WE’RE A CREATIVE VIDEO AGENCY
WE HELP BRANDS ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS,
COMBINING OUR CINEMATOGRAPHY,
MARKETING & HUMAN BEHAVIOR
ADVANCED SKILLS.
This means we do much more than just filming, directing,
and editing. We’re continuously learning about psychology,
communication, human behavior, story structure, marketing,
and cinematography – to create videos that work.
As a creative video agency, we do everything in-house:
concept, pre-production, production, and post-production.
OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE CREATIVE
AND MEANINGFUL VIDEOS THAT
MOVE AUDIENCES.
In our stories, strategy plays the role of the narrator.
So, to make this happen, we take time to understand your business, your needs, your audience, and the challenges you face. This is how we can create efficient and engaging videos.

TESTIMONIALS
Here’s what people have to say about
their experience with us
Popotamii... I've come to think of them as friends because I like them so much! They are the most professional young team I have worked with. The volubility, cheerfulness - combined with Maria's professional security is something that I have never met before, and Costin's seriousness and professionalism I only met at the big advertising/casting/PR agencies from Bucharest. These young people are exceptional! The way they manage to work and produce a finished product is comparable with a good film studio.

Popotam is that kind of boutique creative agency where the approach is super customized, where you feel the people are next to you, involved at the level of detail. What they deliver is often beyond expectations. I really appreciate their meticulous involvement and creativity in generating the right solutions. Maria and Costin are two young professionals with great potential and a bright future.
Daniel Crainic
Head of Marketing & Communications - Imobiliare.ro
I am pleased to collaborate with Popotam since 2016. The young executives Maria and Costin become our reliable business partners and very good friends through their professionalism in helping my organization to own extremely valuable videos for the areas of Street Art, Sports and Adventure Tourism. Their very impactful video creations are increasing trust and explain our offering in an authentic way. My team worked with them on numerous projects over the past several years, and it has always been an easy and stress-free process.

The collaboration with Popotam was flawless. Maria and Costin are super professionals in what they do and came prepared with everything needed on the day of the shoot. They are very nice people, relaxed, cheerful and full of life and our children from Wendy felt very comfortable and cooperated well with them. Before filming, we discussed the script made entirely by Maria, and by mutual agreement, we established what we wanted to convey through the video. The experience with Popotam was awesome!

Maria and Costin are in a league of their own. The passion, involvement, and professional bias we got were real eye-openers for us. All I can say is that they delivered what they promised.
Dr. Florina Todorut
Founder - Azeena & Gyniclinique
A highly professional team – using the latest available equipment on the market alongside a sharp understanding of the concept I’ve proposed, they delivered exactly what we asked for in a very short span of time. A truly pleasant working experience.
Sebastian Ciobanu
Marketing Manager - Aivia
I collaborated twice with Popotam as an actress. They are a great team that creates emotion, with good taste, calmness and perseverance. They find solutions and manage to promote what you can't say in words. They are easy to communicate with, and I understood from the beginning what they wanted from me and what they were asking for.
Maria Gornic
Actress - Merlin Theater
It was a real pleasure to work with Maria, and Costin, and I am more than satisfied with the final result. A super team with super talent!
