HOW WE STRUCTURE OUR TEAM
As a boutique “Project” model creative/production company we partner with clients on an as-needed basis to solve specific advertising problems. We do this by keeping our teams small and making a point to include our clients every step of the way. We start by choosing our project alpha and assigning a strategic right hand to oversee the project from a macro perspective. We then design a killer team curated to each specific assignment and we make sure there is sufficient support to manage all deliverables. In addition, we bring in partners to execute, depending on the project goals. Below are some of our favorite, award winning contributors we’ve conquered assignments for over the years. The rock stars below are experts on planning, strategy, writing, media and brand integration, motion & animation, SEO and film/TV production.
