We’re the perfect partner...

With experience spanning from traditional studios to streamers to premium cable — we understand the industry like the back of our hand. Combine that with hands-on social experience and unmatched creative ability, we’re here to help you flex from theatrical quality thematic vibes to unhinged brainrot edits (sometimes all at once)!

Diving deep into stories and fandoms to develop strategies that draw in new audiences while also giving iykyk nods to fans.
The ultimate catalyst for conversation. Whether it’s proactive or within the hour, we’re here to make sure you don’t miss an opportunity (or align yourself with the wrong one).
Shares are the new follow — pass it on. With algorithms constantly in flux, we make content that speaks to behavior. Whether it’s relatable meme text or exciting formats, we’re here to make sure your content shines as much in the DMs as it does in feed.

A Minecraft Movie

How do you develop campaign content that pleases hardcore fans (who are already showing resistance to their beloved IP being adapted) while also drawing in new audiences?!

Step 1: Put talent front and center, duh.

Step 2: Lean all the way in with colorful, absurd, brainrot content that’s entertaining but also features iykyk nods that’ll appeal to even the coolest of teens.

Smurfs

o break out of the standard slew of campaign content, we were tasked with creating paid content that would break out of the sea of sameness — leaning into trending formats and relatable text-on-screen to delight audiences with sharable memes worthy of DMing to your friends and/or sharing with your kids!

Wuthering Heights

Before romance went mainstream and Heated Rivalry penetrated the hearts of millions, Warner Bros saw that yearning was starting to have a moment and tapped us to help them go all in. We created boundary pushing social content that paired romance with provocation, all through the lens of “the greatest love story ever told.”

By mixing romantic moments, trending formats, feed-breaking elements and just the right amount of steaminess, we sought to quench the thirst of every fangirl (gender neutral) on the internet while inspiring a whole lot of good ol’ fashioned blushing (and ticket buying, of course).

Tell Me Lies - S3

With the penultimate season of their smash hit looming, Hulu challenged us to reignite the obsessive Tell Me Lies fanbase while also expanding to a new, younger audience. To do so, we built on the chaos of past seasons to deliver the messy, toxic content that fans crave and created recap-driven storytelling to hook both die-hards and new fans alike.

We delivered a full-semester content arc that mirrored the chaos of life at Baird itself. Starting by reigniting the Lucy/Stephen obsession with nostalgia-fueled, toxicity-driven recaps. We drove weekly speculation with in-world episode title teases before closing it all out with sustained discourse filled with iykyk supercuts and sharable content.

Odessa

Sometimes the stars align and you’re presented with a post-apocalyptic rock opera with psychedelic imagery up the wazoo and free reign to just have fun with it.
