Productions Branded - for films, series + studios
Brand partners for your production.
Productions Branded is Hollywood Branded's production division. We source brand partners that save your budget, add revenue where the story allows and bring marketing muscle to your release.
What brands bring
Three kinds of value. One partner list.
Stretch the budget
Product loaned or traded for on-screen use, plus gear for cast, crew, premieres and wrap parties.
Add revenue
Paid integrations when a brand's role genuinely serves the story. We negotiate the fee and the terms.
Grow the audience
Promotional and licensing partners who put your title in front of their customers at release.
Props + sets
Hero products, set dressing and signage.
Wardrobe
Fashion, footwear and accessories.
Transportation
Vehicles for picture and production.
Locations
Hotels, restaurants and branded spaces.
How it works
Get the property ready. Then take it to market.
Calling brands before a production has a commercial story, a rights picture and a clear offer wastes the opportunity. Every production moves through the same steps, and you decide how far to go.
Enroll
Your production enters [HB]Box so our team can surface it when a brand client fits.
Blueprint
Category fit, brandability, integration inventory and an opportunity map.
Roadmap
What to sell, to whom and in what order, plus the rights and approval path. This is where we decide on representation.
Playbook + representation
We build the sales materials and deal structure, then source, pitch, negotiate and manage the partners.
Why Roadmap comes first
Don't call a brand with a story and no offer.
The brand sets your price
If you can't explain what a sponsor is buying, the brand will price the opportunity for you.
Deals die late
A promising deal can fall apart after weeks of selling if talent, usage, territory or category rights were never mapped.
The market discounts you
Two people pitching the same property with different numbers teaches brands to discount both.
From development to the long tail
Partnerships that move with the title.
Story + categories
Find integration and sponsor opportunities before creative gets expensive to change.
Inventory + execution
Props, wardrobe, vehicles, travel, tech, paid integrations, content capture and approvals.
Amplify + renew
Creators, PR, events, licensing, retail, future seasons and future titles.
The ad-sales team you never had
Networks and streamers have brand-partnership teams. Independent films and series usually don't. Productions Branded packages your project, builds custom concepts for each brand and manages the conversations.
One brand record across every department
[HB]Box for Studios keeps the conversations, rights, approvals, assets and commercial history attached to the title, from the writers' room through distribution and syndication.
Production questions
Who pays Hollywood Branded, the brand or the production?
Both sides hire us for different jobs. Brands hire Hollywood Branded to find entertainment opportunities. Productions hire Productions Branded, our production division, to source and build brand partnerships for their title.
Will brands pay to be in our production?
Some will. Most partnerships start with trade: product, vehicles, wardrobe or services for the set. Paid integration happens when a brand's role genuinely serves the story, and it shouldn't be the only goal.
When should we bring you in?
As early as development. The earlier we read the script, the more categories, scenes and partners are still open.
Do you need our script?
A script, deck or synopsis helps us find the right fit. Share a secure link, and only send material you have permission to share.
Does enrolling guarantee brand partners?
No. Free enrollment makes your production discoverable to our team. Blueprint sharpens the match, and active representation is where we start selling.
What isn't included in a representation program?
Talent and third-party production costs, paid media, fabrication and signage, travel and logistics, licensing royalties, outside legal and venue costs. Those are scoped only when they're part of an approved activation.
How do we see pricing?
Enroll your production free. Production pricing opens as soon as your enrollment goes through.
