A few useful thingsBefore we
Before we
make something.
What do you need to get started?
A product or offer, the audience you want to reach, your goal and any existing brand assets. Product photos, packaging files and references help us define what to preserve and what to explore.
Do you only work with Colorado brands?
No. We're based in Boulder and work with brands remotely too. If a project needs local product capture or an in-person session, we'll discuss that in the brief.
Do you also run the advertising?
Our focus is creative direction and production. Media buying and campaign management stay with your team or media partner. We can provide a map of the creative variations so you know what each one is designed to test.
How much does a project cost?
It depends on the concepts, assets, motion and formats involved. Send us your product, goal and rough timing; we'll define the scope and quote before production starts.
