Here’s the industry’s open secret: most creative agencies in Toronto don’t actually produce anything. They concept. They pitch. Then they subcontract the production to someone else — adding a markup and losing control of quality in the process.
Viva Media is different. We’re a vertically integrated creative agency — strategy, scripting, production, post, and performance tracking all happen under one roof. No middlemen, no handoffs, no surprises.
The result? Better creative, faster timelines, and campaigns where every dollar goes toward making your content better — not padding someone’s management fee.
We build video marketing strategies grounded in audience research, competitive analysis, and business objectives. Not mood boards — actual strategies with measurable KPIs, distribution plans, and content calendars.
From national broadcast campaigns to daily social content, we produce video at every scale. Professional crews, premium equipment, and senior talent on every shoot.
We don’t hand you files and walk away. Every campaign includes performance tracking, reporting, and optimization recommendations so your next video performs even better.
Traditional: Extensive strategic planning billed hourly with no production accountability.
Viva Media: Strategy built into every project — audience research, KPIs, and distribution planning included.
Traditional: Outsourced to third-party vendors with markups and quality inconsistency.
Viva Media: In-house senior crews, professional equipment, and direct creative control on every shoot.
Traditional: Agency markup plus separate production fees — paying two companies for one project.
Viva Media: One transparent price for strategy through delivery. No hidden fees, no middlemen.
Traditional: 8–16 weeks typical with handoffs between strategy and production teams.
Viva Media: 4–6 weeks typical. One team, no handoffs, no delays between phases.
Traditional: Finger-pointing between vendors when things go wrong.
Viva Media: Single point of contact from kickoff to delivery. One team owns the outcome.
Traditional: Vanity metrics like reach and impressions with no business impact tracking.
Viva Media: Business metrics — ROI, cost-per-lead, conversions, and revenue attribution.

Toronto is home to one of North America’s fastest-growing creative economies, and Viva Media has been part of that ecosystem since day one. Based at 777 The Queensway in Toronto’s west end, we work alongside the city’s best directors, cinematographers, editors, animators, and producers.
Our local network means we can scale production quickly for large campaigns, access diverse filming locations across the GTA, and tap into Toronto’s deep talent pool for specialized projects.
Toronto — Downtown core, Entertainment District, King West, Leslieville
North York — Corporate campuses, retail locations, studio spaces
Scarborough — Community stories, diverse brand activations
Mississauga & Brampton — Industrial, corporate, and commercial shoots
Markham & Vaughan — Tech corridors and suburban brand content
Broader GTA — On-location production anywhere in the Greater Toronto Area
Traditional agencies typically handle strategy and concept, then outsource production to a third-party production house — adding cost and complexity. Viva Media handles everything in-house: strategy, scripting, production, post-production, and performance tracking. You get agency-level thinking at production pricing, with one team accountable for results.
Video is our core, but our strategy work covers the full marketing funnel. We help brands develop content strategies, distribution plans, and performance frameworks that often include photography, motion graphics, and written content alongside video.
We work with brands at every stage — from growth-stage startups building their first video strategy to enterprise brands like TD Bank and Nestlé running national campaigns. Our sweet spot is companies spending $25,000–$100,000+ annually on video content who want a strategic partner, not just a vendor.
We define KPIs at the start of every project — conversions, cost-per-lead, engagement rates, revenue attribution, or whatever metrics matter most to your business. We provide performance dashboards and quarterly reviews, and we use data from each campaign to improve the next one. Our clients average a 3.2X ROI on commercial projects.
Most clients start with a single project (usually in the $25,000–$75,000 range) and then move to a retainer or ongoing content partnership. Typical project timelines are 4–6 weeks from kickoff to delivery. We offer monthly retainers for brands that need consistent content production.
Absolutely. We regularly collaborate with in-house marketing teams and complement existing agency relationships. Some clients use us as their full creative partner; others bring us in specifically for video strategy and production while their AOR handles other channels.
