Our Approach

Exploit differences between the value of an asset and the cost of its acquisition … with a ruthless drive for efficiency.

Our Philosophy

Brands and advertisers will be faced with the increasingly difficult challenge of engaging consumers in the fragmented media landscape unless …

  • Brands engage consumers by creating unique, compelling, and immersive experiences, stories and Entertainment
  • These stories and experiences must be told simultaneously over multiple media platforms
  • A new entertainment and advertising paradigm has emerged where the expertise of Madison Avenue is combined with the “creative capital” of Hollywood to create compelling, immersive experiences and entertainment for brands
  • In success, branded entertainment programs have and will live beyond their original intended purpose to drive consumer engagement and brand awareness to become a part of the cultural conversation and “zeitgeist”
  • The potential exists for brands to have true ownership in entertainment properties that live on for years
