What Cross Host does

Cross Host is a privately held Brazilian audiovisual production company founded in 2005 and headquartered in São Paulo, operating four professional studios equipped with LED panel backgrounds, 4K cameras, acoustic isolation, and redundant internet and power infrastructure. The company delivers end-to-end production services spanning podcast and videocast recording, corporate event filming, hybrid and online event coverage, simultaneous multi-platform live streaming (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Vimeo), HTML5-based web radio and AAC-Plus streaming, dedicated event internet, aftermovie editing, and virtual corporate celebrations. Its technical stack includes adaptive bitrate transcoding, cloud-based stream recording (60-day retention), and Google AdSense-compatible HTML5 players, with ChatGPT integration limited to podcast scripting workflows.

Cross Host serves primarily Brazilian corporate enterprises and brands across financial services (Santander, XP Investimentos), healthcare (Oncoclínicas, Febrasgo), automotive (Toyota), consumer/retail (L'Occitane, Tupperware, Marilan), professional services (Deloitte, Clear Sale), pharmaceutical (Ipsen), and media (Estadão). Revenue is generated through per-episode podcast fees (starting at R$2,000 per raw-footage episode), monthly recurring podcast contracts at discounted rates, project-based event production quotes, and managed web-radio/streaming services. The company operates a direct B2B sales motion through website contact forms, WhatsApp, phone, and inbound from industry events such as Brazil Promotion.

Cross Host is led by CEO Jailton Santos and operates as an independent, founder-controlled business with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no M&A activity. The business model is primarily professional services with selective managed-services recurring components, anchored in São Paulo but with stated nationwide event coverage capability across Brazil.
