What ASK Media does

ASK Media (legally Ask Media Productions) is a full-service video production company headquartered in Boynton Beach, Florida, founded in 2006 by Adam Kaplan. The firm bundles live streaming, studio rental, podcast production, equipment rental, and end-to-end production support under one roof, serving national and international brand clients, advertising agencies, entertainment properties, and content creators. Its service portfolio includes custom-quoted video shoots, fully-remote Live-U-based multi-camera live broadcasts, three versatile in-studio sets (white/green cyc, on-camera kitchen, modular set), a podcast studio with PTZ multi-camera capture, and a 6,600 sq ft facility with 300-amp power and 60-foot staging bay, supported by offices or operations in Fort Lauderdale, Miami, New York, and Las Vegas.

The core technology stack rests on cinema-grade capture (ARRI Alexa 35/Mini LF/Mini, RED Gemini 5K and Komodo 6K, Sony FX9/FX6/FX3/FS7), specialty lens kits (ARRI Signature Primes, Sigma Cine, Angenieux Optimo), professional lighting (ARRI SkyPanel S60/S30, ARRI M40/M18 HMI, Aputure 1200d/600 series, Astera tubes), and a multi-configuration flypack switching infrastructure (Tricaster TC1, V-Mix, Ross Carbonite, Blackmagic, OB Truck). Live-U 600 backpacks and LU2000 servers underpin the remote production offering, enabling distributed multi-city broadcasts with off-site control rooms in Palm Beach.

ASK Media operates a project-based, custom-quoted professional services model with no public pricing or self-serve online ordering, driven by direct sales through phone (954-683-3173) and email ([email protected]) plus portfolio-driven inbound from agencies and brands. Revenue streams span full-service production, studio and podcast rental, equipment rental, and live event production. The customer base is concentrated in enterprise and agency accounts spanning automotive (Mercedes-Benz, Cadillac, Lincoln, Ford), sports (NFL, ESPN, Miami Marlins, Houston Astros), entertainment (Druski, David Guetta, Tove Lo, Billboard, Universal Music Group, Spotify, BET, Condé Nast), consumer brands (Nike, Bacardi, Naked Juice, Dunkin'), tech (Meta), and financial services (Mastercard, NY Lottery). Marketing is portfolio- and reputation-led, leveraging a website gallery, Facebook, Instagram, Vimeo, and earned press on recent productions to drive referrals and inbound enterprise deals.
