Approach

How we show up.

We’re listening.

From the outset,
we’re all on equal terms.

  • We want to get to know you, your team, and the business problem you called us for.
  • We want to test our alignment and talk about how we all work.
  • We want to make sure we’re the right people to solve your problem or give you a great rec if we’re not.
  • We’d love to give you our holistic perspective if you're open to it.

When to DM

You need:

We may support on any
of these project phases:

  • Creative Strategy

    What story to tell, what’s it saying, to whom, and how will they benefit? Why is this story worth the audience’s attention?

  • Creative Direction

    How will this story be communicated visually, verbally, and conceptually? How will the audience interpret the message?

  • Production

    Making the damn thing efficiently and effectively and never forgetting the strategic intent of the artifact we’re making.

We believe the best way to be creative in an organized way — especially as a group of people who like to test the boundaries — is through collaboration, not competition.

Collaboration is wired into everything we do: our working relationships, our dialogue and debates, our intentions, and our creative process.

Some notes on how the two philosophies differ:

  • Competition

    • Some approach or perspective is inherently better.
    • Zero-sum outcomes: Where’s my slice? 🥧
    • Fosters a contest culture: Emphasizes quantitative win-conditions, like money, awards, and hierarchy.
    • Incentivizes information hiding.

  • Collaboration

    • Multiple approaches and perspectives are valued.
    • Positive-sum outcomes: We can make more pies together. 🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧
    • Fosters a communal culture: Emphasizes qualitative win-conditions, like connection, trust, respect, and support.
    • Incentivizes transparency in communication.
