What Freemotion group does

Freemotion Group is a Moscow-based communication agency founded in 1996 that specializes in full-cycle video production for corporate and institutional clients. The agency's core offering spans corporate films, documentary films, video advertising, digital content, television projects, event production, and integrated communications campaigns. It operates a fully in-house production model with employed directors, screenwriters, cinematographers, lighting specialists, editors, composers, and professional voice actors, removing reliance on external creative subcontractors and enabling end-to-end control from concept through delivery.

The company serves a concentrated mix of large Russian enterprises, state-affiliated organizations, and a few international clients, with named relationships across oil and gas (Gazprom, Gazprom Neft, SIBUR, Sakhalin Energy, EVRAZ, Salym Petroleum Development), telecommunications (MTS, Megafon, Rostelecom, VK Video), aerospace (S7 Airlines, OAK, ODK Klimov), manufacturing (BelAZ, Tarkett, Technonicol, MTZ), mining and metals (Nordgold, SUEK), FMCG (Panino, Pasta Mama, Quelyd), and government (Federal Customs Service, Russian Expo 2025 Bid Committee). Revenue is generated on a project-based professional services model with pricing negotiated per engagement; no recurring SaaS, subscription, or licensing revenue is disclosed.

Freemotion monetizes primarily through prize-based brand visibility at international corporate video festivals (Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards, New York Festivals, US International Film Festival, BeMA, TEFI) and direct enterprise sales. It claims 300+ projects produced annually over 30 years and self-reports as 'Number 1 in the world' by leading corporate video festivals. Since 2018 it is the only CIS member of the International Quorum of Motion Picture Producers. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding, no parent organization, and no subsidiaries; Andrey Kotov serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors.
