Transmission

What Transmission does

Transmission Creative is a privately held, full-service production company headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, founded in 2007 and operating with 11–50 employees. The firm runs two primary service lines: promos and key art for film/TV properties (delivered via multi-stage simultaneous shoots that capture all marketing assets in a single day while integrated into active show productions) and commercial production services for global consumer brands. Its commercial work is delivered coast-to-coast across Canada (Vancouver, Toronto) and internationally via a creative-partner network, with a West Coast US presence in Los Angeles.

The customer base is bifurcated between entertainment studios and consumer brands: entertainment clients include Netflix, Warner Bros., CBS, Showtime, and Universal, with named projects spanning The Night Agent, Cabinet of Curiosities, 6 Underground, The Midnight Club, The Decameron, the Creed franchise, Fire Country, Fellow Travelers, and Minions: The Rise of Gru. Commercial clients include Bumble, Adidas, Miller Lite, Wayfair, Fidelity, ESPN, Modelo, and Starbucks. The firm also operates a Special Projects line covering long-form documentary work (e.g., 'El Arte de la Ausencia') and undisclosed new-technology initiatives currently in pre-production and production.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue, quoted per engagement rather than on a published pricing schedule. Go-to-market is sales-led and EP-anchored — relationships are managed directly by Executive Producers Kristian Andresen and Colin Hudock. Studio concentration, bespoke contracts, and lack of disclosed pricing or volume data mean revenue is highly dependent on repeat studio engagements and a small number of brand campaigns, with limited visibility into retention, utilization, or churn.
