, and desire for a discount?

The Right Package For You

Let’s be honest, there is no one answer that I could give that would stop every potential client from questioning your pricing; but, through clear communication, you can reassure your client by setting clear expectations for what the project entails and what it doesn’t.

Every freelancer, start-up, and small business should have a list of packages that gives a rough outline of what each package entails, so potential clients can see if there is a package that works for their needs.

There will be clients that ask for audio, video, and photo coverage of an event or project, despite the package they paid for only including video. You need to ensure that they know that adding onto their chosen package will increase the price, as it may require more help (boom operator, photo editor, audio engineer, etc.), and it will undoubtedly require more time.

However, there will always be clients that want to pick-and-choose various parts of your different packages.

This should lead the creative to one question: “Should you allow custom packages?”

That’s a question you have to ask yourself: “Does this improve my brand?” and “Can I output consistent quality for each client, if they all asked for custom packages?”

Some of you will answer “yes,” while others will say, “no.” And that’s okay. All that matters is that you know your own limitations— whether based on ability, brand, reliable helpers, or something else.

There is a saying that I have been hearing a lot recently and that is, “Under promise, over deliver”.

Whether you are a freelancer, owner of a start-up, or small company president, these four words could be integral to your success (as you recognize that you do not have access to the same budget as a large company for each project that you are hired to create), but you will still reach and surpass expectations by giving clients more value than they expected— given the limitations.
