What we do for people like you
We're based in Greenville, SC and work with service businesses across the country.
90 Day Marketing Makeover
Every business needs three videos. In 90 days (or less), we find your positioning and make all three.
Recurring social media content
One day in our 10,000 sq ft Greenville studio produces three months of content. You don't write scripts. You don't manage a thing. We even post on your accounts for you.
Digital advertising
As preferred partners of Meta and Google, we run your paid ads across social, search, traditional media, streaming platforms, and direct mail. All of it aimed at one thing: leads.

FAQ
Questions we hear a lot
Straight answers about how we work, what it costs, and what happens after you say yes.
Don't see yours? Let's talk
What does 9/8 Central actually do?
Three things. We figure out what your business should say, we make the content that says it, and we get that content in front of the right people. In practice, that means we find your message, film and produce your videos, podcasts, photos, and graphics in our Greenville studio, then post your social and run your ads for you. You run your business. We make sure people know why they should call you.
Do I have to come to Greenville, SC?
Nope! Most of our clients shoot at our Greenville studio because one day here produces months of content, and the studio gives us total control over lighting, sound, and sets. But we travel. If on location is better for your business, we bring the crew to you. Plenty of our clients are outside South Carolina, and some we've never met in person until shoot day.
How are you different from hiring freelancers or building a team in-house?
Freelancers give you production without strategy. You still have to know what to say, coordinate the shoot, and figure out where the content goes. An in-house team gives you people who dedicate all their time to you, but a Creative Director, Videographer, Editor, Social Manager, and an Ads Specialist costs over $300,000 a year in salaries before you've bought a single camera. We're the third option: a full team, a 10,000 sq ft studio, and preferred ad partnerships with Meta and Google, for less than the cost of one full-time hire. And because we handle strategy, production, and publishing together, nothing gets lost in the process.
What does getting started look like?
Step one is a call that's a conversation, not a pitch. We ask about your business, your customers, and what you're trying to grow. If we're a fit, we send a proposal with pricing and a timeline. Once you sign, our strategy team digs in with you to nail down your positioning and content plan. Once that's approved, we're filming, editing, and publishing.
How much does it cost?
It depends on how much content you need and whether we're running ads. Project work is scoped up front, and most projects start around $15K. Recurring programs are priced monthly, so you know what you're investing before we roll cameras. They start at $3,500, and most clients land around $7,500. We'll give you an exact number after one conversation, and we don't do surprise invoices.
Do you post on our accounts and run ads too?
Yes to both. We schedule and publish your content directly to your accounts, so nothing sits in a folder waiting on you. And we run your ads as preferred partners of Meta and Google, which gets your ads placed cheaper than going direct. You approve the content, and we handle everything after that.
