Video production companies, and the producer to reach.
Oxpium builds the list of companies that shoot the kind of films you serve, reads what they do in-house and what they farm out, finds the producer, and reaches them before they leave for the shoot.

The companies that shoot what you serve.
A two-person shop making corporate videos, an animation studio with fifteen designers and a house producing national commercials don't buy the same things. Tell the agent the size, the state, the kind of work: it searches professional databases, public sources, company websites and the films they post.

Real headcount
From a director who set up a company to a twenty-person studio: headcount is measured in professional databases, so the list matches your buyers.
The kind of work
Corporate video, commercials, animation, event livestreams, training, drone work: the agent reads it on the website and in the posted films.
Stage or no stage
Whether the company has its own stage and post-production suite, or rents and outsources it all: the agent reads the services or gear page.
Clients named
The brands, public agencies and ad agencies the company has shot for, read in its portfolio: you know who it sells to before you call.
The producer, and what they just shot.
At a five-person production company, the owner is also the director: on set half the week, reading email at night. Above that, the head of production picks the stages, the gear and the post house. The agent finds the right person, reads the latest films posted, and verifies every email before adding it.

- Verifying emails
276 contact emails found and verified, 293 phone numbers.
Email and phone
The contact email and phone number published on each company's website, with the email verified before it goes into your prospect list.
The producer
The owner, often the director, or the head of production at bigger companies, with a verified email and a cell phone when there is one.
Latest films
The films posted on the website over the last few months: the client, the format, the length. So your first line is about their work.
What they farm out
What the company does itself and what it hands off: stage, color, sound mix, captions, motion graphics, all read on its website.
Automations that tell you when a company has work coming in.
A production company buys when it has films to deliver. Each automation reruns its search on schedule and moves to the top of the list whatever shows it: an editor wanted, a batch of new films posted, a livestream offer added. You write the day the need shows up, not three months later.

Editors wanted
Every morning, an automation flags the companies posting an opening for an editor, a production coordinator or a motion designer.
Films posted
Every Friday, the agent rereads the portfolio pages and flags the companies that posted new films, with the client's name next to each one.
New offices
Every month, the companies announcing a second office or a new city move to the top of the list: more shoots, more gear, more vendors.
Your own watch
Any watch you can write in one sentence, like companies adding livestreaming to their services: the agent reruns it monthly and flags changes.
A campaign that lands between two shoots.
Producers shoot during the day and edit at night. The one time they read email and pick up the phone is early in the morning, before loading the van. Your emails and calls go out then, start from a signal on the list, and stop on the first reply. September and October are the right months: year-end videos and January sales kickoffs are being planned.
Subject A stage for your shoots in city
Each variable is a column of your list, filled in by the agent.
Before call time
Emails and calls go out between 8 and 9:30 am, before the crew loads the van and heads out for the day's shoot, when the producer still answers.
Ahead of the year-end rush
Year-end videos, holiday spots, January kickoffs: companies shoot a lot from November to January. Reach them in September and October.
Calls from the browser
You call from your browser, at the same early hour. Every call is recorded, transcribed and summarized right in the list.
Stops on reply
As soon as a company replies, the sequence stops for them. You take it from there, and the next follow-up never lands mid-edit.
Frequently asked questions
Write “production companies in Colorado and Utah that make corporate videos or animation”. The agent searches public sources and professional databases, reads each website and the films it posts, and hands you the list with headcount, focus and the clients named. It takes a few minutes.
Ask for “the owner or head of production at each company, with their email and cell phone”. The agent looks for them in public sources and on the team page of the website, verifies the email, and adds the cell phone when there is one. Then set the sending window early in the morning: it's often the only time they read email before heading out.
Tell the agent once: “every morning, flag the companies on my list that post an opening for an editor or a production coordinator”. A company hiring a contract editor has more work than hands: it lands at the top of your list with a “Hiring” badge. Add the Friday watch on posted films to see who ships in batches.
A first email early in the morning that starts from a signal (a new film, an editor wanted, no stage of their own), a call two days later, then a follow-up the agent writes from the company's latest films. Emails go out from your own mailbox, calls from your browser, and the sequence stops as soon as a company replies.
For 300 companies with their website and films read, 240 verified emails and about a hundred cell phones, count around €45 of data on top of the subscription. A list broker typically charges €1,500 to €2,500 for a comparable list, delivered once and never updated.See pricing
Those with a website or a profile in professional databases are. If you only sell to companies with a team, ask for “at least 3 people”: freelancers drop out, and the agent keeps the companies that book stages, rent gear and send work out.
