Video production for brands: the platform and the team that produces, in one place

Start free using Play as the platform that orders your content. When you need to produce, commission the pieces per project or run it all with a single partner. You decide how far to go.

The platform is included at no cost with every PLAY production service.

Updated: September 2026

Who this page is for

This page is for marketing, brand and content teams inside a brand: the ones producing video regularly who can no longer keep up with coordinating suppliers project by project. Play has two pieces that work separately or together: Play Platform, the software where all content is planned, approved and stored, and PLAY /Services, the creative, production and post-production team that shoots it, with more than 1,200 professionals across more than 20 countries. You can start free with the platform alone, commission one-off production when you need it, or have it all integrated with a single partner.

What holds a brand team back today

It is not a shortage of ideas. It is that the production process is built for big one-off campaigns, and what the calendar asks for is constant content.

Every video starts from zero

Request three quotes, wait, compare different formats, negotiate, sign. That cycle repeats identically for a campaign spot and for three product verticals. Most of the team's time goes on managing the production rather than deciding what to say.

One point of contact, on a transparent rate card based on real costs.

You do not really know what a piece costs you

The department's annual budget is spent through separate invoices from different suppliers. Knowing the average cost per video, or how much you have spent by mid-year, means rebuilding it by hand in a spreadsheet.

Real cost per piece and per campaign, inside the same project where you approve the video.

The material ends up scattered and gets produced twice

The masters stay with the production company, versions travel by WeTransfer, and nobody can find the cut from eight months ago. Something that already existed gets shot again.

One library with automatic tagging, whether you produce or we do.

Producing across markets multiplies the suppliers

Every country with its own local production company, its own standards and its own way of invoicing. Keeping the same tone and quality across ten cities consumes more of the internal team than the creative work does.

Local talent in more than 20 countries under one coordination system and one Account Manager.

How video production for brands works at Play

Play is a Production-Tech company: software and a production team in the same house. You do not have to choose between buying a tool and hiring a production company. You use only what you need today and add more as the volume grows.

Way 1

Platform only

You produce with your in-house team, your agency or your usual suppliers, and use Play to keep it all in order.

  • Briefs, tasks and a production calendar
  • Media library with AI tagging
  • Videofeedback and approvals by version
  • Unlimited external collaborators

Free on the LITE plan

See Play Platform
Way 2

Production only, as and when you need it

Nothing about how you work changes. You commission the pieces you cannot cover, when you need them.

  • End-to-end production with an Account Manager
  • Creative, shooting and post-production
  • Local talent in whichever market it takes
  • A fixed quote per project

Per project, on a transparent rate card

See PLAY /Services
Way 3

Everything together, one partner

The platform is your content system and our team produces inside it. One point of contact from start to finish.

  • Everything in way 1 and way 2
  • Platform included at no cost with the services
  • Cost and status traceable in the same place
  • A flat production discount on the Enterprise plan

Platform included, production per project

Talk to the team

The three ways are doors into the same place, and you can move between them without migrating anything. Most teams start at way 1 or way 2 and end up at way 3 once the content volume grows.

What a brand produces with Play

What you get from each part

Play has more modules and more services than you need. This is what a brand team actually uses.

Media library

All the material in one place, with automatic AI tagging and public links for sharing without an account. No more hunting for the master in your inbox.

Videofeedback and approvals

Comments on the piece itself, with versions in order. Brand, product, legal and each market all comment in the same thread.

Unlimited external collaborators

Your agency, your freelancers and your production companies join the workspace without taking a licence, on every plan including the free one.

Budgets and cost control

Budget, expenses and purchase orders per project, so that by mid-year you know how much of the department's annual budget you have spent.

Calendar and delivery queues

What is being shot, what is in edit and what publishes this week, in a view shared with the external teams.

KAMI AI

It structures the brief, organises the project, orders the material and proposes next steps. Less time spent assembling documents.

Production consultancy

We look at objectives and budget to recommend which content is worth making. We do not produce videos for the sake of it.

Creative and creative direction

Brand narrative, scripts, key visuals and storyboards, aligned with your strategy and with the channel the piece is going to.

Global production with local talent

Crews, locations, permits, logistics and budget managed as an extension of your team, in more than 20 countries.

Full post-production

Edit, colour, sound, motion graphics and visual effects, plus hybrid AI production to scale variants of the same piece.

A single Account Manager

One point of contact for the whole project: they coordinate crews, review quality and keep brand consistency across every delivery.

PLAY Talent

More than 1,200 vetted professionals: filmmakers, creatives, producers, editors, directors and AI artists. It is not a marketplace — every profile goes through a selection process.

Brief to publication in four steps

The flow is the same whether you produce or we do. The only thing that changes is who carries out step 3.

  1. You say what you need

    You open the project and describe the need. KAMI AI helps turn it into a structured brief, with formats, markets and dates, so that everyone is working from the same thing.

  2. You settle scope, cost and who does it

    This is where you pick a way: your team produces it, your agency does, or PLAY /Services does with local talent. If you commission it from us, you get a fixed quote on a transparent rate card before anything starts.

  3. It gets produced and approved inside the platform

    Shoot, edit and versions in the same project. Approvals happen through videofeedback and public links, with no email chains. If PLAY produces, your Account Manager oversees every stage.

  4. It is delivered, and it stays

    The finished piece and the raw footage stay in your library, tagged and ready to reuse on the next campaign.

If you produce with us, the platform costs you nothing

Access to Play Platform is included at no cost with every PLAY video production service. In other words: you can come in through the platform door and pay only for the software, or come in through the production door and take the software with it.

Annual billing works out at 10 months. Extra storage at 29 €/TB per month. For most brand teams that only want the platform, PRO is the right plan: cost control and analytics are exactly what LITE leaves out, and exactly what you need to defend the budget. See the full plan comparison.

Frequently asked questions about video production for brands

Can I use Play only as a platform, without hiring production?

Yes. The LITE plan is free and gives you briefs, tasks, calendar, media library, videofeedback and unlimited external collaborators. You can use it with your in-house team, your agency or your usual suppliers, without commissioning a single piece from us.

Can I hire one-off production without using the platform?

Yes. PLAY /Services works per project: you tell us the need, you get a fixed quote and we produce. Platform access is included at no cost, so you will have it available even if you do not use it today.

What does producing video content with Play cost?

They are two separate costs. The platform: LITE free, PRO 149 € per workspace per month with 5 users included, custom Enterprise. Production: quoted per project on a transparent rate card based on real costs, so you know the figure before starting.

Does Play replace my agency or my production company?

Only if you want it to. Many brands use Play as their platform and carry on working with their agency, which joins the workspace as an external collaborator at no licence cost. Others hand the whole production to us. And others mix the two depending on the project.

Can I invite my agency and my freelancers without paying per user?

Yes. External collaborators are unlimited on LITE, PRO and Enterprise. Only your team's internal users count: 3 on LITE, 5 on PRO and custom on Enterprise.

Can you produce in other countries?

Yes. PLAY /Services activates local crews in more than 20 countries from a network of more than 1,200 vetted professionals, keeping editorial control and brand consistency. With EIT Urban Mobility we have produced more than 25 projects across more than 20 European cities under one coordination system.

Who coordinates the project if I commission the production from you?

An Account Manager, who is your single point of contact throughout. They coordinate crews, review the quality of each piece, keep brand consistency and optimise resources, working inside the same platform where you see the status and the cost.
