1971 Hook · Director’s cutWatch on WERZ ↗The approach
The product is only the beginning.
The ingredients, the maker, the serving ritual, the place it comes from: those details give your brand a story people can recognize. We plan film and photography together so each production serves your product pages, campaign, and retail conversations.

Before we begin
A few useful
answers.
Which CPG categories have you worked in?
The named first-party reference here is 1971 Hook, WERZ’s owned hot-sauce brand. New food, beverage, and consumer categories are evaluated on their own production requirements.
Can content support retail and DTC?
Yes. We plan distinct deliverables for product pages, sell sheets, presentations, and social channels before filming. Creative assets do not guarantee retail placement or sales.
Do you provide photography too?
Yes. WERZ’s 1971 Hook work includes editorial product photography. Still photography should be included explicitly in your project’s deliverable list.
Can you help us create an ongoing series?
Yes. We can scope recurring product or culinary content around a defined asset count, collaborators, review process, and delivery schedule.
