BALDWIN AUDIO VISUAL INC.

What BALDWIN AUDIO VISUAL INC. does

Baldwin Studio is a Canadian video transformation and audiovisual production company formed in 2024 through the merger of Obox Studio (founded 2009 as Farweb.TV, focused on digital video creativity) and Baldwin Audio Visual Solutions (founded 1984, focused on technical AV for live events). Headquartered in Montreal with offices in Ottawa (two facilities including a dedicated Virtual Events Studio), Quebec City, and Kingston, the company operates as a fully integrated studio offering end-to-end services spanning live, hybrid, and virtual event production, custom video content creation, branded and corporate content, podcasts, social media content, webcasting, accessibility services (sign language, simultaneous interpretation, CART captioning), and studio facility rental (Studio 314).

The technology stack combines in-house physical infrastructure (Studio 314 cyclorama/green screen facility, virtual events studio with customizable virtual sets), proprietary software (the Baldwin Webcast Player with branded streaming, multilingual support, and accessibility features), and integrated third-party platforms (Microsoft Teams, Zoom, WebEx, Slido, and social streaming destinations). Services are delivered by internalized production roles supplemented by a broad freelance talent network across cinematography, sound, color grading, makeup, art direction, and special effects.

The business model is primarily project-based professional services revenue (audiovisual event production, custom video content, branded content, podcasts) supplemented by recurring revenue through exclusive in-house venue partnerships with hotel properties (e.g., Marriott brands across Ottawa, Kingston, Montreal) operating on commission structures, plus studio rental on hourly/day-rate terms. Go-to-market is sales-led with dedicated account management for enterprise and government clients, complemented by venue partnership programs and event planner referral channels. Customers span enterprise (AWS, Bombardier, Bell Media, Beneva, Hydro-Québec), government and cultural institutions (Government of Canada, four Canadian museums), higher education (University of Ottawa, Queen's University), hospitality venues, and entertainment (Ottawa Senators, Place des Arts, Festival de Jazz de Montréal).
