01Corporate communications and PR
Get the most media reach out of every news item and event.
We turn your annual events calendar into predictable content. One partner is responsible for all hybrid broadcasts, recaps and videos. No need to find new contractors for every project.
02Marketing and brand management
Keep the target audience's attention over time, despite the noise.
We launch full brand media formats and corporate shows. Scattered one-off videos give way to series content with a recognisable style and a strict schedule.

Record important addresses and presentations when leaders have very little time.
A process designed for maximum efficiency. In one well-produced day of filming we record a whole series of pieces. The scope is agreed in advance.

Overcome video-call fatigue and engage a distributed team.
We bring internal communications up to the level of national television. Town halls and quarterly updates are run as a TV show that holds employees' attention.

Describe it and we will suggest a production approach
We already have a video agency. Why SA Studios?
An agency produces videos to a brief. SA Studios is responsible for series formats, live broadcasts and events on one shared calendar.
Will we have enough topics for a regular series?
That depends on the topic and scope, which are defined in Format Lab before any series budget is committed. Format Lab
Our CEO is not comfortable on camera. What can we do?
Swiss Academy handles the preparation: the structure of the message and the delivery are worked out before the day of filming. The shoot is run as a conversation, not a speech.
The studio is in Schenkon. How convenient is that?
A whole series of pieces is recorded in one day of filming, so you do not need to travel often. Getting here
