Engagement process

We typically start with a brief to confirm objectives, audience, key messages, deliverables and deadlines, then move into pre-production to lock script/storyboards, scheduling and logistics. From there we handle production and/or asset creation, followed by post-production. This is where we edit, animate, sound mix and colour grade your project. Every step of the process is shared through structured review rounds to keep feedback efficient and aligned. Once approved, we deliver broadcast/platform-ready masters and any required versions, and remain available for updates, cutdowns and ongoing support as needed.

Case studies

Our selected work spans TV, online, corporate and animation. Recent projects include content for brands such as Kinder Surprise, Flora, Tic Tac, Smeg, Hino and Westpac.

We also have experience partnering with Birchal-supported businesses to produce pitch and campaign videos for CSF raises, including work with WOSUP, a sustainable beverage packaging and clean-tech firm.
