    Commercial Examples

    Agency Commercials


    Agency commercials start with a creative vision that is brought to life by our experienced production team. With years of collaboration with marketing or ad agencies under our belt, 5Gear Studios handles every stage of production.

    Company Commercials


    A company commercial is one of the most effective ways to showcase your business — ideal for websites, social media, conferences, and television. It delivers a clear, engaging message about who you are and what you offer, no matter your industry or audience.

    Small Business Commercials


    No matter the size of your business, video marketing is a powerful way to get your name out there. Web and television commercials help small businesses promote effectively, build community connections, and reach new audiences — all within reach.

    Non-Profit Organization Commercials


    With over 35 years in the video industry, 5Gear Studios has produced impactful commercials for a wide range of charity organizations. Whether you’re raising awareness, promoting an event, or recruiting volunteers, video is a powerful way to connect with the public and share your mission.

    Service Commercials


    Service commercials are a powerful way to showcase what your business offers, especially when your service is dynamic and hands-on. A well-crafted commercial doesn’t just inform — it engages and excites your audience, helping them understand the value of what you do.

    Pre-Roll Ads


    One of the most effective ways of marketing your business is through a pre-roll ad. A pre-roll ad is a video advertisement that automatically plays directly before a featured video, on both mobile and desktop. These ads are commonly 15, 30, or 60 seconds long. Running an ad before the user’s desired content means the audience is likely still engaged, interested, and willing to sit through a brief ad to get to the content they want to see. Contact 5Gear Studios today and let's create your Pre-roll ad.

    Government Commercials


    We've all seen them before. Commercials from Government. These commercials can be political, informative or service message related. Our studio owner worked in the Ontario Government in the early 90's, gaining valuable experience of what it means to create commercials for Municipal, Provincial and Federal governmental bodies. If your department requires a commercial for your next message, contact 5Gear Studios today and let's get creative!
