Meyler & Company

What Meyler & Company does

Meyler & Company is a privately held, founder-owned location brokerage service based in Los Angeles, California, that connects production companies, fashion brands, editorial publications, and commercial photographers with architecturally significant residential properties for use in still photography, television, commercial, and feature film productions. The firm operates a curated roster of approximately 2,000 properties, including homes designed by notable modernist architects such as Richard Neutra and Greene & Greene, secured through direct relationships with property owners across Southern California.

The company's core service is a transaction-based brokerage: Meyler & Company scouts, vets, and negotiates location rentals on behalf of property owners and production clients, retaining an approximate 30% commission on rental fees. The business is delivered through direct sales relationships with production companies (e.g., RadicalMedia, Anonymous Content, MJZ, Park Pictures), major fashion houses (Saint Laurent, Versace, Valentino, Tiffany & Co.), and editorial brands (Vogue, Vanity Fair, Harper's Bazaar, W Magazine). Distribution is relationship-driven, with the firm's portfolio showcased through its website (meylerandco.com), a gallery of completed productions, and earned media coverage in the Financial Times, California On Location Magazine, and other industry publications.

Meyler & Company is bootstrapped with no disclosed institutional investment or funding rounds, operates with a small team (1-10 employees) led by founder Catherine Meyler, and competes on the depth of Catherine's architectural expertise, her long-standing LA Conservancy and Palm Springs Modern Committee affiliations, and the proprietary nature of its location roster. The firm does not employ a multi-module technology platform — its underlying technology is the curated property database and the founder's industry relationships rather than a software product.

• Reel Locations: Location library and scouting service for film, TV, and still photography productions. Comparable because it maintains a curated property portfolio and brokers locations to production companies, mirroring Meyler's core service.
• Location Connection: Boutique location scouting and brokerage service primarily serving film, TV, and commercial productions. Direct comparable to Meyler & Company in that both broker residential and architectural properties to production companies on a commission basis.
• Location Source: Location services and scouting platform for film, TV, and commercial production. Comparable as a brokerage-style location service competing for the same production-company clients and property-owner supply.
• Spot On Locations: Boutique location management and scouting service supporting commercial and editorial productions. Comparable in serving the same fashion, commercial, and editorial client base as Meyler & Company.
• The Scout (Location Library): Online location library connecting productions with property owners, used by location scouts across the US. Comparable as a property-to-production marketplace that competes for the same client base as Meyler & Company.

Broad incumbents

• Film LA (formerly EIDC): Official film office for the City and County of Los Angeles, providing permitting, coordination, and location resources. Broader incumbent operating at regional scale; Beth Hajnik previously worked there, indicating overlap with Meyler's operational environment.
• California Film Commission: State-level film office supporting production across California. Broad incumbent that interacts with the same production ecosystem Meyler serves, but operates as a government economic-development body rather than a private broker.

Others

• Location Managers Guild International (LMGI): Industry association for location professionals in film and TV. Related rather than directly competitive; represents the broader professional community in which Meyler & Company's network operates.
