Imperial Woodpecker

What Imperial Woodpecker does

Imperial Woodpecker, LLC is a privately held commercial production company founded in 2009 and co-founded by director Stacy Wall and producing partner Doug Halbert. Headquartered at 2 Bond Street in New York with a secondary office in Los Angeles, the firm represents a curated roster of 12 commercial directors — including Stacy Wall (named by the DGA as the greatest commercial director in the world), Simon McQuoid, AG Rojas, Molly Manning Walker, and Mark Zibert — and produces television commercials, digital advertising content, branded film, music videos, and short-form content for global brand advertisers.

The company's core product is bespoke commercial production services delivered on a project basis. Underlying operations rest on a talent-centric model: directors are signed to the roster and matched with brands and agencies, with Imperial Woodpecker providing production oversight, creative collaboration, and execution. The technology stack is conventional for the live-action production industry — cameras, lighting, editing, and post-production — with no proprietary platform, software product, or disclosed AI capability. Distribution of new business is executed through a regional representation network covering the US East Coast (Representation Co.), US West Coast (The Department of Sales), US Midwest (MKH), and Europe (Rogue Films).

Imperial Woodpecker generates revenue through professional-services fees on commercial productions for an enterprise client base that includes Nike, Apple, Google, Amazon, Meta, Samsung, Adidas, Coca-Cola, Hyundai, IKEA, HSBC, and dozens of additional global brands across automotive, technology, beverages, gaming, retail, financial services, and nonprofit categories. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is scoped per project based on creative requirements, talent, and production scale. The company operates as an independent, privately held entity with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or institutional funding.
