As They Expand Their Production Services to Brussels !
Shelter Film joins JW Collective’s worldwide roster of service production giants.
With years of experience shooting commercials, films and music videos in Ukraine and Georgia (alongside Radioaktivefilm), Shelter Film has recently opened a base in Belgium to bring their skillset more locally to Europe.
Often referred to as the capital of Europe, their new base in Brussels offers a raft of fresh, historic and modern shooting locations, impressive studio facilities, a variety of sound stages up to 3,000 sq metres, cycloramas, and the world’s largest underwater stage (with moveable platform for decorations and multiple weather pre-sets) and an established pool of international casting talent.
Within just two hours by train from London (1.5 hours from Paris), this new base in Brussels also offers their clients the ability to cut their travel carbon emissions for productions. Eurostar claims the reduction in carbon for train vs plane London-Brussels is -96% – a train journey being 2.9 kg CO2 per person vs 68.1 kg by plane.
Albert Zurashvili, visionary Founder and EP at Shelter comments: ‘’Being in the heart of Europe, Brussels rarely comes to mind as a shooting service destination, and we want to take advantage of bringing these new locations, facilities, crews and skillsets, that are within a planet-friendly train ride, to many our clients”.
Dorothee Hernandez also joins shelter.film as Executive Producer in Brussels, bringing fifteen years of expertise in the French market to strengthen the global production standards of the local office. It is very important to the company that it shares the same high standards of work globally and this is supervised by the managing partners who share their time between offices.
Jane White, Founder, JW Collective comments: ‘We started working with Shelter Film recently alongside our longstanding Partner Radioaktivefilm in Georgia; the detail of the work they do is exceptional, and we are delighted to welcome them to JW Collective and look forward to introducing their talent to a wider commercials base”.

Sonic Branding For Social Media: Engage, Align, Connect
By Chad Cook -- With more than five billion people accessing social media daily, savvy brands understand the importance of cultivating a strong social identity. They devote massive resources toward brand awareness, audience targeting, content strategy and community engagement. Yet, while they know that social platforms are critical to boosting sales and attracting new customers, many neglect one of the most effective tools for connecting with consumers: sonic branding. Marketers often associate sonic branding with catchy mnemonics used by big brands like McDonald’s, Netflix and Intel in their advertising. But that is a very limited view of what sonic branding is and what it can do. Sonic branding is a way to build awareness and stimulate engagement across all touch points, from advertising to broadcast digital, in-person and social. And it’s not limited to members of the Fortune 500. Brands at all levels can benefit from a sonic identity that is memorable, engaging and reflective of its core values. Sound has been scientifically proven to be deeply tied to memory and emotion. There’s a reason that certain songs stick in your head and bring back memories formed years or even decades earlier. So, it’s surprising that sonic branding is often an afterthought in marketing plans. That is especially true in social media marketing. Faced with tight deadlines and strained budgets, creative teams are often tempted to select music for their content simply because it “fits.” Unfortunately, that may result in content that is in tune with what’s trending but is out of tune with brand identity. Effective sonic branding, by contrast, requires thoughtful strategic planning,... Read More
