“They were on time, on budget, and on brief—I honestly could not have asked for a better agency than Brandefy.”
Full-service video production from Los Angeles, for brands across the U.S. and worldwide.
Brandefy is a full-service video production company and video marketing agency based in the Los Angeles area. We plan, film, animate, and edit videos built to convert, for businesses of every size, from startups to Fortune 500 companies.
Since 2011 we have completed more than 3,000 projects for over 500 clients, including FOX, Yahoo!, Verizon, Unilever, UCLA, Kaiser Permanente, and the City of Los Angeles.
Brandefy produces twelve types of video, in live action and animation. Each one links to a page with examples and details.
Every project follows the same three phases and stays with one team from the first call to the final file.
Most projects run 4 to 8 weeks from kickoff to final delivery. The process page explains each phase in full.
Brandefy was founded in Santa Monica in 2011 by Marton Varo. For more than a decade the team has produced commercials and branded content, and the range has grown to twelve kinds of video, from testimonials and training films to 3D animation.
Being based in Los Angeles gives us access to experienced directors, cinematographers, editors, and animators. Over the years we have also built a network of filmmakers in other cities and countries, which is how we staff shoots well beyond Southern California.
Our clients range from small businesses to large corporations. Some come for a single video and others for campaigns that run all year. Either way, we start by asking what the video needs to achieve and work backward from there.
Founder, CEO & Executive Producer of Brandefy
Marton Varo is the founder, CEO, and executive producer of Brandefy, the video production company he launched in Santa Monica in 2011. In the fifteen years since, he has personally guided hundreds of commercial and branded-content projects from first concept through final delivery, working with organizations ranging from UCLA, Kaiser Permanente, Oxford University, Fox, Yahoo!, and Verizon Media to growth-stage companies such as Funding Circle, FastPay, and Takeya.
Marton’s path into producing began at Chapman University’s film program, where he graduated with honors with a degree in Film & TV Production. He built an award-winning reputation early in his career, earning recognition from film festivals and industry institutions while working alongside veteran screenwriters Leonard Schrader (Kiss of the Spider Woman) and Dan O’Bannon (Alien, Total Recall), collaborations that shaped his approach to visual storytelling long before he turned that craft toward marketing. His narrative-film producing credits include Confession (2005), starring Chris Pine, and Styria (2014), starring Eleanor Tomlinson.
Marton founded Brandefy on the idea that brands deserved the same cinematic craft usually reserved for film and television, rather than the flat, formulaic output typical of corporate video. That philosophy still drives the company: Marton oversees Brandefy’s full range of production, including TV commercials, DRTV spots, brand storytelling, product promos, customer testimonials, and animated and 3D content, for clients across technology, healthcare, wellness, gaming, non-profits, and consumer goods.
Clients consistently point to his hands-on involvement as a differentiator. He stays engaged at every stage of a project — strategy and scripting, casting and location scouting, on-set direction, and post-production — rather than handing projects off after the pitch. That full-cycle approach, paired with a senior crew of award-winning filmmakers, is core to how Brandefy operates: on brief, on budget, and on schedule for both first-time startup founders and enterprise marketing teams.
Marton leads Brandefy’s production capabilities out of its Los Angeles-area home base and Austin, TX office, and from there runs shoots across the country and internationally, drawing on a network of vetted filmmakers, crews, and studio partners to produce on location wherever a client’s brand needs to be. He continues to lead the company’s creative direction and new business development, and remains active in the broader film and producing community as a working director and producer.
Brandefy produces videos that convert for businesses. Every project is planned around one measurable result, such as leads, sales, sign-ups, or donations, and judged against it.
A video converts when it speaks to one audience, makes one point, and asks for one next step. We match the format to the objective, whether that is awareness, trust, education, or conversion, then shape the script, length, and call to action around where it will run.
Return comes from results and from reuse. Each video is tied to a number the business already tracks, such as click-through rate, cost per conversion, or sales. And one shoot can feed multiple ads, social cutdowns, and website assets, which lowers the cost of each.
We agree on the metrics before production starts: views, engagement, click-through rate, conversions, or retention. Depending on the campaign, we track performance through analytics and work with the client’s digital team to report results and optimize.
Short-form ads, testimonials, founder stories, and product explainers tend to perform best in performance marketing. Brandefy produces all of them, with repurposing planned from the start.
“They exceeded expectations. The videos helped us build a presence in 55 countries and drove strong growth across social, email, and web.”
“Working with Brandefy was a game-changer. Their long-form videos drove a 54% higher CTR and 47% higher completion rate than our in-house videos, with YouTube conversions 44% cheaper.”
