Services
Commercials, brand films, B2B video, employer branding, social, animation and podcasts — seven video production services under one roof, directed by the owners themselves with nobody in between. Every production gets treated like art, whatever the budget. We make the ordinary extraordinary.
DOT Video Agency is a video production company in Uithoorn, fifteen minutes from Schiphol and twenty from central Amsterdam. Tijmen van Grieken and Jesper de Rek founded it in 2018. Its video production services cover commercials, brand films, B2B video, employer branding, social and short-form video, animation and video podcasts, for brands across the Netherlands and Europe.
Seven services, and each one works differently — its own creative logic, its own production rhythm, its own definition of a result. Strategy, scripting, direction, shoot, edit, sound, original score and grade all happen under one roof. An owner directs every project.
Each links to a full page: what you get, what it costs, how long it takes.

|---|---|---|
| Commercials | Advertising built to survive a skip button, across CTV, DOOH, cinema and paid social | €10.000–€50.000 |
| Brand films | The film that decides how you are understood, not what you sell | €5.500–€50.000 |
| B2B video | Customer stories, explainers and always-on content for long sales cycles | €2.500–€20.000+ |

Most briefs arrive as a format request and turn out to be a different problem underneath. Twenty minutes usually finds it.

Briefs arrive as a format. The better question is what is broken.
None of them quite fit? That is normal. Twenty minutes on a call beats a week on a brief.
Born in music. Built for film. Tijmen and Jesper founded DOT in 2018 after careers as DJs and producers across ten countries. That is not a biography note. It is why music, story and picture are one conversation here instead of three handovers, and why we have written 150+ original tracks instead of licensing what everyone else already used.
No account layer. When scope or timing moves, the owners make the call on the spot. Clients notice that first, and it is the reason time-sensitive work reaches us at all.
We treat every production like art. A corporate explainer gets the same attention as a campaign film, because the brief is never the ceiling. Give us the ordinary and we will hand back something extraordinary. That is the entire job.
Every frame is a decision. We just make sure every decision is the right one.
DOT projects fall in the €2.500 to €50.000 range, with most landing between €8.500 and €15.000. A focused customer story sits at one end. A multi-market campaign across CTV, DOOH and social sits at the other.
Every budget is line-itemed. Production days, talent, locations, post complexity, asset-library size — separate numbers, not one flat fee with a shrug attached. Most agencies will not publish a range at all. We would rather you knew before the call.
We are a fit for brands with something to prove. We are not a fit for the cheapest-supplier search. If that is the brief, we will say so in the first ten minutes rather than the third meeting.
Feadship, DFDS, Albert Heijn x LUMEN, PwC, Mitsubishi Electric, AFAS Live, RS, Ploum, Rompslomp, Paul Meijering Staal, Pelican Rouge, ShakaCan and The Set Company. Some are multi-year partnerships. Some are a single campaign. We treat both the same way: the first project earns the second.
A 99.5% completion rate on Connected TV for DFDS. A 5.0 ROAS on paid social for ShakaCan. 42 films for one Albert Heijn campaign. 100+ platform-ready deliverables from a single production day. Over 500 productions delivered since 2018, across more than 14 countries.
Uithoorn, fifteen minutes from Schiphol and twenty from central Amsterdam. The studio houses an in-house edit suite, a colour grading room and a purpose-built video podcast studio. You are welcome to visit.
Both. Most of our work is direct with in-house marketing teams. We also produce as a specialist partner inside other agencies' campaigns, including retail series running to 40+ films. The boundary is simple: when an agency brings us in, the client relationship stays theirs.
That is the normal starting point. Most briefs arrive named as a format and turn out to be a different problem underneath — a positioning issue described as a brand film, a pipeline issue described as a social problem. Twenty minutes on a call finds it faster than a week on a brief.
Depends what is already booked. We are a small team, so we are not always available at short notice. Time-sensitive work is possible and we do a lot of it, but that speed comes from a flat structure once we start, not from spare capacity. Talk to us earlier than feels necessary.
The objective, the audience, where it will run, and roughly what you are willing to spend. That last one is not a negotiating tactic — a €4.000 brief and a €20.000 brief are different films, and knowing which we are designing saves everyone a round. If you do not have a number yet, say so and we will scope options instead.
No. Your material is not licensed to model providers, not used as training data, and not fed into generative tools as reference. Concepts, scripts and brand copy are written by people here. If that matters to your legal team, we will put it in writing.
Or just a problem you think might be one. Tijmen and Jesper take these conversations directly — twenty minutes is enough to know whether the work fits.
