The Challenge
In the global media and entertainment industry that spans 100 countries and 360,000+ companies, how do you really know who you can trust?
Finding a vendor is easy; finding a reliable vendor is the multi-million dollar challenge. Relying on word-of-mouth or a simple directory listing is a high-risk gamble when productions, budgets, and deadlines are on the line.
This is precisely why we built the Vitrina Company Reputation Score. It’s a comprehensive, data-driven metric designed to help our members qualify partners and de-risk critical business decisions.
The Solution: The Vitrina Company Reputation Score
The Reputation Rating is a proprietary score that evaluates a company’s qualifications, capabilities, and standing within the global M&E supply chain.
Instead of relying on subjective opinions, our rating is calculated using the real-time, objective data that Vitrina tracks every single day. This numerical score is converted into a clear, four-tier letter grade system, from lowest to highest:
A → AA → AAA → AAA+
When you see these ratings on company profiles, they provide a quick reference for:
- Company credibility and market standing
- Track record in the industry
- Relative positioning compared to peers
- Risk assessment for potential partnerships or deals
This system helps you quickly identify established, reputable companies (AAA or AAA+) versus newer or less proven entities (A or AA) when making critical business decisions.
The Anatomy of a Vitrina Reputation Score
Our rating system provides a nuanced, 360-degree view of a company by incorporating multiple critical factors:
| Score Factor | Description |
| Corporate Foundation (Size & Parentage) | Establishes scale, resources, and operational capacity (e.g., small boutique vs. global conglomerate). |
| Proven Track Record (Past Work) | The core of the rating; maps a company’s entire project history using our Global Film+TV Projects Tracker. |
| Quality of Clients & Partners | Evaluates a company by its verified history of collaborations with industry leaders (a “chain of verified collaborations”). |
| Relevance & Recency | Priorities recent activity and major projects, ensuring you are evaluating a company’s current capabilities. |
| Verifiable Specializations | Ensures the rating is contextual; identifies true, proven strengths (e.g., AAA+ in 2D Animation but not live-action VFX). |
Most Popular Use-Cases
The Reputation Rating is a powerful tool for both sides of the supply chain:
| Audience | Use-Case | Benefit |
| Buyers (Streamers, Studios, Acquirers) | Scouting for specialist vendors in new markets (e.g., Asia or LATAM). | Instantly De-Risk Vendor Selection and qualify/shortlist companies based on an objective score. |
| Buyers (Streamers, Studios, Acquirers) | Finding suitable international co-production partners. | Identify producers with a proven track record (e.g., “AAA” rated) of delivering high-quality content on time. |
| Sellers (Vendors, ProdCos, Distributors) | Positioning themselves to global buyers. | A high rating acts as a global stamp of approval, building credibility at a glance. |
| Sellers (Vendors, ProdCos, Distributors) | Improving visibility on the Vitrina platform. | Attract High-Value Inbound Leads as buyers filter by reputation in their high-intent searches. |
