The New Zealand music scene is full of fresh energy and powerful stories. For artists, a music video clip is more than visuals, it’s identity, audience connection, and a way to leave a lasting impression.
Āio Media, based in the Bay of Plenty, has become a trusted name in music video production in New Zealand and internationally, working with artists like Tawaz, Lads of the Mist, Lehali, and Stan Walker.
Our Approach
Every project starts with a clear story. We begin with a branding and concept consultation, then build a mood board with the artist to guide the creative direction. This ensures every detail, from styling to locations, stays on brand.
A Complete Digital Strategy Package
Aio Media offers a complete digital strategy package. We don’t just create your music video; we also provide insights and advice on how and when to release social media material to maximise reach and engagement.
This service helps artists get the best return on their investment by making sure that every piece of content, from teaser reels to BTS footage, lands at the right time and on the right platform.
Aio Media already supports a number of artists and television shows in their digital rollouts, and we can do the same for you. From timing strategies to content sequencing, we make sure your music video isn’t just released but makes a real impact.
Locations Across Aotearoa and Beyond
From geothermal valleys and lakes to vibrant cityscapes, New Zealand offers incredible backdrops. Our team handles location scouting, finding the right setting to match the song’s energy. We also take projects overseas, supporting Kiwi artists wherever their vision takes them.
Professional Gear and Experienced Crew
We film with Netflix-approved Sony FX3 cameras, drones, and professional lighting. Our team includes experienced DOPs, skilled camera operators, and a dedicated director, giving artists confidence that their video will meet broadcast standards worldwide.
Cover Imagery for Albums and Streaming Platforms
We know how important it is for artists to maximise every opportunity during a shoot. That’s why we like to kill two birds with one stone and capture high-quality cover photo imagery while on set. These images can be edited and delivered ready for album covers, Spotify artwork, and other streaming platforms, ensuring your brand looks polished and consistent across every channel.
Behind-the-Scenes Content for Building Hype
Another way to extend the value of a music video production is through behind-the-scenes (BTS) content. As part of our customised packages, we can capture candid photos and video clips during the shoot. This provides you with a suite of images and short clips that can be rolled out in the lead-up to release, giving fans a taste of what’s coming and helping to build excitement around the official drop.
Building Hype Before Release
To support every launch, we create a professional teaser reel optimised for TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube Shorts. These reels generate buzz and drive viewers to the full release, maximising impact.
