An established clinic with a working content engine.

This next chapter has already begun. We filmed the first month of case studies in February, and the edit starts the moment you sign off.

The case study films are the flagship of the work. Their cinematography and storytelling set how the brand is seen, and each one puts the clinic's strengths, and what sets it apart, on show.

Over the last year we built the library and refreshed the YouTube backlog, so the engine is already in place: clear sign-off, and content that moves month to month without getting stuck. The work now is to keep that output steady and dependable, without the clinic chasing it or becoming the bottleneck. This outline sets out the next six months.

Where it sits

A working engine, not a standing start. The library is built and the YouTube backlog is refreshed.

What changes

A steady monthly rhythm. The shift this year is from occasional bursts to a dependable flow.

What you get

Polished content, ready to publish. A full set of finished pieces each month, produced end to end.

More from every shoot, about twelve film files a month

Each story delivered in widescreen, vertical and a clean text-free master, so one filming day works across web, YouTube, Instagram and TikTok.

Social cut-downs, made for you

Up to eight short social posts a month, edited by us from your films, so four stories become a full month of content.

A 4K frame-grab bank, 80 to 120 high-quality stills a month

Twenty to thirty high-quality stills per case study, drawn from the 4K footage and ready to publish across web and social.

Included licence and your own edit rights

Own-channel use built into the fee, not a separate tier, plus the right to keep cutting your films down in-house, with no time limit.

Flexible YouTube, no longer paid monthly

Fully produced long-form, but booked and paid only when there is a real filming window, instead of carried every month.

Content from brand collaborations

When we produce a brand collaboration that features you, for example with an aesthetic device partner (i.e. Alma), you get a text-free version to make your own content from, where the rights allow.

02 · The monthly retainer

Preparation, production and post, every month.

One planned production day a month, fully produced from pre-production through filming, editing and delivery, with two Frame.io review rounds along the way. The shoot is the visible part, but the planning before it and the craft after it are where most of the quality lives.

The same process runs every month, so the output stays consistent and the clinic always knows what is coming.

PHASE 01

Pre-production

Planning, scripting where needed, shot lists, scheduling and kit prep. Every shoot day has a plan before anyone touches a camera.

PHASE 02

Production

The day itself, captured with an overhead camera, a free-roaming camera and a portrait setup for before-and-afters.

PHASE 03

Post and delivery

Edit, sound, music licensing, colour grade and graphics, with two rounds of review via Frame.io, then delivery.

Where it starts, a content strategy session

Included up front, so the programme starts with a clear direction.

We run a content brainstorming and strategy session together, and agree the treatments and topics to prioritise for the monthly case studies.
From there, each month's pre-production meeting is an open door to brainstorm and shape any extra content as priorities shift.

The six-month rhythm

Each month starts with pre-production and creative planning, then a production day, then editing with two review rounds via Frame.io, then delivery and publish. The same cadence repeats six times over.

PlanShootEdit and reviewDeliver, then repeat

Delivery timing. First cuts typically land within four weeks of the shoot day.

What we need from Dr Medispa each month

Light touch, but it keeps the month on schedule.

A shoot day each month that works for both sides, booked in advance.
Access to the clinic, plus patients or models with consent where the piece needs them.
The team's availability to plan and coordinate each month's shoot day.
Timely sign-off at the two review points, so nothing stalls.

Who does what

Clear lanes, so nothing falls between us.

Polaris plans the shoot and leads the production schedule on the day, then edits, grades and delivers.
Dr Medispa provides clinic access and approvals, and coordinates the patients and their arrival timing on the day.
The in-house team handles publishing and day-to-day social.

03 · What's included each month

Everything in the core, locked in.

This is what lands every month as part of the core retainer: commercial-grade treatment story films, built from real patient journeys and delivered for web, YouTube, Instagram and TikTok, plus the assets around them. Included and fixed, not something you select.

4 treatment story films

Four finished films a month, each in a widescreen and a vertical version, so they work across web, YouTube, Instagram and TikTok.

Text-free versions, yours to cut down

A clean, text-free version of each piece, with the right to add your own captions and make your own cut-downs in-house, so the team can spin extra social pieces.

Up to 8 social cut-downs we make for you

Short social posts edited by us from your films each month, so four stories turn into a full month of content without extra filming.

4K frame-grab bank

Twenty to thirty high-quality stills per case study, drawn from the 4K footage, finished and fully usable for web and social.

Before-and-after stills where captured

A before-and-after stills set for the journeys where the result is captured on the day.

The included Standard licence

Everything in the core is licensed for your own channels as standard, built into the monthly fee.

Brand-collaboration content for your own edits

When we produce a collaboration that features you, we provide a text-free version for you to create your own cut-downs and content from, where the collaboration's rights allow.

04 · Optional modules

Add to your plan, or call on extras as needed.

The core covers your monthly content in full. The modules below are optional: some recur and add to your monthly fee, the rest are extras you can request in any month, with no commitment now.

06 · Your licence, and extending a piece when you need to

Standard licence included, with simple per-piece unlocks.

Everything we make for you each month is licensed for your own channels by default, included in the core. The unlocks below only come into play on the specific pieces you push further, into paid ads or third-party brand use. If a piece goes that way, let us know and we apply the right unlock. Nothing here is committed to now; the prices are for information.

Paid ads / commercial use of a piece

Put media spend behind a piece, running it as a paid social or digital advertisement. Covers a twelve-month campaign window for that piece.

Per video£450

Sponsor or third-party brand featured

For a piece that features a sponsor or another brand alongside you, clearing it for that wider use.

Per video£300

Own a piece outright (buyout)

Full ownership of a single piece passes to Dr Medispa, to use anywhere with no restrictions on edits or onward use.

Per video£1,400

Own everything. A full buyout of all deliverables is available on request at £12,000.

Last year usage came as a single blanket tier. This year your everyday content is licensed for your own channels as standard, and you only pay more on the specific pieces you actually push into paid or third-party use. We keep the source material on hand, so further cuts can be commissioned without re-shooting.

07 · Your price, and how to pay

The core retainer, and how you'd like to pay.

The core retainer is £6,000 a month, ex VAT. That is a 20% goodwill discount on a standard rate of £7,500 a month.

Compared with last year, the core is larger: more from each shoot. Your four treatment story films come in widescreen and vertical, each with a text-free version, plus up to eight social cut-downs we make from them, up to twenty finished video files a month. The 4K stills bank and own-channel edit rights are included too. YouTube is no longer carried every month; you book it only when there is a real window, so you are not paying monthly for a format that waits on your availability.

The figures below update live as you set the monthly modules in section 04 and choose a payment option. Info-only modules, YouTube and the per-piece unlocks are added only as and when you use them, so they do not appear in these totals. All figures are ex VAT.

08 · Keeping it on track, and to finalise

How the months run, and how to confirm.

The retainer works because the monthly resource is protected and booked in advance. That is what makes the output dependable, and it shapes a few simple terms below.

The engagement runs as a six-month commitment, one protected production day a month. Each piece gets two rounds of review via Frame.io, and timely sign-off at those two points keeps the schedule moving. We keep the source material on hand, so further cuts can be commissioned without re-shooting.

The terms, in short. A month can be rescheduled within reason with a bit of notice, and we will find a date that works for both sides. If a month cannot go ahead on the clinic side, the protected monthly resource still applies; we use the reserved time to pull other work forward where we can. Approvals happen at the two review rounds per piece, and prompt sign-off keeps everything on track. Payment is in advance, set up once via GoCardless, or a single invoice if you pay in full upfront; if a payment is missed we pause new work until it is resolved, then pick straight back up.

Frequently Asked Questions

A few answers, written plainly. If any of them do not quite work for you, just tell us. We would rather hear it now than guess later.

What lands each month?

Up to twenty finished video files a month, plus a 4K stills bank. Four treatment story films, each in a widescreen and a vertical version, with text-free versions and up to eight short social cut-downs we edit for you. On top of that, a 4K frame-grab bank of twenty to thirty high-quality stills per case study, and before-and-after stills where the result is captured on the day. All of it produced end to end, from one planned production day a month.

That is the core, and it is fixed. The optional monthly modules in section 04 add to it only if you choose to set them.

What's included in licensing? (in plain English)

Everything in the core is licensed for your own channels as standard, in the monthly fee. That covers your Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, website and internal comms.

The per-piece unlocks in section 06 only come into play on specific pieces. Paid ads or commercial use covers a twelve-month campaign window for that piece. A sponsor or third-party brand unlock clears a piece that features another brand. Owning a piece outright is a single-piece buyout, and a full buyout of all deliverables is available on request.

You only apply an unlock on a piece when it actually earns the wider use.

How does YouTube fit alongside the retainer?

YouTube is booked and paid per production, not part of the monthly fee. Each booking is fully produced, with pre-production including research, production and post, the same approach as last year, at £4,000 ex VAT per booking. You book a YouTube production when it suits you and only commit and pay when you do.

Separately, we'll finish the remaining YouTube backlog under the current arrangement, then scope any remaining editing separately.

What if a month needs moving or cannot go ahead on our side?

Yes, a month can be moved with a little notice. We will find a date that works for both sides. The aim is a steady rhythm, not a rigid one.

If a month cannot go ahead at all on the clinic side, the protected monthly resource still applies, so we use the reserved time to push other work forward where we can. If you can see a difficult month coming, get in touch and we will work out the best use of the time together.

How does payment work, and what happens if a payment is missed?

Payment is in advance; a missed payment just pauses new work until it's resolved. On the monthly and 50/50 options it is set up once and taken automatically, and on the full-upfront option it is a single invoice. Paying ahead is what keeps the schedule reliable.

If a payment is missed, we simply pause new work until it is resolved, then pick straight back up. There are no penalties beyond that pause; we would always rather sort it out with a quick conversation.
