What Mirada does

Mirada is a Los Angeles-based creative agency and production company operating as Mirada LLC, a Delaware corporation established in 2018 with roots reaching back more than twenty years through the prior MTh/Mirada entity. The studio is affiliated with Trailer Park Group (mirrored in shared terms-of-service and privacy-policy links). Mirada offers an integrated portfolio of services spanning Production (live action for commercials and music videos), Design & Animation (holistic branding and motion design), Immersive (AR/VR/XR experiences using Unreal Engine), Large Format (Sphere takeovers, 80-foot 13K LED installations, anamorphic billboards, projection mapping), and Strategy consulting for marketing, product, and brand teams. Its proprietary technology stack includes a custom VFX pipeline enabling real-time relighting and CG/live-action integration, ethically trained IP-specific generative AI models, and integrated audio-visual display technology used in permanent installations such as the Netflix Lobby Experience.

The company's revenue model is professional-services/project-based with custom pricing per engagement; no public rate cards exist and inquiries are handled through a dedicated sales email and regional sales representatives covering the East, Midwest, and West US, plus dedicated music-video representation. Mirada is structured horizontally across customer segments: Major Brands and Agencies (primary), Entertainment and Streaming Companies (primary), Sports Leagues and Broadcasters, and Technology Companies. Its customer base includes Netflix, Disney, Warner Bros., Apple, Amazon Prime Video, Target, ESPN, NHL, Intel, IBM, Google, Hellmann's, Cheetos/PepsiCo, Dole, and Angelina Jolie / Katy Perry among others.

Mirada differentiates on a talent-led creative model—with directors including Mathew Cullen (President & CCO), Vanessa Marzaroli, Robin Resella, and newer additions such as Michaela Ternasky-Holland—and on a body of work recognized by Cannes Lions, D&AD Pencils, Grammys, Emmys, MTV VMAs, Clio, VES, Webby, and ADC awards. Recurring flagship work includes Netflix tentpole idents (Wednesday, Stranger Things, Frankenstein), Disney's World of Color and Mandalorian Super Bowl spot, Sphere takeovers for Intel, IBM/Adobe, Google Android, and Hellmann's, and AI-driven campaign applications such as the Beetlejuice "Welcome To The Afterlife Generator." Mirada Studios markets through its portfolio website, Instagram, LinkedIn, and industry events including CES and Comic-Con.
