Squad 47 may be one of the industry's best kept secrets. For the last 10 years, the company has been part of countless national campaigns from production through post production.
The company was founded by Steven Greenstein in 2014 and is now a minority owned business with the addition of partners Andy Hsu, Glen Yonkers Jr., Cassandra Bowen and Steve Yeung. Before starting Squad 47, Steve owned and sold a company called Image Factory, making him a business owner for the last 24 years.
Since their inception, Squad 47 has worked with brands such as Dunkin’, Verizon, Bud Light, NBA, AT&T, Reebok, Chewy, Albertsons, Zaxby’s and AARP to name a few. The team offers services such as production: live action and table top, animation, editorial, and an easily accessible studio boasting a stage that features a 24 x 40 cyc wall, silent air conditioning, lighting grid and full grip package. This studio also houses a BOLT motion control robot for an innovative and cost-effective experience for productions of all kinds.
“Our company is designed for all phases of production and post. We love 360 projects but can be whatever piece our clients need us to be for a particular job. Our agency partners have come to value our flexibility and expertise.” reflects Glen Yonkers Jr., company president and partner.
“We are a bit of a Swiss Army knife and we relish that role. Today’s campaigns need premium work done creatively, quickly and cost effectively. We often shoot print elements at the same time as film, or work in 3D while editing, doing roto/paint and online. Because we have staff capable of all of these skill sets, we can deliver a complete creative workflow under one roof.” adds founder, partner and director, Steve Greenstein.
Squad 47 is located just outside of Washington, DC in Bethesda, Maryland, but you can find Steve visiting NYC frequently to catch up with his clients, friends and old stomping grounds. Most of Squad 47’s clients are NY and Los Angeles based and they work with partners throughout the country.
