Ideas pile up.
Ads go stale.
The founder runs every shoot.
Or — the ads run,
the funnel leaks,
and nobody on the team owns the fix.
That's the pattern. Storyforma replaces it with a system. Pattern observed · $1M+ DTC
The Deliverable

Three months in.
This is what exists
that did not exist before.

Not a process diagram. Deliverables. What's on your drive, in your ad account, and on your feed 90 days from the kick-off call.

Phase IThe System
01

The System.

  • Brand, audience, and competitive immersion complete.
  • Content system designed around how your audience actually engages — paid, organic, or both.
  • Script and shot list locked for your first content day.
  • Go / no-go call to confirm the plan before any camera turns on.
Phase IIThe Content
02

The Content.

  • One content day shot — on-site LA, remote-directed, or hybrid.
  • 20–30 pieces of content delivered platform-ready.
  • Short-form video, ad creative, organic social, brand assets.
  • All final assets delivered platform-ready, owned by you forever.
Phase IIIThe Compound
03

The Compound.

  • Performance data reviewed against your paid + organic channels.
  • Winners identified and packaged for distribution at scale.
  • Next quarter's content system updated on what actually converted.

The Deal

Three ways
to start.

Content needs time to compound — but not every brand starts in the same place. Three engagement shapes, dialed on the call.

30-Day

Lead Engine

For brands where the funnel or offer needs to work before content scales. Flat fee, no commitment beyond 30 days. You leave with the funnel asset, the creatives, and the tracking data either way — and a debrief on what's working, what isn't, and what to do next.

Custom

Project-Based

For brands with a specific deliverable in mind — a launch film, a campaign shoot, a product photography day. Custom scope, custom timeline. Scoped on the call.

The Work

What the system
actually ships.

Three engagements.
Real numbers. No stock footage.

Quarterly·Content Batch 01 / 03

Back Bone
Society.

A full quarter of content from a single content day. DTC clothing — editorial-grade output on a quarterly cadence.
Lead Engine+Creative 02 / 03

Total Body
Experts.

204 commercial leads at $12.09 CPL. $12,400 closed in 3 weeks. Fitness equipment — B2B + B2C ad creative.
Lead Engine+Creative 03 / 03

Amirian
Home.

289 leads + ~$16,000 in confirmed sales in a single month. Luxury tile — cold start on paid DMs.

About

Run by one person,
operated from LA.

Storyforma is run by Gianluca Piovani. 15 years in film and video production, with credits on campaigns for A24, Masterclass, and Amazon Prime Video — experience in rooms where the creative standard is non-negotiable.

Operated from LA. Engagements run on-site in LA (we shoot with our team), remote-directed (we direct your in-house team or a crew we hire in your city), or hybrid.

FAQs

Four things
we get asked most.

/ 01
Do I need to be in LA?
No. Storyforma runs three production modes: on-site in LA (we shoot with our team), remote-directed (we direct your in-house team or a crew we hire in your city), or hybrid. We handle creative direction, scripts, and edits from LA regardless of where the camera is.
+
/ 02
What's the difference between Lead Engine and Content Batch?
Lead Engine builds the funnel and the creatives that run on top of it — for brands whose ads aren't converting or whose offer needs sharpening. Content Batch produces a quarter of platform-ready content from one content day — for brands whose funnel is working but whose creative supply is the bottleneck. Most clients eventually use both.
+
/ 03
How do you handle scripts and creative direction?
Both are handled by Storyforma. Pre-production includes brand immersion, audience research, and competitive review — then scripts and shot lists are written, reviewed with you, and locked before any camera turns on. You approve the plan in writing before production begins.
+
/ 04
What happens after the strategy call?
If it's a fit, you get a written scope and a start date. If it's not, you get an honest "not a fit" and a referral when we have one. The call itself is useful either way.
