About

Working with Brands

Hanson Productions provides a robust variety of solutions to partners, from online portals and content companies to on-air networks and theatrical film producers, both in live action and 3D animation. Creating brand integrations for clients inside web series, television and films have become a recent focus, as brands are shifting their focus away from traditional engagements and embracing multi-platform entertainment strategies. At every stage of a brand’s move into the entertainment space, we are there guiding them as they realize they too are media companies.

Working with Content Creators

At Hanson, we provide comprehensive development, pre-production, production and post-production support for clients who create for TV, web and film.  We have a stable of skilled professionals who can take projects from the loosest of forms and bring them through to completion. Our writers have written for Adam Sandler, Quentin Tarantino, Barry Levinson, Michael Mann and most all the Hollywood studios as well as for industrial heavyweights such as the Cleveland Clinic, Live Nation, Masco and others. Our producers have delivered finished projects for HGTV, Fine Living, DIY, Disney Interactive, USA Network, PBS, SONY, Warner Bros., Walt Disney Studios and many other outlets. Though we are based in the middle of the country, we have offices and a strong presence in both Los Angeles and New York City.
