MEDIAWORKS PRODUCTIONS IS A FULL-SERVICE VIDEO PRODUCTION COMPANY BASED IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, WITH OVER 15 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE BRINGING HIGH-QUALITY VIDEO CONTENT TO LIFE. WE PARTNER WITH A HANDPICKED NETWORK OF LOCAL TALENT — FROM DIRECTORS, WRITERS, AND DIRECTORS OF PHOTOGRAPHY TO EDITORS, MOTION GRAPHICS ARTISTS, VOICE-OVER ARTISTS, AND SOUND ENGINEERS.
AT MEDIAWORKS, WE BELIEVE THE PRODUCTION TEAM SHOULD BE BUILT AROUND THE PROJECT, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. EVERY CLIENT GETS A CUSTOM-ASSEMBLED TEAM OF EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS, CHOSEN SPECIFICALLY FOR THEIR EXPERTISE IN WHAT THAT PARTICULAR JOB DEMANDS.
GET YOUR VIDEO SEEN
AT MEDIAWORKS PRODUCTIONS, WE BELIEVE MAKING A GREAT VIDEO IS ONLY HALF THE JOB. MOST PRODUCTION COMPANIES HAND YOU A FINISHED FILE AND CALL IT DONE — WE DON'T. WE STAY WITH YOU THROUGH WHAT WE CALL THE DISTRIBUTION PHASE: THE CRITICAL PERIOD AFTER THE CAMERA STOPS ROLLING WHEN YOUR VIDEO ACTUALLY NEEDS TO FIND ITS AUDIENCE. THAT MEANS OPTIMIZING YOUR CONTENT FOR SEARCH, ADVISING ON PLATFORM STRATEGY, AND MAKING SURE THE RIGHT PEOPLE SEE WHAT WE WORKED SO HARD TO CREATE TOGETHER.
THINK OF IT THE WAY HOLLYWOOD THINKS ABOUT FILM DISTRIBUTION. A STUDIO CAN POUR EVERYTHING INTO MAKING A GREAT MOVIE, BUT WITHOUT A DISTRIBUTION PLAN, IT NEVER REACHES THE AUDIENCE IT DESERVES. THE SAME IS TRUE FOR CORPORATE VIDEO, BRAND CONTENT, AND MARKETING CAMPAIGNS. AT MEDIAWORKS, WE WALK OUR CLIENTS FROM THE VERY FIRST CREATIVE CONVERSATION ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO REAL-WORLD RESULTS — BECAUSE A VIDEO THAT NOBODY SEES ISN'T DOING ITS JOB. FROM CONCEPTION TO FINAL CUT TO ROI, WE'RE WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.
“It's rare I get to work with someone who is a true creative partner that helps me craft the story. That's the only way we got that video done.”
