Video production Auckland buyers can choose from studios that shoot national TV campaigns, teams that turn around social reels the same day, and specialists in animation and visual effects. Auckland is where most of New Zealand’s corporate head offices, agencies and broadcasters sit, so demand covers brand films, recruitment and training videos, event coverage, product explainers and a steady flow of short-form content for Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn.
This list covers ten video production companies in Auckland, each with an Auckland address or base stated on its own website. We read each company’s own site (home, about, services and contact pages) and only included facts it publishes itself: services, address, founding year, named clients and prices.

Pure Productions (PURE) describes itself as a strategic brand content studio based in Auckland. It says it has made more than 12,000 videos since 2002, and it frames every project around a business outcome: videos that win clients, change how people see a brand or grow the business. For shoots outside New Zealand it works with a network of crews in Australia, the USA and the UK.
Its client and testimonial list is one of the longest in the city, covering Spark New Zealand, Frucor Suntory, EasiYo, Beef + Lamb New Zealand, MYOB, Local Government New Zealand, AB Equipment, Sidekicker, UneeQ and Loan Market, as well as the NBA 2K League.
PURE suits marketing teams at established companies that want a long-term video partner rather than a one-off shoot.
ODV (One Day Video) has its headquarters in Auckland and a crew in Sydney, working across New Zealand and Australia. It produces brand, corporate, product and explainer videos, plus internal communications and recruitment films. Projects follow a full production process: concepting, scripting, storyboarding, casting and art direction in pre-production; filming, lighting and sound on set; then editing, sound design, color grading and motion design.
ODV is one of the few Auckland studios that publishes a starting price. Its packages run across animation, classic, campaign and premium tiers. The site reports more than 340 videos produced for more than 280 clients, with logos including Air New Zealand, ASB, Beca, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, Foodstuffs, Sealord, Vector, Coastguard and Auckland Council. Case studies cover Housies, Drug Free Sport, beforeUdig, Wonky Box and Archies Footwear.
Create x Wonder works from 72 Taharoto Road, Takapuna, has a presence in Whangarei and Tauranga, and travels for shoots across New Zealand, Australia and the USA. It has produced video since 2016. Its range covers brand, corporate, product, case study, testimonial, recruitment, explainer, how-to and social media videos, with dedicated automotive, agricultural and tourism production, plus photography and event coverage.
For simpler interviews, updates and internal comms it offers CreateLite, a lower-cost format. Deliverables come in 4K or HD with social aspect ratios. The company does not publish a fixed price list; quotes are itemized after a consultation.
Named clients include Air New Zealand, Nissan, Toyota, Fonterra, Fletcher Living, Bunnings, Watercare, Halter, Laminex New Zealand, The North Face, Torpedo7 and Lewis Road Creamery.
KOR Creative is at Level 2, 3 Anzac Street (Takapuna House), Takapuna. It makes corporate and promotional videos, explainers, marketing and lead generation videos, training and internal communications, learning content, case studies and testimonials. Its event service covers multi-camera filming, live streaming to social media and highlight videos.
A distinguishing feature is KOR Studio, a fully equipped studio with selectable backgrounds, autocue, lighting and audio that clients can hire. That makes it a practical choice for businesses that need regular talking-head content, online courses or executive updates without booking a location each time.
KOR’s client logos include SkyCity, Countdown, BNZ, Bunnings Warehouse, Partners Life, Canon, Wilson Parking, SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s and North Harbour Club.
Onepost Media is a small Auckland team based at Level 14, 5 Byron Avenue, Takapuna, and has made video in New Zealand since 2012. Its production work covers corporate video, brand films, explainers and social cut-downs, plus 2D animated explainers and motion graphics, video editing and live streaming.
What sets it apart is that it also runs digital marketing: Google and Meta ads, local SEO, lead generation and CRM automation. A client can have a video produced and then distributed through paid campaigns by the same team.
Its named clients span government and corporate: Spark, Toyota, NZ Red Cross, DoorDash, MBIE, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, NZ Transport Agency, NZX, Sharesies, PGG Wrightson and Master Electricians.
Digital Alchemist Media Productions is located on Auckland’s North Shore and was established in 2013 by Ardi Alemi and Charlotte Wanhill, who between them cite more than 30 years of experience. Alemi leads corporate video production and Wanhill heads TV productions.
The studio produces both live action and animated video, including animated infographics, explainer videos, YouTube ads and corporate presentations, alongside a separate media productions arm. Client logos on the site include Massey University, Kindo and the Aotearoa Science Agency.
It is a good fit for organizations that need to explain a product, process or research finding clearly, where animation does more work than a camera.
Redmint Media is based in Parnell and serves clients across the Auckland region. It starts with a video strategy built around a goal (brand awareness, sales, or recruitment and training), then handles production end to end. Its formats include social media, brand, testimonial, FAQ, training and ad videos, and it also takes on course creation, TV commercials and longer documentaries.
Its main product for ongoing content is a monthly plan of 10 to 30 videos that it says takes about half a day of the client’s time each month. Redmint offers a money-back guarantee on its videos and says strategies typically take at least four weeks, with faster turnaround possible.
Hot Butter Productions is at 17a Himikera Avenue, Avondale, and is led by managing director Dave Munn. It builds its video work around real client stories, then connects that content to the rest of a lead generation funnel: it also builds websites and landing pages and runs campaigns on Google, Meta and TikTok.
Its client list mixes national brands and franchises with local Auckland businesses: Mercury Energy, Vodafone, Mars, Sky New Zealand, RE/MAX New Zealand, Auckland Airport, Auckland Transport, the University of Auckland, Jim’s Cleaning Group and Dive HQ Auckland.
Hot Butter suits franchise networks and service businesses that want testimonial video turned directly into enquiries.
Ice Digital Media works from 26 Carrygawley Road, Ormiston, in East Auckland, and focuses on short-form video for social media and websites. Its entry package is a bundle of three social reels, and its Rapid Reels service delivers a reel the same day. It also manages ads and offers unlimited revisions with no revision fees.
Named case studies include Caltex Greenlane, Ziggle, a user-generated content prototype for Kmart Manukau, and Flex Fitness Botany, and its logo list adds Ray White Manukau, Moana Pasifika, Anytime Fitness, Harcourts and Auckland Rugby. The company is a member of the Auckland Business Chamber.
LOT23 Media is a specialist studio with addresses at 23 Minnie Street and 466 New North Road, Kingsland. Rather than general corporate video, it focuses on four services: greenscreen production, VFX supervision, 3D environments and animation, and compositing, editing and color grading.
The studio lists hours of 7am to 7pm, seven days a week. It suits agencies and production companies that need a greenscreen stage and VFX finishing, and brands whose concept needs virtual sets or 3D environments that a standard location shoot cannot deliver.
Most Auckland video companies quote per project after a briefing, but two on this list publish prices on their own sites:
Those two figures mark the ends of the range: short-form social content at a few hundred dollars per video, and fully scripted, crewed productions in the tens of thousands. Price is driven by the number of shoot days, crew size, locations, talent, animation and the number of edits and cut-downs. Ask for an itemized quote so you can see which elements can be scaled back.
The best video partner depends on what the video has to achieve and where it will be shown. These questions help narrow the list.
A brand film for a website homepage, a recruitment video, a training series and a month of social reels need different skills. Studios such as Pure Productions, ODV and Create x Wonder are set up for scripted brand and corporate films, while Redmint Media and Ice Digital Media focus on regular social content.
If your product is software, a process or something hard to film, animation may communicate better. Digital Alchemist Media Productions, Onepost Media and ODV offer animated explainers; LOT23 Media handles greenscreen, VFX and 3D.
One polished video rarely feeds a social channel for long. Ask whether the company offers monthly plans (Redmint Media) or can cut a main shoot into several shorter social versions, and how much extra each cut-down costs.
Confirm in writing whether you receive the final files only or the raw footage too, how long the company archives it, and whether music and stock licenses cover paid advertising as well as organic posting.
A video only works if people see it. Onepost Media and Hot Butter Productions also run paid campaigns, which can be useful if you do not have a marketing team to promote the finished content.
Published prices range from NZ$550 plus GST for three social reels (Ice Digital Media) to a starting package of NZ$15,000 for a produced brand video (ODV). Most companies quote individually based on shoot days, crew, locations and post-production.
Simple social content can be turned around in days, and Ice Digital Media offers same-day reels. A scripted brand or corporate video usually takes several weeks from briefing through scripting, filming and edits. Redmint Media says its video strategies typically take at least four weeks.
Yes. Create x Wonder travels across New Zealand, Australia and the USA, ODV has a crew in Sydney, and Pure Productions works with crews in New Zealand, Australia, the USA and the UK. Travel costs are usually added to the quote.
Some digital marketing agencies offer video, but a dedicated video production company usually brings more experience in lighting, sound and storytelling. If you want video and paid distribution together, see our list of digital marketing agencies in Auckland.
