Recognized as a Winner of the Great Companies Global Business Award 2025 in the Impact Video Production category, UpMedia Video transforms missions into cinematic stories that move people to act. Founded by Anthony Madani in 2013 and headquartered in Vancouver, B.C., UpMedia is a B-Corp certified creative studio that blends film craft, animation, and AI-driven video to amplify purpose-driven brands across healthcare, technology, and social impact sectors.


Company Overview

Business Name: UpMedia Video

Founder / Director: Anthony Madani

Business Entity: Incorporated

Established: 2013

Location: Vancouver, B.C., Canada

Award Category / Industry: Impact Video Production

Team Size: 1–10 employees


What Makes UpMedia Stand Out

UpMedia combines high-end production values with a mission-first lens. The studio’s work ranges from live-action filming to 2D/3D animation and AI video, all designed to clarify complex ideas and create measurable impact. Their StoryWorx® process—an intensive story workshop and scripting method—ensures every project centers the audience, dramatizes impact, and delivers clear outcomes for clients.

Key Highlights:

  • B-Corp certified studio committed to environmental and social impact.

  • Full-service capability: strategy, script, live action, 2D/3D animation, drone, and post-production.

  • StoryWorx® framework: workshops that produce one strong concept, a crisp script, and go-to-market assets.

  • Strong track record with purpose-led organizations, NGOs, and mission-driven enterprises.

  • Founder experience on high-profile TV/film productions—with work seen on global platforms—bringing cinematic discipline to brand storytelling.


Giving Back & Planet-First Practice

UpMedia’s B-Corp certification reflects its commitment to sustainability and social value. The studio actively prioritizes environmentally responsible production practices, supports social-impact organizations through pro-bono and discounted work, and runs educational sessions (DIY video training) that help nonprofits and small teams build in-house capability.


Why UpMedia Won the Great Companies Global Business Award 2025

UpMedia exemplifies Impact Video Production by pairing world-class creative craft with measurable results for mission-driven clients. Their ability to distill complex programs into emotionally resonant films, and to scale that impact through animation and AI-assisted workflows, sets them apart in a crowded market. The studio doesn’t just make polished videos — it designs narratives that change minds and mobilize support.


Founder’s Vision

“We tell stories that wake people up — not just to a brand, but to a cause. Great video does three things: it clarifies, it connects, and it compels action. That’s our north star.”— Anthony Madani, Founder & Director, UpMedia Video

The Road Ahead

UpMedia will continue expanding its AI-assisted production tools, deepen its animation capabilities, and scale StoryWorx® workshops to empower more organizations to own their narratives. The studio’s focus will remain on high-impact storytelling that advances environmental, health, and social missions—helping clients turn awareness into action.
