Use the Right Filters for Your Needs
Want to find a post house in Manila that’s worked on drama series for streamers? You need more than Google. Use filters like:
- Region & Country targeting
- Content genre specialization
- Service categories (e.g., VFX, dubbing, grading)
- Ownership type (indie, corporate, network-owned)
This ensures you’re comparing apples to apples — and not wasting time.
Check for Track Records and Market Credibility
The best predictor of future performance? Past partnerships. Check for:
- Notable collaborations (e.g., with Netflix, Warner, Globo)
- Project history (genre, scale, region)
- Reputation metrics — client reviews, awards, deal mentions
Bonus tip: Read Vitrina’s Globo Brazil case study to see how major players do it.
