Agencies and studios

Media & Advertising IT

Los Angeles agencies live on renders, shared drives, and client NDAs. Secure Techies keeps the studio online without turning the edit bay into a help-desk experiment.

Why this industry is different

A crashed RAID is a missed delivery

Creative shops are not generic offices. Storage, color-critical workstations, and client confidentiality all sit in the same room.

  1. 01

    Files that do not fit email

    Campaign assets need fast storage, sane permissions, and a backup that can restore yesterday’s edit.

  2. 02

    Freelancers everywhere

    Access has to appear on Monday and vanish on Friday. Shared passwords are how cuts leak.

  3. 03

    Client NDAs

    Unreleased work is a legal problem if it walks. Device encryption and MFA are part of the creative process now.

What is in the plan

Everything we do for agencies and studios

Storage, identity, and a help desk that understands 11 p.m. deliveries.

Studio floor

  • Help desk on deadline
    Producers, editors, and account teams. After-hours is normal.
  • Shared storage and RAID
    Sized for the restore window you actually need. Start with the RAID calculator.
  • Studio network
    The edit bay is not guest Wi-Fi.
  • On-site LA
    Hardware from Canoga Park.

Access and NDAs

  • Freelancer access
    Time-boxed accounts. Same-week offboard.
  • Microsoft 365
    Mail and sharing that does not leak unreleased work.
  • Endpoint and MFA
    NDAs are a technical problem now.

Recovery

  • Restore tests on real edits
    Yesterday’s timeline, not a sample folder.

If the shared volume dies at 11 p.m., the campaign does not care that it is after hours.

What we size and protect

We are not your colorist. We keep storage, identity, and the network from becoming the delivery risk.

IT support for media and advertising agencies

Secure Techies provides media and advertising IT for Los Angeles studios and agencies that cannot miss a delivery. The stack is familiar — Microsoft 365, identity, backups — plus storage and workstations that do not pretend a 4K timeline is a Word doc.

If the shared volume dies at 11 p.m., the campaign does not care that it is after hours. Freelancers need access on Monday and none on Friday. Unreleased work is an NDA problem if it walks.

Who we work with

LA advertising agencies, in-house brand studios, and small post rooms that need corporate IT plus large-file literacy. We are not your colorist. Application and panel calibration stay with your post team.

What should be in the plan

  • Help desk that treats after-hours as normal
  • Shared storage and RAID sized for the restore window you actually need — start with the RAID calculator
  • Time-boxed freelancer accounts and same-week offboard
  • MFA, encryption, and mail that does not leak unreleased cuts
  • Restore tests on yesterday’s timeline, not a sample folder
  • A studio network that is not guest Wi-Fi
  • Web development when a campaign or studio site is part of the work

How an engagement starts

How we enter a studio

Ask what must restore in hours versus what can sit cold.

  1. 01

    Capacity math

    Start with the [RAID calculator](/tools/raid-calculator/).

  2. 02

    Access windows

    Freelancers appear Monday and vanish Friday.

  3. 03

    Prove restore

    Yesterday’s edit is the test, not a sample folder.

  4. 04

    Deadline support

    11 p.m. tickets are normal here.

Why this team

Why LA agencies use a local MSP

We are down the 101 from a lot of this work. On-site still matters when a workstation will not mount the volume.

  • Deadline culture

    Same as law firms — unbillable waiting is the enemy.

  • Storage literacy

    We will talk RAID and backup windows in English. Start with the free RAID tool.

  • No fake post-house claim

    We are not your colorist. We keep the machines and the network boringly reliable.

  • Web when you need it

    Web development for campaign and studio sites.

Agency IT questions

Do you support edit bays and color suites?
We support the network, storage, backups, and identity around those rooms. Application and panel calibration stay with your post team.
Can you handle large media backups?
Yes, with an honest conversation about what must restore in hours versus what can wait on cold storage. Use the surveillance and storage calculators as a starting point for capacity math.
How do you onboard freelancers securely?
Time-boxed accounts, MFA, least privilege on the share, and a same-day offboard when the contract ends.
Do you work with in-house brand studios?
Yes. The pattern is the same: mixed Mac/Windows, large files, and client confidentiality.
Where do you provide on-site support?
Los Angeles and Southern California from Canoga Park.
