Frequently Asked Questions

QLM works with organizations that need to make complex subjects understandable and engaging. This includes institutions, NGOs, foundations, banks, universities, public-interest programs, brands, media organizations and companies with educational, social or cultural messages to explain.

QLM combines editorial thinking, media experience and audiovisual production. We do not only film or edit. We help define the angle, structure the story, adapt the format to the audience and produce content that can live on digital platforms.

QLM is not built around advertising first. We are built around clarity, curiosity and useful content. We help partners communicate through explanation, storytelling and editorial value, not only through promotional messages.

Yes. QLM is particularly relevant for institutions and organizations that need to explain social, environmental, economic, educational or cultural topics to a wider public. Our work with partners such as WWF North Africa, DW Akademie and Oumouri El Maliya shows this capacity.

QLM produces explainers, short videos, reels, podcasts, interviews, mini-documentaries, motion design, social media adaptations, educational carousels and multi-format editorial campaigns.

An explainer is a video designed to make a complex subject understandable. It can cover a social issue, a public-interest topic, a scientific idea, a financial concept, a brand territory or an institutional program. QLM explainers combine research, writing, visual storytelling, editing and sound.

Yes. QLM produces short vertical formats for platforms such as TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook and YouTube Shorts. These formats can be standalone or derived from a larger content piece.

Yes. QLM produces audio and audiovisual podcasts. We can support the editorial preparation, guest structure, filming, recording, editing, sound, visual setup and social media excerpts.

Yes. This is one of our strongest models. QLM can help design a recurring content system with a calendar, formats, editorial angles, production rhythm, publishing logic and reporting.

We start from the audience and the question they need answered. Instead of simply asking “what do we want to say?”, we ask “what does the audience need to understand, remember or discuss?” This helps us build clearer and more useful content.

We simplify the path, not the substance. We clarify the structure, define the right level of detail, use examples and analogies, and build a narrative that makes the subject easier to follow while preserving accuracy.

Yes. For partner projects, QLM works with clear validation steps: brief, angle, script or structure, visual direction when needed, first version, revisions and final delivery. The goal is to protect both editorial clarity and partner requirements.

We treat sensitive topics with additional care: source checking, balanced framing, clear wording, careful tone and validation with the partner when relevant. QLM’s experience with social, economic, environmental and institutional subjects helps us manage this type of work.

A typical project follows six steps: brief, editorial framing, script or structure, production, post-production and delivery. For larger programs, we also add planning, recurring coordination and reporting.

Timelines depend on the format and complexity. A short social video can be produced faster than a long explainer or documentary-style piece. After receiving the brief, QLM proposes a realistic timeline based on research, scripting, filming, editing, validation and delivery needs.

Yes. QLM Studio covers filming, editing, sound, motion design, subtitles and platform-specific adaptations. Depending on the project, we can combine filmed footage, interviews, archive material, animation, graphics and voice-over.

Yes. QLM can work in Arabic, Tunisian Arabic, French and English depending on the project, target audience and format. Subtitling and multilingual adaptations can also be included.

In some cases, yes. QLM can produce content for partner-owned channels, for QLM channels, or for a mixed distribution model. When content is published or promoted through QLM channels, the editorial fit, transparency and audience relevance must be clear.

Production covers the creation of the content. Activation covers how the content is distributed, promoted, adapted and circulated across platforms. Some projects only need production; others need both production and activation.

Yes. A long video can become reels, shorts, quote cards, carousels, teasers, stories or podcast excerpts. QLM designs these adaptations so each format has a clear role instead of simply cutting the same content randomly.

QLM estimates a project based on format, duration, complexity, research needs, filming requirements, motion design, number of deliverables, languages, revisions, activation and timeline.

Ownership and usage rights depend on the project agreement. QLM can deliver content for partner use, publish content through QLM channels, or work within a co-branded model. Rights, usage scope and publication channels should be clarified before production starts.

Depending on the project, QLM can deliver master files, social media exports, subtitles, thumbnails, audio versions, cutdowns, platform-specific versions and other agreed assets.

Yes. QLM projects usually include a defined number of revision rounds. Additional revisions can be discussed depending on the scope, timing and nature of the changes.

A useful brief should include the subject, objective, target audience, desired formats, platforms, timing, budget range, references, validation process and any technical or institutional constraints.

Yes. Many projects start with a topic or communication need rather than a fully defined format. QLM can help clarify the angle, format, narrative structure and production approach.
