MBD PRODUCTION

What MBD PRODUCTION does

MBD PRODUCTION (legal name MBD Prodüksiyon) is a privately-held Istanbul-based media production company founded in August 2010 by Bilgehan Demir. The company delivers three core production services — dubbing/voice-over (Apollo x4 + Pro Tools Ultimate), editing and montage (Da Vinci Resolve color grading), and studio/location filming across six camera technologies — and supplements them with three equipment-rental divisions covering cameras, drones, lighting, and audio; filming studio space (greenbox, RGB lighting); and live broadcast direction systems supporting up to 16 cameras.

The business is a B2B professional services operation targeting TV networks (DMAX/Warner Bros., TV8, TV8.5), digital streaming platforms (Exxen/Acun Media), advertising agencies and brands (Samsung, Vodafone, Mitsubishi via TEMSA, Pınar Kefir), sports organizations (TPW, Glory, PBC, Matchroom, HBO Boxing, Golden Boy, Sauerland), and corporate/hospitality clients (SİNPAŞ Holding, Anadolu Hotels, ROX Hotels, Minteks, Star Çelik Kapı). A distinct revenue line comes from proprietary sports IP production, notably TPW (Turkish Power Wrestling), Fight Club Exxen, boxing fight nights, and oil wrestling (Kırkpınar) content broadcast on DMAX since 2018.

Revenue is generated through project-based production fees and unit-priced rentals (hourly, half-day, full-day, weekly) denominated in Turkish Lira excluding VAT. Disclosed revenue reached 15,900,401.50 TL in 2021 (up from 76,509 TL at founding, a 207x increase). Distribution is entirely direct (single-country/domestic channels, no intermediaries), and the company's marketing relies on the founder's personal reputation, project portfolio, and repeat referrals. The company has no disclosed institutional investors, no parent company, and no public listing.

Direct peers

• Acun Medya: Content production arm behind Exxen and other Turkish streaming/TV properties, producing reality formats and entertainment content. Comparable as a Turkish production house supplying original content to digital platforms and broadcasters.
• O3 Medya: Istanbul-based production and content company producing entertainment formats, TV programs, and branded content. Comparable to MBD in targeting Turkish broadcasters and brand clients with project-based production services.
• Med Yapım: Major Turkish production company producing drama series and TV formats for leading Turkish networks. Directly comparable as a Turkey-based, project-driven B2B production supplier targeting the same TV network and brand clients.
• Endemol Shine Turkey: Turkey office of global format giant Endemol Shine (Banijay) producing local adaptations of entertainment formats. Comparable in targeting Turkish broadcasters with produced content but operates with global backing rather than as an independent.

Broad incumbents

• PRG (Production Resource Group): Global provider of production services and equipment rental for entertainment, live events, and broadcast. Comparable on the equipment-rental and live-event production dimension, but at a far larger global scale.
