Competency

To be more precise, achieving this competency reflects our ability to deliver scalable, cost-effective solutions that drive business agility and elevate the consumer experience. From content production to direct-to-consumer distribution and data analytics, we’ve been building impactful solutions that empower our clients to reimagine what’s possible in today’s fast-paced, ever-evolving industry. By leveraging AWS best practices, we empower our customers to modernize their operations, reduce costs and enhance scalability—all while delivering seamless, engaging experiences to their audiences.

Our transformative solutions are helping companies reshape media and entertainment.

Whether it’s evolving workflows for content production, streamlining media supply chains, or enhancing direct-to-consumer distribution,

Our AWS Media & Entertainment expertise is already delivering tangible results for leading companies. For example, we 

(opens in a new tab) with Meta to revolutionize NBA broadcasting through immersive virtual reality experiences. Over four seasons, we enabled fans to experience more than 50 NBA games courtside in VR, complete with live commentary from NBA and WNBA champions and the ability to interact socially with friends, fellow viewers and even athletes. By leveraging a cloud-based, software-defined production workflow powered by AWS and NVIDIA, we streamlined traditional broadcasting processes, using just five cameras and a small crew to deliver stunning 8K, 60 fps footage. The result was a highly engaging and interactive way for fans to connect with the game, demonstrating how cloud-enabled workflows can redefine content delivery.

Similarly, we partnered with ITV Studios to test a modernized production workflow for ITV’s flagship morning show, This Morning. Faced with the challenge of reducing costs, improving sustainability, and enhancing creative opportunities, ITV Studios explored a hybrid cloud-based production setup with our support. We migrated key production processes to the cloud, seamlessly integrating on-site crews with a cloud-based control room. This experiment demonstrated reduced reliance on energy-intensive broadcast equipment, increased stability with built-in redundancies and improved efficiency. 

Additionally, by leveraging AWS’s

Remote collaboration capabilities also unlocked new opportunities for creativity and diversity within production teams.

These projects underscore how we’re empowering companies to reimagine their workflows, reduce operational complexities, and deliver authentic, interactive and sustainable experiences. Whether enabling fans to feel like they’re court-side or helping broadcasters achieve greater flexibility and resilience, we’re committed to driving transformation across the media and entertainment industry.

Our blend of innovation and industry expertise further sets us apart.

At the heart of our approach is a commitment to cloud native agile production (CNAP), a methodology that combines the agility of cloud technology with the operational rigor of production workflows. We strive not just to support production systems in a traditional operator-focused manner but to rethink them through a cloud-native lens. This means embracing the elasticity of the cloud—the ability to spin resources up or down dynamically—and embedding efficiencies that empower businesses to move faster while optimizing costs. Having walked in the shoes of production operators ourselves, we approach these challenges with empathy, bridging the gap between operational needs and executive goals. This perspective enables us to deliver solutions that drive tangible results while addressing the unique pain points of the production ecosystem.

As a marketing and technology services business with a rich legacy in production, our roots lie in the making, tracking, and delivery of images—a core capability we’ve refined and scaled through innovations like generative AI. But our value extends far beyond content creation. By combining a deep understanding of production workflows with cloud-native principles, our technologists design and build pipelines that enable faster, more efficient content delivery, including live broadcast capabilities. This fusion of technical innovation, operational empathy, and industry expertise is what truly sets us apart.

We’re not a traditional broadcast company, but we bring the perspective of seasoned veterans who intimately understand the industry’s challenges. This enables us to lead with empathy and address pain points with the confidence and trust that comes from having walked in our clients’ shoes. 

Together, we’re building a future defined by creativity, progress and transformation.

Achieving the AWS Media & Entertainment Competency reflects our commitment to helping media and entertainment companies fully realize the potential of the cloud. This recognition underscores our ability to deliver solutions that solve complex challenges and enable meaningful progress in the industry.

Looking ahead, we’re focused on empowering our clients to respond to change, push boundaries, and create lasting impact. With every project, we aim to shape a future where innovation drives new possibilities for media and entertainment.
