ABOUT US
MACHIAVEL
MARKETING AGENCY FOR BLACK SHEEP.
Machiavel Studios is the video marketing agency for black sheep. Born from the union of our marketing expertise and our experience in video production, we work with entrepreneurs to achieve their ambitions.
Our turnkey service, from creation to broadcasting, filming and editing, has allowed us to bring companies and organizations such as Startup Montreal, Front Row Ventures, Métro Média, Meta4 Interactive and many others out of the woodwork.
Our unique video production process combines our 15 years of creative experience in video production and innovative campaign marketing strategies.
Our story
From video to marketing.
With over 10 years of marketing and video production experience, Louis founded Machiavel Videography in Montreal in 2018 to serve small and medium-sized businesses across Quebec.
Passionate about all things video from the age of 12, he never let go of the kodak. Inspired by Youtube pioneers FreddieW and Smosh, he started out producing humorous videos and slowly moved into the purely artistic side of video, making videos for Zach Zoya and James Gray.
At the same time, a conference on entrepreneurship by Nicolas Duvernois in the spring of 2016 will reveal the magic of entrepreneurship to him. All the ingredients for the perfect cocktail were ready. However, it was not until October 2018 that the video production company was officially born.
Since then, the reputation of Machiavel Studios has been built on nearly one hundred projects with over forty clients, most of whom benefit from our services on a regular basis.
THE ORIGIN
The ultimate black sheep.
Firstly, because he is the ultimate Black Sheep. Nicholas Machiavelli, through his stories and writings, has surely disturbed the social and political sphere like no other before, yet with the sole purpose of advising his fellow men. Today, he is the symbol of an assumed dissidence that we proudly endorse. Where some will see the disruptive, we see the disturbing. Or rather, the black sheep.
True to our mission, we want to highlight the black sheep and celebrate their difference. There's nothing wrong with standing out from the herd, quite the contrary! We celebrate those entrepreneurs who make the choice to courageously be themselves.
Add to this fundamental element our penchant for politics and its relevance to strategy, our admiration for the renaissance and the Italy that was its cradle, and the choice of Machiavelli was obvious!
Certifications
Ready for anything.
To ensure that your production runs smoothly, we have all the necessary certifications and authorisations for projects of all sizes.
In particular, we are a UDA (Union des Artistes) producer and thus have access to the best talent pool and actors in Quebec.
Each member of the creative team behind your projects also has at least a bachelor's degree.
