Social Capabilities

Buddha Jones is an award-winning advertising and design agency that strives to engage audiences in a way that sparks emotion and shapes our culture…

…and we’re like their nepo baby.


About Us

It’s award-winning creative at the speed of social.

Buddha Social is what happens when a prolific A/V agency with deep roots in Hollywood history hires a group of social natives + Gen Z icons to run their own department.

From box office hits to fancam fodder to stirring cinematic love letters, we’ve got you covered.

 

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.

Avowed

We teamed up with Obsidian for the launch of Avowed to create an authentic social moment that engaged both core fans and a broader audience. We produced an unboxing video of the bear and North Spore kits, followed by a 30-day timelapse released on launch day.

Shining Vale - S2

For the Shining Vale Season 2 campaign, we partnered with STARZ to create custom content for TikTok. We filmed and produced footage of one of the show’s characters in costume, transforming him into a social media influencer. We filmed him engaging in current TikTok trends and challenges to create shareable clips that built awareness for the new season.

It Ends With Us

We partnered with Sony Pictures to create an immersive book-to-screen piece for the It Ends With Us campaign. Leaning into the film’s themes and aesthetic, as well as their BookTok fanbase, we captured stylistic book shots in order to create a dynamic and seamless TikTok transition, leading into a paneled video of footage paired with text.

Death and Other Details

Buddha Jones worked closely with Hulu to create a date announcement piece to help launch their new show Death And Other Details. Using original footage of each actor captured on green screen, we used Unreal Engine to create a replica of the sets from the show and seamlessly integrate the characters together bringing the piece to life. This spot went on to win Best Digital - Drama at the Golden Trailer Awards.

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).

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.
