About Seismic Productions
Seismic Productions is an independent entertainment advertising and creative marketing agency based in Los Angeles. Founded in 1989, the company develops audiovisual campaigns for theatrical releases, television, streaming platforms and home entertainment. Its work combines creative strategy with trailer production, editorial, copywriting, motion graphics and music supervision.
The agency began as a boutique trailer house with a strong presence in independent cinema. Early campaigns included The Crying Game, Four Weddings and a Funeral and Fargo. It subsequently expanded into major studio releases, television marketing, streaming launches and digital home entertainment, building a portfolio that spans independent films and commercial blockbusters.
Campaign development and production
Seismic's capabilities cover campaign positioning and concept development through audiovisual execution. Its output includes theatrical trailers, teasers, television and streaming spots, featurettes, and digital and social campaigns. Supporting disciplines include motion graphics, main title design, post-production editorial, copy concepting, music supervision and licensing.
This combination allows the company to contribute both the central creative direction of a campaign and the individual pieces used across its release. Its television and streaming work includes spots in multiple durations, while its theatrical practice encompasses teaser, trailer and redband materials.
Entertainment marketing portfolio
The company's campaign history includes Beauty and the Beast, American Sniper, La La Land, Cruella, Les Misérables, Brokeback Mountain and The Devil Wears Prada. Its work has served major studios and distributors including Disney, Warner Bros. Pictures, Universal Pictures, Paramount and Focus Features, alongside streaming platforms such as Netflix and Amazon MGM Studios.
Across this portfolio, Seismic has produced marketing for drama, comedy and other entertainment genres. Its campaigns have received recognition from the Clio Entertainment Awards and Golden Trailer Awards, reflecting a practice that has developed from independent theatrical marketing into a broader entertainment advertising business.
