About AV Squad

AV Squad is a creative advertising agency specializing in entertainment marketing for film studios, television networks, streaming platforms and video game publishers. Founded in 2004, it began as a boutique editorial shop and expanded into a multidisciplinary agency combining audiovisual advertising, digital and social campaigns, print, live-action production and motion graphics. Its work spans theatrical releases, television programming, streaming titles and games, with operations in Los Angeles and London.

Campaign development and production

The agency's audiovisual work includes theatrical trailers, television spots and promos, sizzle reels, behind-the-scenes featurettes, season recaps and upcoming-release presentations. Creative editorial is supported by copywriting, original music composition and sound design, allowing the company to develop both the visual and audio elements of a campaign.

Digital and social capabilities extend from original content and campaign strategy to talent and influencer partnerships, experiential activations and alternate reality game executions. The team also produces platform branding packages, animation, illustration and digital out-of-home material, adapting creative work for different campaign channels.

Print work encompasses theatrical and streaming key art, character posters, publication advertising, logo design and title treatments. Production capabilities include photoshoot art direction, in-house photography, sketching, storyboarding, 3D modeling, sculpting, texturing and rendering, alongside finishing and mechanical preparation.

Live-action services cover concept development, campaign strategy, production shoots and post-production. The agency also offers VFX pre-visualization, on-set supervision, execution and beauty work. Its motion graphics practice develops 2D and 3D title animation, typography, motion posters, title sequences and animated material for digital displays.

Integrated creative work

AV Squad brings these disciplines together through in-house teams, including its dedicated print division. Its entertainment clients and partners include Netflix, Disney, Paramount, Universal, A24, Lionsgate, Warner Bros. Discovery, StudioCanal and Focus Features. The combination of editorial, design, production and finishing capabilities supports campaigns that move across audiovisual, print, social and experiential formats.
