What We Do

A Creative Production Partner Built for Brand Teams

Castle City Creative helps CPG and consumer brand teams develop, produce, adapt and deliver complete campaigns across TV, online video, social, ecommerce and display.

From concepts, scripts and storyboards to live-action production, CGI, post-production, static and HTML5 banners, bilingual adaptation and final asset delivery, we bring the entire process together under one experienced team.

Whether we're starting with a new creative brief or working from assets already approved in your digital asset library, Castle City can manage the complete journey from initial idea to final campaign delivery.

As an approved creative vendor supporting brand managers across multiple global brands, we understand the real-world requirements behind CPG work: brand consistency, claims, multiple stakeholders, tight timelines, talent rights, bilingual adaptation, platform specifications and a long list of final deliverables.

Our job is to make that process easier.

Our Work

Work Built for How CPG Campaigns Actually Run

A campaign rarely ends with one video. Brand teams need different durations, formats, languages, platforms and retail executions, all while keeping the central creative consistent.

Our work is designed with that complete system in mind.

How We Work

From Brief to Final Delivery

Our process is designed to give brand managers one experienced partner across every stage of the campaign.

STEP 4
Brief & Strategy
We begin by understanding the brand, audience, campaign objective, channels, approved claims and required deliverables. From there, we establish the creative and production approach.
Creative Development
We develop concepts, scripts, ad copy, storyboards and animatics that bring the campaign idea to life while accounting for every planned format and execution.
Pre-Production
We coordinate casting, locations, crew, products, props, schedules, talent rights, voice-over and all the details required for an efficient production.

STEP 8
Post-Production & CGI
We handle editing, colour, audio, music, motion graphics, typography, CGI, product visualization, supers and finishing through final approval.
Adaptation & Versioning
We turn the approved master creative into the durations, aspect ratios, languages, banners, statics and platform-specific versions required by the campaign.
Platform Optimization
Every asset is optimized for where it will appear, not simply resized. We follow the latest creative best practices and interface safe zones for TikTok, Meta, YouTube and Amazon, adjusting supers, framing, pacing and calls to action so key content remains clear and unobstructed by on-screen controls.
Final Delivery
Every final asset is quality-controlled, clearly organized and prepared according to the required technical specifications, naming conventions, metadata and digital asset-management workflow.
