What Bodega does

BODEGA Studios is a commercial production company and content creation studio founded in 2009 and headquartered in New York, with additional offices in Los Angeles/Beverly Hills and San Francisco. The company produces commercials, brand content, show opens, promos, films, and digital media for advertisers, brands, networks, streamers, and advertising agencies across all media platforms. Its core offering is end-to-end production — from creative development through production, animation, post-production, and final delivery — supported by a curated roster of 15 award-winning directors whose credentials include an Academy Award (Lesley Chilcott), Emmy and DGA Awards (Jason Winer), multiple Cannes Lions and D&AD Golden Pencils (Rudi Schwab), and James Beard Awards (Daniel Milder). BODEGA is part of the Northern Lights Family alongside Northern Lights (editorial/post), Mr Wonderful (design/branding), and SuperExploder (sound), giving clients integrated creative services under one roof.

The business model is professional services with project-based pricing that is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales: executive producers in NY and LA manage direct client relationships, supplemented by four regional rep firms (Hello Tomorrow on the East Coast, Covington Reps on the West Coast, MoButler Reps in the Midwest, Remedy Reps in Texas) plus a dedicated Network & Streaming lead. The company maintains preferred-vendor status with major national brands (Amazon, Disney, Microsoft, P&G, Pepsi, Verizon, Facebook, General Mills, CVS Health, Bristol Myers Squibb, Prudential, HP, LG, PVH, Chevrolet, Mazda, Salesforce) and all major US broadcast networks and streamers, and works across the major agency holding companies (Dentsu, Interpublic, Omnicom, Publicis, WPP). Quantifiable client outcomes include the Street Food Asia documentary series outperforming any prior Netflix food documentary, a Peacock campaign associated with 2 million added paid subscribers, the charity: water Gift of Time activation raising over $7M, and the NBC Sunday Night Football open averaging over 20 million weekly viewers. The company is WBENC-certified as a Women's Business Enterprise and holds memberships on AICP's Equity & Inclusion Committee. No funding rounds, acquisitions, or revenue disclosures were found in the source data.
