Video Production + Photography + Strategic Results
CB43Media has built an impressive presence in Montreal’s creative scene since 2018. Founded by Chris Carpenter with just a Canon T5i, CB43Media has grown into a multimedia production company with experience shooting concerts, working with record labels, music festivals, and notable clients like Polo G. Their versatile approach covers photography and videography across music, automotive, commercial, and wedding content with flexible pricing for all budgets.
Many businesses need content that goes beyond creative production to drive measurable business outcomes. They’re looking for strategic partners who combine creative excellence with business intelligence, performance tracking, and ROI measurement.
Bernardson provides comprehensive visual solutions with a strategic-first approach. We combine professional photography and full-service video production with business strategy, audience targeting, and analytics to transform content into growth drivers. Founded in 2015 with multilingual capabilities (English, French, Spanish) and offices in Montreal, Toronto, and Puerto Rico, we deliver culturally authentic content with measurable results for growth-focused businesses.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Bernardson's pricing compare to CB43Media?
CB43Media offers flexible pricing working with small and large budgets, which is excellent for accessibility. Bernardson's pricing reflects our strategic approach and comprehensive service scope. We provide transparent custom quotes based on project complexity, deliverables, and business objectives. Many clients find bundling services (video plus photography plus strategy) saves 30-40% compared to hiring multiple vendors. We offer flexible arrangements from single projects to ongoing partnerships with volume discounts.
Can Bernardson match CB43Media's videography and content creation?
CB43Media brings impressive experience shooting concerts, working with record labels, and creating content for music industry clients since 2018. Their agile, run-and-gun style is perfect for live events and fast-paced environments. Bernardson offers professional videography as part of our broader strategic production services. Our strength is combining creative execution with business strategy, including pre-production planning, performance tracking, and ROI measurement. We excel when clients need content that drives specific business outcomes beyond documentation.
What makes Bernardson's multi-platform approach different?
Traditional studios shoot in one format and expect you to adapt it for different platforms. This leads to cropped or awkwardly framed content that underperforms.
We plan multi-platform optimization from the start. We shoot vertical (9:16 for Instagram/TikTok), square (1:1 for feeds), and widescreen (16:9 for YouTube) simultaneously. Each platform gets content designed specifically for it, typically increasing engagement rates 40-60% compared to repurposed content.
