Cross-Border Excellence: Shooting U.S. Ads in Mexico and Spain

Garage Films delivers top-quality, cost-efficient ads for top U.S. brands by leveraging production in Mexico and Spain.

Garage Films has partnered with industry giants to deliver campaigns for brands like Google, Head & Shoulders, and Jeep, through leading ad agencies Saatchi & Saatchi, Highdiveus, and Alma shooting abroad on their other territories offering huge advantages for their campaigns.

CHALLENGE

To produce top-quality, English-language spots for the U.S. general market agencies from its Barcelona and Mexico bases. By utilizing Spain’s and Mexico diverse landscapes, Garage Films provides premium, U.S. ad production at a fraction of the cost-redefining value without compromising quality.

PROCESS

Spots like Google Pixel for the Super Bowl and one for the Jeep campaign, were all shot outside of the U.S., specifically in Mexico and Spain, where production costs are significantly lower without compromising quality at any level. The unique advantage of Garage Club as a group being legally incorporated both inside of the U.S. and abroad allows for the production of world-class campaigns tailored to American audiences to be shot out of country while keeping everything in-house.

The trio of bases located in Barcelona, Los Angeles, and Mexico eliminates the need for third party service companies and enables seamless collaboration across borders, with Garage Films overseeing every detail, from creative direction to production logistics.

RESULTS

The campaign for Head & Shoulders, directed by Albert Uria, is a testament to this efficiency and creative vision; spots that were crafted and shot in Spain for an American audience that maintain the same premium standards expected from a U.S.-based shoot.

The Jeep campaign vehicles tastefully showcasing the vibrant lifestyle of its drivers capturing the essence of the American outdoors.

The Google campaign shot in Mexico and awarded in the US AICP.
