Background

About Michael Sapienza

I build production companies that don’t just make content—they move business. As a hands-on production executive and creative ops leader, I’ve built internal studios and scalable content systems for agencies, brands, and startups. I lead from the center—working directly with creatives, directors, and clients to build the right team and process for the job, whether it’s a massive TV campaign or a nimble two-person shoot. I believe the future of production is hybrid: AI-powered where it makes sense, real-world and cinematic when it matters most. You need both to win. That’s why I’ve made a career out of building systems that adapt, teams that scale, and content that cuts through. Some career highlights- Built and led high-performing studios for top-tier agencies and brands - Drove virtual production and cutting-edge workflows before it was trendy - Produced breakthrough campaigns for Adore Me, LongHorn Steakhouse, Lowe’s, SoulCycle, L.L. Bean, and more - Trusted to lead full-cycle production from creative inception to final delivery If you’re a CMO, founder, or agency leader looking for a production partner who can wrangle chaos, scale teams, and deliver work that actually works—let’s talk. Every day I produce the types of content you watch, and clients want. I am an expert in advertising production from commercial video production, to brand content, social content, photography, and production strategy. If a client can think of it I can produce it.
