Video Production Review from Kris Faafoi
Thanks to the Pixelz team we carried out the impossible. A small, sharp but impactful project. Made all the better by Pat's ability to understand the essence of the project quickly and add his storytelling, logistics and technical talent and experience.
Whether it was filming our ad, producing live multi-camera events or live-casting online, Pat's network could do it, do it well, do it fast, and do it calmly with smiles on their faces.

We recently worked with Kymera Media, specifically with Allie, on creating digital assets for a marketing project with a tight turnaround. Allie was fantastic—responsive, professional, and genuinely supportive throughout the entire process. She took the initiative to thoroughly review our existing social media content and website to ensure that the assets not only met our technical specifications but also aligned seamlessly with our branding and messaging.

We were thoroughly impressed by the exceptional service provided by Philip Kotur and the team at Gotham Lab, who translated our museum audio tour into three languages. They not only delivered high-quality transcripts and recorded audio for all translations, but did so within a remarkably short time frame—while maintaining a highly competitive cost. They handled the project with professionalism and efficiency, addressing our requests promptly. Even as additional translation needs arose during the course of the project, they were flexible, responsive, and accommodating. Gotham Lab's attention to detail and commitment to meeting our needs made them an invaluable partner for our project.

I run a detailing shop and needed an instagram video done for the business, didn’t really know what to expect but Create Video made it easy. I’m not great with cameras or any of this stuff but they explained everything and were super straight forward to work with. They showed up, got the shots, and didn’t waste any time. The video came out awesome, looks clean and shows off what we do. Got a couple new customers already. These guys know what they’re doin.

Simply Thrilled is one of the best video production companies I have had the pleasure of working with. They definitely aren’t your usual video agency. They actually listened to me and my team and offered smart ideas which made the whole process feel easy. The promo video they created was spot on. It looked great and massively helped engagement for our campaign. They know how to deliver so I can safely recommend if you need quality promotional content that gets results.

Do not do business with this company. My order status has been "out for delivery" for 6 days. I have contacted them 3 times in 3 days. Each time they said to wait to end of business, the respective days. The shipping company they used has no tracking information accessible. Today, I am going to dispute the charge on my card and file a complaint with the Interstate Commerce Commission and my state's Attorney General.

This is the worst experience I have ever had with a retail provider. The item I ordered was never delivered. I have called customer service 12 times and have been promised numerous times that my money would be refunded. After a week of trying to work through this with the company with no success, I have resorted to a public explanation of the incredibly poor service I have received. I intend to dispute the charge with the credit card company and file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Do not do business with this company.

Made an order online using promo codes I found on the actual quill website and got a confirmation email. The order was cancelled without any notice or explanation. I called customer service who told me they put in a ticket for further review and that I would be contacted again. Never heard back.
Update: I heard back from customer service although not sure I would have without posting a negative review. They were able to honor most of the promo codes I had originally used, however I already made the purchase through another company.

How much does it cost to hire an audio production company?
The cost of hiring audio production companies varies depending on the type of project, the experience of the producer or sound engineer, the location of the recording studio, and the complexity of the final content.
Typical hourly rates according to multiple agency sources include:
Recording studio time: $50-$200 per hour, depending on studio equipment and location
Audio engineer or sound engineer: $50-$150 per hour
Music producer: $50-$500+ per hour, depending on experience and reputation
Professional audio editors: $90-$200 per hour for complex audio projects such as narrative podcasts or film dialogue editing.
In large media markets such as Los Angeles or New York, premium studios equipped with Pro Tools systems, advanced mixing consoles, and acoustic recording rooms may charge $100-$300+ per hour.
Some studios also offer daily rates. Mid-range professional studios often cost $500-$1,000 per day for recording sessions.
When businesses hire audio production agencies for larger projects, total budgets often fall into these ranges:
Project typeÂ
Budget
Podcast episode
$200-$1,500
Commercial audio ad

How long does the audio production process usually take?
The timeline for an audio production project varies depending on the type of content, the complexity of the sound design, and the number of collaborators involved. Â
Simple projects like podcasts or social media audio may be completed within a few days, while larger projects such as feature film soundtracks or music albums can take several months.Â
Large productions such as feature films, documentaries, or television series require more time because they involve extensive sound design, dialogue editing, Foley recording, and multi-channel mixing.Â

Industries that commonly hire top audio production companies include:
Film and television production
Advertising and marketing, with the global audio advertising market valued at more than $38 billion in 2025, and 64% of brands plan to increase their audio advertising budgets.

Video production and corporate media
Video games and interactive media
Live events and concerts
What should I look for in an audio production agency portfolio?
Key factors decision-makers should evaluate when reviewing an audio production agency portfolio include:
A diverse range of projects Strong audio production agencies typically showcase 10 to 30 portfolio projects covering a wide range of work, such as commercials, podcasts, music production, video production, and sound design.
High-quality audio samples or demo reels (30-120 seconds each) Most professional portfolios include short audio demo clips between 30 seconds and 2 minutes that highlight specific elements, like dialogue clarity, music production, and acoustic sound design.
Evidence of experience across multiple industries The best audio production companies demonstrate experience across 3-5 industries, indicating that the agency can adapt to different creative and technical requirements.
Collaboration with recognized brands, artists, or musicians Many companies highlight notable clients or collaborations, such as brands, advertising agencies, or well-known artists. Even a portfolio that includes 5-10 recognizable clients or campaigns can demonstrate credibility and industry trust.
Proof of measurable impact or performance results Some portfolios include metrics that demonstrate the success of the project. For example, videos with strong sound design can increase social media shares by 35%, and sonic branding elements help 90% of consumers remember a brand.
Recent work from the past 2-3 years Because audio technology and digital media evolve quickly, a strong portfolio should highlight recent projects completed within the last 24-36 months.Â
