What our partners say
I can't say enough good things about Matt Watts and the incredible team at Viva Media! They recently created a short video for our Instagram, which we used for a media launch in Toronto for StretchLab.
Not only did the video perfectly capture the essence of our business, but it also achieved an astounding record low cost per lead (CPL) of just $0.84!
We had a fantastic experience working with VIVA. The entire team were knowledgable, professional, helpful, patient and detail-obsessed, making our lives so easy at what is typically a very stressful time.
Every step of the process was planned meticulously which led to a seamless shooting and editing experience. We and our clients were delighted with the final products. Looking forward to working with the guys again!
Would give VIVA MEDIA a 10/5 if I could!
They did a COVID video for my company who is new to releasing video content for our social media - needless to say, they were SUPER accommodating and had a very fast turnover rate. From beginning to end, Matt (our project manager), and his team was able to deliver a video that was everything we needed and more; his team even worked overtime to get us our video before the timeframe we needed it.
Fantastic to work with!
They seemed to easily understand what I was after. Viva not only delivered what I was asking & hoping for, they exceeded my expectations and delivered aspects that I didn't even think to ask!

Questions You Should Be Asking (FAQs)
How much does professional video production cost in Toronto?
Most agencies treat this question like a state secret. We won't. Quality video production in Toronto typically ranges from $10,000 to $100,000+ depending on complexity. Most of our projects land somewhere in the $25,000 to $75,000 range. Every quote is tailored to your specific project and goals. Some clients have full marketing teams they want us to integrate with. Others come to us with no idea what they need. We build around where you're at. The most expensive video isn't the one with the highest price tag. It's the one that sits on your website doing nothing. Video is a tool, and we're obsessed with picking the right tool for the right job instead of padding budgets with cinematic fluff that tanks on performance.
How long does the video production process take?
From concept to final delivery, most projects take 4-6 weeks. Timeline depends on complexity: a straightforward interview video moves faster than a multi-location commercial with animation. Factors that affect the schedule include number of shoot days, how many stakeholders need to approve, whether we're incorporating motion graphics, and how quickly feedback comes back during revisions. Rush jobs are possible but rarely advisable. They typically sacrifice the strategic thinking that separates forgettable videos from ones that actually perform. We'll build a timeline around your specific needs and we'll hit our deadlines. That's not a sales pitch. It's just how we operate.
Should I hire a video production company or just do it ourselves?
Honest answer? It depends on what you're making. DIY works fine for quick social clips or internal updates where polish matters less than speed. But for anything customer-facing like brand videos, commercials, or product launches, professional production pays for itself. Our clients typically see 2-3X better engagement than DIY alternatives. And the time you save not wrestling with lighting setups and editing software has real value. The better question isn't "should we hire professionals?" It's "what's the cost of putting amateur content in front of potential customers?"
What's actually included in your video production pricing?
We handle the entire process from start to finish. It begins with a discovery call where we learn where you're at, what you're trying to achieve, and what success actually looks like for your business. From there we build a custom strategy designed to drive that specific outcome. The quote itself includes concept development, scriptwriting, professional crew and equipment, filming, editing, color grading, sound design, music licensing, and two rounds of revisions. No surprise invoices. No mysterious line items. We break down exactly where every dollar goes before you commit to anything, and if something's optional or could save you money, we'll say so.
Do I need a script or concept before reaching out?
Nope. Some clients come to us with detailed briefs and their own marketing teams ready to collaborate. Others have absolutely no idea what they want. Both are completely fine. Everything starts with a discovery call where we figure out where you're at, what you're trying to accomplish, and what's actually going to drive the result you need. We build a custom strategy from there. Come to us with a fully baked concept or just a vague sense that you need better video. Either way, we'll guide you to something that works.
What makes your videos outperform the competition?
Two things: strategy before creativity, and a borderline unhealthy obsession with results. Most production companies focus on making videos that look good. We focus on making videos that work. Every creative decision runs through one filter: will this drive the business outcome we need? That's why one client saw their cost-per-lead drop to $0.84 on a social video we produced. And why brands like McDonald's, TD Bank, and Nestlé keep coming back. We don't just deliver pretty footage. We deliver measurable business impact. There's a difference.
Who actually works on my video project?
Senior talent. Not interns learning on your budget. Every project gets a dedicated producer as your single point of contact throughout. Our core team includes experienced directors, cinematographers, editors, and motion designers who've worked on national campaigns. We don't farm work out to random freelancers and hope for the best. The people in your strategy meeting are the same people on set and in the edit suite. You'll know exactly who's handling your project from day one.
Why choose a Toronto-based video production company?
Local knowledge makes everything smoother. We know which Toronto locations work for different brands. We have established relationships with local talent and crews. We can be on-site when you need us without billing you for flights and hotels. No timezone headaches. No cultural translation issues. When something needs to change on shoot day (and something always does), having a team that knows the city saves time and money. Plus, we actually understand the Canadian market instead of awkwardly applying American trends north of the border.
