Media Movers

What Media Movers does

Media Movers (MediaMovers Inc.) is a privately held New York-based content localization and production company serving broadcasting channels, film and television companies, government programming, and corporate/educational content producers on a worldwide basis. Founded in 1999, the company operates two integrated verticals — content production and content localization — with a core focus on dubbing and subtitling for broadcast and streaming media. Its service portfolio spans dubbing, subtitling, voiceover, closed captioning, audio description, transcription, video/audio production, 2D/3D animation, and full post-production, complemented by adjacent offerings in game localization, e-learning/CBT/WBT localization, and IVR prompt recording. The company differentiates on language breadth (400+ languages and dialects, including rare and indigenous varieties) and on native talent with backgrounds in advertising, theater, radio, TV, and film.

The underlying technology is a state-of-the-art post-production facility rather than a software platform: the stack includes Avid DS|HD online finishing, 2K/4K Digital Intermediate, HD/SD color correction, Avid Symphony, Final Cut Pro HD, ProTools HD sound design, HDCAM SR, D5, DVCPRO HD, and HDV, with 3D conversion, digital compositing, stereoscopic compositing, rotoscoping, and green/blue screen keying. Delivery covers streaming media, mobile TV, film, television, VOD, SVOD, Blu-ray/DVD, and digital video across 4K/2K/HD/SD/UHD2D/3D/DCP/HDR/IMAX and Screen X formats via cloud-based secure content delivery. The closed-captioning offering is certified against Section 508, NIST SP800-171, WCAG/W3C, FCC, DCMP, ADA, and NAD mandates, positioning the firm for regulated-buyer and government work.

The business model is B2B professional services sold via direct enterprise sales and inside-sales motions on a quote-based, project-priced model with multi-year contract cadences. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Customer segmentation is vertical (broadcasting, film/TV, government, corporate/education), and the company does not disclose named customer logos, revenue, funding, or management-team composition beyond founder Ron Deschenes. There are no disclosed venture or private equity investors, acquisitions, or recent leadership changes in the input data.
