Velocity IP validates audience demand before producing, self-distributing and monetising original entertainment franchises.
We use audience data and social video testing to learn which story concepts, characters and visual hooks gain the highest retention and engagement.
We produce these proven concepts as IP franchises, while we grow audiences around them and build paths to direct-to-consumer commerce, partnerships and licensing.
We also work with selected co-production and brand partners looking for stories proven to engage.
Our studio combines senior creative talent with AI-assisted workflows to test early, move fast and reduce the risk of building entertainment IP.
