A little about Matar Media:

Who we are

We at Matar believe there is a “Right” way to do everything. Of course, the “Right” way always evolves, but we’re constantly (and forever will be) in search of what works best; for us, for the industry, and of course, our partners (a.k.a: our clients).

This makes us extremely process-driven, with creativity leading the way. You can compare us with Ants for that matter. But like, crazy wizard-ants that tend to make magic happen.

We’re a 40-member team, still trying to figure out if Chai is better than Coffee or vice-versa. We’re 5 yrs old. Bootstrapped. DIY-Experts.

Oh, but most importantly? We love creating content that solves the right problem for our clients.

What do we do

We’re a creative managed marketplace for getting creative work done (highlight on creative x2) - the way it deserves. We offer services across the domains of photo, video & animation to our clients. We’re not an agency, or at least don’t function like one. We onboard specialized full-time and freelance talent for every project regardless of its scale. From a low-budget event to a high-budget concept Ad, we do it all.
