Shootsta helps enterprise teams create more high-quality video and animation, faster, without sacrificing creativity, brand consistency, or control.
For more than a decade, we've helped global organizations transform video from a slow, expensive, project-by-project exercise into a scalable content capability. Our model combines expert creative talent, production services, animation, AI-assisted technology, and enterprise-ready workflows to support everything from always-on content to high-profile, bespoke productions.
Shootsta Pro gives enterprise teams an embedded video production partner for high-volume, always-on content, with professional post-production delivered in as little as 48 hours. Teams can capture content themselves while Shootsta takes care of editing, animation, motion graphics, audio, brand application, and production expertise, helping organizations dramatically increase output without continuously increasing internal resources.
Shootsta Premier provides end-to-end creative and production capability for the content that needs a bigger idea or higher production value. From executive storytelling and brand campaigns to customer stories, event content and complex productions, Shootsta manages the process from creative concept and pre-production through filming, post-production, animation and final delivery.
Across both models, brand governance is built into the production workflow. Brand guidelines, templates, visual identity, motion graphics and approval processes can be embedded into how content is created, helping distributed teams move faster while maintaining the consistency and control enterprise brands require.
And with dedicated animation capability and AI-assisted production tools, Shootsta helps organizations create and repurpose content across formats, channels, audiences and markets more efficiently.
The result is one partner for the full spectrum of enterprise video: fast, scalable everyday content when you need volume and speed, and end-to-end creative production when the moment demands something exceptional.

In an age of AI-generated content, rampant misinformation, and shifting search behaviors, brands and publishers face an intensified battle for visibility. While brands are investing more than ever in editorial content to build trust and authority, they are often limited to owned channels or stuck with outdated advertorial models. These traditional approaches fall short, especially as search platforms prioritize credibility, authority, and trustworthiness.
Stacker is the first content distribution platform built for earned reach. We bridge the gap between brands and publishers by combining rigorous journalism with modern distribution technology. Our platform transforms brand-funded and original editorial content into earned media that is syndicated natively across a wide network of trusted news publishers.
Here’s how it works: Brands submit stories to our platform, where our editorial team reviews and optimizes each piece. We use performance insights, cultural trends, and news pegs to guide distribution through dynamic newsfeeds to a vetted network of publishers. Publishers access content for free, while brands pay a distribution fee.
As the ways people discover information evolve, the most effective strategy for brands to build lasting authority is through consistent visibility in trusted editorial environments. Stacker delivers exactly that.
We believe great journalism rises to the top. When brands fund it and publishers share it, everyone wins. Our mission is to build a better model for content - one that breaks down media silos and creates real connections through stories that inform, engage, and earn their place alongside trusted news.
