Services

We work with brand managers and agency creatives to bring award-winning directors, producers, and finishers with nationally broadcast ad experience to your productions. You’ll love it because these broadcast and digital commercials are smartly produced, expertly driven, and attainable for your brands. We call our model "Storytelling Equality."

Our model is designed to give brands the option of working directly with a national- broadcast-quality production company and directors to get ad-agency level commercials + digital content for a lot less time, investment and overhead.
Need creative as well? We partner with internal marketing teams and seasoned ad agency creative directors to come up with multiple options presented in fancy decks just like an agency. Adapt, mix and match, suggest, we don’t charge hourly so run wild.
Plus we have the bandwidth to deliver multiple assets for larger brands by planning and shooting projects utilizing many situations that can be used across one or several campaigns, with broadcast and/or digital versions, different formats for social media, and even stills for OOH, website and digital advertising.

Pre-Production

When it comes to the preparation needed to plan a well-executed project, our production team is second to none. There are no juniors or assistants here, we’re built on experience and grounded in budget realities. Will your project need casting, location scouts, extensive art direction, and wardrobe fittings? No matter what size project, no matter where the location, our pre-production expertise covers top-notch projects shot all over.

Need creative direction, storyboards, and concepts? Our extended network of creative directors and art directors can serve as an extension of your in-house marketing team.

Our pre-production will lay the foundation to make sure all of the next steps all follow according to plan.

Production

Next is the most exciting, fulfilling part of a project’s journey, and our award-winning directors, producers & crew have all the major brand experience - products, food, beverage, people, comedy, dialogue, stage sets, musical parodies - you name it our team has produced it.

The actors we hire are booked using the same casting directors and talent pool as the ad agencies but we license our talent for longer and better terms, often including print, digital signage, OTT, and online rights in the process.

Nobody works well under pressure on a stressful set, and our directors have the cool, creative personalities that only comes with experience. Why do we love the production days so much? Because at Explore, we always get the performance and we always get the shot, but we always make sure to have fun along the way.

Editorial

Our editors are creative and nuanced, understanding how to help channel the creative from your mind’s eye onto screen. We listen and learn to feel your flow, and then take a little of the heads or tails off to make the smallest of changes make the biggest of differences.

Our team of offline and online post-production professionals can work with you either remotely or in-person, and have all the big-campaign experience you'll ever need.
