What Shake Productions does

Shake Productions is a privately held casting, location, and production services company founded in 2000 by Dake Gonzalez in the Bahamas. The firm delivers end-to-end production support to enterprise fashion, beauty, retail, and media brands, offering four core service lines: casting, location scouting and provision, stills (photography) production, and motion (video) production, alongside a Global Locals network that connects productions with local crew and talent across regions. Its value proposition centers on the founder's 25-year relationship network, deep roots in the Bahamas, and curated access to locations spanning the Caribbean, North and South America, Europe, and beyond.

The company operates from offices in New York (headquarters), Miami, Los Angeles, Paris, Milan, Morocco, and Harbour Island, Bahamas. Its client base includes more than 50 named enterprise accounts such as Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Zara, Gap, J.Crew, adidas, Sephora, YSL Beauty, La Mer, Nordstrom, Vogue UK, and GQ France. The company is bootstrapped, privately held, and has no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or parent company.

The revenue model is professional services: pricing is quote-based and negotiated per project, with no public pricing disclosures. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales driven by direct relationships with brand marketing teams, fashion photographers, and creative agencies, supported by a website portfolio and Instagram and LinkedIn presence. The company positions itself around being a 'family' on set, leveraging the founder's local knowledge and trust network to execute shoots in diverse global locations for premium clients.
