Why OC Brands Choose 7 Hills
The Challenge: Orange County is a powerhouse of innovation, but many local agencies lack the high end cinema gear found in LA. Conversely, hiring an LA crew often means paying high travel fees for traffic delays.
The Solution: We are the local authority. Operating from our Irvine Headquarters, we deploy crews across the county instantly. We combine the agility of a local team with the rigorous strategy of a global agency. No travel fees. No LA traffic. Just premium content right in your backyard.
