What we do

The Practice

Five disciplines, one continuous craft.

01

Content Creation

Photo, video, and stills built to stop the scroll and still look like you.

02

Strategy

Positioning, narrative, and a content system designed around the customers you actually want more of.

03

Filming

On location across LA. iPhone Pro for volume, cinema cameras for the hero work, and a drone when the story needs height.

04

Editing

Color, pace, and polish. Every second is shaped to hold attention.

05

Social Media

Daily management of a living feed people remember and trust. Captions, comments, DMs, and a monthly report you can actually read.

Shooting day packages

Three ways we shoot

Same team, same account management. What changes is the camera we put in front of your business.

01

Native

iPhone Pro · gimbal · LED panel · wireless lav mics

Filmed on the latest iPhone Pro, stabilized on a gimbal, lit properly and recorded with real microphones. It looks native to the feed, which is exactly why it performs there. This is the highest volume package: the most posts per shooting day and the fastest turnaround.

Best for restaurants and cafes, salons and spas, gyms, retail, and any business that needs to post several times a week.

02

Studio

Full-frame cinema camera · prime lenses · lighting kit · dedicated audio

Professional cameras, shallow depth of field, controlled light, and color handled in the grade rather than in a filter. Slower to shoot and slower to cut, and it is the difference between content that looks fine and content that looks like the business charges what you charge.

Best for med spas, dental and aesthetic practices, law firms and professional services, brand films, and anything that has to carry a premium price.

03

Aerial

Everything in Studio · plus drone

The full camera package with drone coverage added: the establishing shot, the reveal over a roofline, the scale of a site or a venue that no handheld angle can show. Most of Los Angeles sits under controlled airspace, so we check the class for your address and clear the flight before the shoot date, not on the morning of it.

Best for real estate, construction and development, venues, nightclubs, weddings, and large parties and events.

Every package includes the same account management: strategy and planning, editing, captions, scheduling and posting, community replies, and a monthly report. You can also mix them, and most clients do, running Native for weekly volume and booking Studio or Aerial when there is something worth shooting properly.

Packages are quoted per business, because the right one depends on your industry, your platforms, and how much you need each month. Compare the packages or request a quote.

The Idea

I don’t just manage social media. I create a complete brand presence that turns attention into business growth.

Elmar, Creative Director, Los Angeles

The Agency

A social media agency in Los Angeles

Elmar Social is a boutique social media agency in Los Angeles. We plan, shoot, edit, and manage social media for local businesses: one dedicated creative team building your complete brand presence, not a rotating cast of freelancers.

Every month starts with a shooting day. We film and photograph at your business or on location across LA, then turn that footage into a full month of content: reels, stories, and posts, edited, scheduled, and published for you. Strategy, captions, community replies, and clear monthly reporting are all part of the practice.

You choose the camera package that fits the work. Native is shot on the latest iPhone Pro for volume and speed, Studio is shot on professional cinema cameras for the content that has to look expensive, and Aerial adds drone coverage for property, venue, and event work. The management around it does not change.

We work across most of the local economy in this city: dentists and orthodontists, med spas and day spas, law firms and professional services, restaurants and cafes, nightclubs, bars and lounges, construction companies, real estate agents, and growing retail brands. On weekends we bring the same crew to weddings and to large private parties and events, capturing the day for social while it happens.

We shoot on location across the county: Santa Monica and Culver City on the Westside; Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, and Hollywood through the middle; Downtown LA and the Eastside; Pasadena and Glendale to the north; and Studio City and Sherman Oaks over the hill in the Valley. If you are within about an hour of Downtown, we come to you, and there is no travel surcharge. See every area.

Questions

Before you get in touch

What does Elmar Social actually do?

We run social media for Los Angeles businesses end to end. That means the strategy, a monthly on-location shooting day at your business, the editing, the captions, the scheduling and posting, the replies to comments and DMs, and a monthly report. You approve, we do the rest.

What is the difference between the three packages?

Only the camera. Native is shot on the latest iPhone Pro with a gimbal, lighting, and wireless lav mics, which gives the most posts per day and the fastest turnaround. Studio is shot on a full-frame cinema camera with prime lenses, a lighting kit, and dedicated audio. Aerial adds drone coverage to Studio. The account management is identical in all three. See the full comparison.

Do you fly a drone in Los Angeles?

Yes, in the Aerial package. Large parts of the city sit inside controlled airspace around LAX, Burbank, Santa Monica, Van Nuys, and Hawthorne. We check the airspace class for your address and request authorization ahead of the shoot date rather than turning up and hoping.

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

Dentists and orthodontists, med spas and day spas, law firms and professional services, restaurants and cafes, nightclubs, bars and lounges, construction companies, real estate agents, and retail brands. Weekends are for weddings and large private parties and events. Browse every industry.

How much does it cost?

We quote per business, because the number depends on your camera package, how many platforms you run, and how much content you need each month. Tell us what you need and you get a written quote, usually within one business day. Our guide to LA market rates explains what drives the price either way.

Which parts of Los Angeles do you cover?

All of LA County. Santa Monica, Venice, Marina del Rey, and Brentwood on the Westside. Culver City, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Hollywood, Silver Lake, Echo Park, Los Feliz, and Downtown through the middle and the Eastside. Studio City, Sherman Oaks, Burbank, and Encino over the hill. Pasadena and Glendale to the north, and the South Bay down the coast. Within about an hour of Downtown there is no travel surcharge.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

No. Plans start with a three-month minimum, because social media results compound and one month proves nothing, then continue month to month with 30 days notice.
