Oakland is one of the most distinctive markets in California — a tech corridor crossed with a food and arts scene that few cities can match. The work that performs here has personality. WERZ ships brand films, commercials, drone footage, and product video shaped specifically for Oakland and the East Bay.
Beyond video, the Oakland engagements run custom Next.js websites and full-service marketing for tech, food and beverage, healthcare, nonprofits, climate tech and cleantech, real estate, arts and culture, retail, and professional services clients. One studio, end to end. East Bay is anchor territory for hardware-focused climate tech — Berkeley energy lab ecosystem, Oakland industrial corridor.
Local proof: WERZ founder Sebastian Werz built 1971 Hook, a Hudson Valley hot sauce now stocked at both Oakland Whole Foods stores — Harrison and Temescal — as part of a 45-store launch across NorCal, Boise, and Reno.
