Why US brands choose a European partner who works like a US team
Flying a full crew from New York or Los Angeles to Cannes is expensive, and hiring locally can feel risky. Different working habits, language barriers, slow service and day-of surprises are the usual complaints.
We close that gap. Our co-founder Anna Muckerman is American and has produced videos for Eater since 2020. Our team has worked hand in hand with US editorial teams, including BBC journalists in New York and Business Insider's events teams. You get one English-speaking point of contact, clear quotes and a crew that understands US briefs, formats and expectations.
