Here’s some info about us (Find Amazing) and what we’re all about. Take a look at we’ve got going on and let us know if you’re interested in collaborating with us!

WHO AM I?

First off, let me introduce myself. My name is Jared Walker, I’m the founder of Find Amazing. Over the years as an Emmy Award-winning Director and Visual Effects Artist I’ve worked on a wide range of viral videos, commercials, TV shows, and movies. I've had the opportunity to work with some big brands (Google, Verizon, ESPN, Netflix) making advertising video content, and the viral videos and commercials I've worked on have over 300 Million views on social media. Find Amazing is my brainchild that lets me work on video content I’m actually passionate about (mostly content around retro nostalgia, nerdy pop culture, gaming, books, etc.).

WHAT WE DO

Find Amazing is a wonderful mix of some of the things we’re most passionate about—video content, social media engagement, pop culture, and scavenger hunts. Our goal at Find Amazing is to share videos that catch people’s attention and get them to want to engage, both online and in real life! We do this mainly in two ways:

1. Attention-grabbing videos

   We make entertaining and attention-grabbing videos to hook people and get them to watch more. Combining live action footage with visual effects / CGI adds a unique magic to our videos and draws the viewer in. Each of our videos also includes something from pop culture (eg. retro nostalgia, nerdy pop culture, gaming, books, etc.). It could be a movie, toy, or video game from your childhood that sparks a memory and sense of nostalgia for you. Or it could be something popular right now that people are geeking out about and going crazy for. Tapping into these fandoms helps our videos be more engaging and shareable.

2. Real-world scavenger hunts and giveaways

   Each video we post is tied to a real-world scavenger hunt and/or giveaway. For the scavenger hunts, something related to the video is hidden out in the real world for our viewers to find. This adds another dimension to our videos outside of social media that make the videos more exciting and get people to keep following our accounts. We also run online giveaways to include people that don’t live locally to the real-world scavenger hunts. Social media giveaways also help with engagement of videos when people need to like and share in order to enter.

EXAMPLES

Here are some of the videos we’ve already made:

THE BENEFITS OF COLLABORATION

We love making video content, but what we love even more is collaborating with like-minded brands so we can make video content together! We love working with people and brands that are passionate about the same kinds of things as we are, and we love helping out fellow small businesses. Honestly it’s a win-win for everyone. Here are the benefits to the people involved:

1. The Brand (You)

   We promote and tag your brand in our videos to get you more awareness and engagement on social media. If you’re a brick and mortar company, we get actual people (potential customers) in the door using our scavenger hunt and prizes. With online giveaways we get you more followers and/or email subscribers that you can promote your brand and products to directly.

2. The Viewer

   The viewers not only get to watch an entertaining video, but then they get to take it a step further and participate in a giveaway or scavenger hunt in real life. We’ve already seen a huge increase in engagement and connection through our scavenger hunts and giveaways. So far we’ve gotten rave reviews from people letting us know how fun the scavenger hunts have been for them and their families. It’s a wonderful way to get people excited and engaged beyond the normal social media doomscroll.

3. Find Amazing (Us)

   Through collaborations we get to help out other small businesses. This is something we really care about, and it’s one of the things that brings us fulfillment in our work. And through collaborations we can also be sustainable as a small business. We need to keep the lights on to continue doing what we love, and collaborating with other businesses helps us do that. As we work with more brands we share our followings with each other and help build each other up.

It really is a win-win for everyone involved, and that’s what we love most about these collaborations. For more specifics about what’s involved in a collaboration, read on below.

Here’s an example of how a collaboration would work.

When a brand wants to collaborate with us, we’ll meet to talk through the videos and campaign. Here are the goals we have for helping promote the brands we work with:

• Get awareness for the brand on social media

• Get potential customers into the store or business

• Get more followers and email subscribers for future promotion opportunities

The videos that we make for the campaign will keep these goals in mind. We’ll work together with the brand’s owner / decision-maker on the ideas for the videos so that they fit with the brand’s style/voice and reflect well on the brand.

The videos

Each campaign will have a minimum of 2 videos included, but may have more depending on the brand’s goals and budget.

Video 1:

The first video will be an entertaining and engaging video that grabs the viewer’s attention. Typically these videos include some visual effects, nostalgia, or other hook to make it more interesting and engaging. This video can also show the location of the scavenger hunt drop and mentions there’s an additional prize for the person that finds the drop. If the brand is a brick and mortar business, the drop for the scavenger hunt can be at the store/business in order to get people in the door. This video will be posted on Instagram and TikTok as a collaboration post from both the brand and Find Amazing. We hope that the entertaining/interesting nature of this video will help more people engage with and share the video (and get the algorithm to share with more people), but to make sure people see this video we will pay to boost/promote the video as well.

Video 2:

The second video is for the giveaway. We offer up a prize for a random winner online that meets the requirements of the giveaway (typically liking the post, following the brand and Find Amazing, and tagging friends in a comment). Additional entries can be added for subscribing to an email list, visiting the store/business in person, etc. This allows people that don’t live close to the scavenger hunt location an opportunity to be involved and win a prize, and it also helps gain followers and subscribers as well. Requiring viewers to like and tag on the video increases engagement and gets the algorithm to share the video with more people. This video will be posted on Instagram and TikTok as a collaboration post from both the brand and Find Amazing.

Let’s talk turkey

Of course a lot of time and effort on our end goes into creating videos, running scavenger hunts and giveaways, posting on social media, and everything else involved with running our small business. So obviously we need a way to make this business sustainable so that we can keep making fun and entertaining video content in the future.

So this begs the question, how much will this collaboration cost you?

Well, the good news is that it will cost you…NOTHING!

Well, you won’t actually have to pay any money to us at least. As we’re getting this part of the business up and running we’re not asking for any monetary compensation, we’re just asking brands to provide the prizes for the scavenger hunt and giveaway. So technically it will cost you something, but even the prizes can be a benefit to you. You can give away specific prizes that have the added benefit of getting more people into your store or business. For example, gift cards that need to be used in your brick-and-mortar or online store, or a product that needs to be picked up in-store.

We will start charging brands for these collaborations in the future, but full transparency—we’d like to get a few collabs under our belt first. So if you’re thinking you might want to collaborate with us, now is the time!

FINAL THOUGHTS

I hope this info deck has given you a good idea of what we do at Find Amazing and our vision for a collaboration with you and your brand. We’d love to work with you and help promote your brand and products. If this sounds like something you’d be up for, just let us know!
