Caruso Company expands to Canada as Caruso Media Group (CMG)
San Francisco, CA & Vancouver, B.C. – October 12, 2025
Caruso Company is expanding its operations northward with the launch of Caruso Media Group (CMG), a new affiliate office opening in Vancouver, B.C., in August 2025. Led by Executive Producer and Caruso Company founder Robert Caruso, Caruso Media Group will offer full-service video and photo production capabilities to advertising agencies, Fortune 500 brands, and U.S.-based commercial production companies looking to work in Canada. The Vancouver- based division will deliver high-end creative production services—including crews and equipment, casting and location support—while leveraging Caruso Co.’s trusted creative infrastructure and U.S. partnerships, including curation of diverse director talent and access to editorial, and finishing services via their partnership with San Francisco based edit house, 1606 Studio.
“Since 2012, Caruso Company has been recognized for its high-quality creative output and our ability to scale productions across continents,” said Caruso. “With Caruso Media Group, we’re bringing that same caliber of work to Vancouver, offering clients access to top-tier talent and world-class locations—now with the advantages of operating in Canada.” Caruso, who has previously directed TV commercial campaigns in Vancouver, sees the city as a strategic and creative hub. “I’ve always had a love for Vancouver and its filmmaking community,” he said. “We’ve seen incredible growth in the region—its reputation as the ‘Hollywood of the North’ is well-earned. With its skilled crews, vibrant talent pool, and favorable production economics, the timing just felt right to establish a permanent presence.”
Caruso Media Group will operate with a lean, elite team of Canadian and international directors, producers, cinematographers, and editors—delivering elevated commercial storytelling for both domestic and cross-border clients. The new venture will continue Caruso Co.’s commitment to an inclusive, respectful and collaborative filmmaking process, executing the work with craft, innovation, and creative collaboration across geographies.
“We’re here to build meaningful partnerships in Canada’s thriving production ecosystem,” said Caruso. “This is not just an expansion—it’s a creative investment in a film community we deeply respect and are excited to help grow.”
