Use – Your subscription and any addons will automatically renew at the end of the applicable subscription period. GrowthSpurt works on one video at a time. Turnaround times are not guaranteed, but a majority of our customers get a first draft within 1-2 business days.
Service Description – Your team will only be assigned once you have submitted your first Video Request and completed a customer onboarding session. Please do this as soon as possible to avoid any delays since your account will remain unassigned but active until your first Video Request is received. We will follow up but the onus is on you to submit the Video Request.
A Project Manager and Video Editor will be assigned to your account. They will be the team who will manage and work on your projects. To maximize efficiencies in the workflow and reduce any misunderstanding the team will work on your projects one at a time. Only once the current active project is tagged as “Completed” will the Video Editor start working on the next queued project.
GrowthSpurt uses Adobe Premiere Pro as our editing software of choice. You will therefore need to provide any assets you wish the Video Editor to use to be compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro. If you require working files, we can only provide Adobe Premiere Pro project files.

Work and delivery output – While we can accept unlimited requests and revisions, our output volume depends on many factors, namely depending on the total request volume and complexity.
