Cinematic source files turned into finished ads: edit, pacing, supers, end cards, compliance tags, and export/versioning across durations, sizes, and paid-social placements including Meta, Instagram, Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok.
Four 15-second edits built from the same cinematic source. Each cut uses a different storytelling angle, showing how Dept5 can turn premium footage into distinct paid-media ads without making everything feel like the same trailer in a smaller box.
"David and the Department 5 team have helped us with several assets for top priority media campaigns. They are friendly, efficient and highly experienced — which is why we return to them time and time again. They are accessible for quick revisions and always deliver on time."Teresa Naff · Senior Manager, Global Marketing — Overwatch 2 · Activision Blizzard
"David is exactly what any prospective client would want in an agency partner — creative, attentive, and organized. Curveball after curveball would be thrown at David & his team and they handled every wrinkle quickly and effectively. He always makes whatever you throw at him look amazing, and does it on (or ahead of) schedule and budget. David's the best!"Chris Steiner · Project Manager, Creative Services · Activision Blizzard

"Department 5 has been an exceptional partner for our marketing team. They are highly responsive and accessible to us, consistently deliver top-quality work, and are dedicated to meeting project deadlines. We highly recommend their services."Chris Roncone · Senior Marketing Manager · Square Enix America
"I worked with David and his company Dept5 regularly during my time at Square Enix. They are always professional, the output quality was always high, and they were rarely opposed to taking on trailer loc and versioning projects with a short timeline. I especially enjoyed working with David in developing HTML5 assets — that is where Dept5's creative skillset really shined."Tracy Wong · Brand Director · SEGA of America (formerly Square Enix)
