What we do at CLAi is very simple. We have been making exceptionally effective, award-winning video and television programs for national and international marketing, PR, advertising and broadcast clients such as Nokia, HP, BMW, Shriners, NBC, United Way and the BBC for over twenty five years… and we do it very well, if somewhat differently in concept, execution and style to most organizations, at the highest standards of quality and creativity.

We operate from the San Francisco Bay area, London, and Central Florida, with our principle high definition production hub in the Santa Cruz/San Francisco South Bay area. From here CLAi can provide every element of a production as a full service organization, from concept to delivery, or just those parts of a project where you need a little extra creative and technology muscle, working with you to consistently create outstanding programs that achieve and exceed expectations... programs that work.
