Our Team

I'll kick off and lead every project but my teammates below, most with both serious marketing and entertainment experience, will support your efforts at every turn. And, of course, we will expand beyond this team and call upon the best programmers, animators, VFX teams, and producers to get your project to be all that you need it to be! There is more on our creative partners below.

Louis Anastas

Creative Director / Founder

Louis is a hands-on writer, director, and novelist who has spent two decades developing engaging content – in agency and in-house settings – that has reached millions and achieved strong business results. Much of the content—including hundreds of TV commercials—was created with minimal dollars and small, talented teams while other work, for larger brands, was created with massive teams. That said, it doesn’t take large amounts of money to achieve strong, sustained results but it does take an unwavering commitment to dive deep to create content that connects with your audience on an emotional level.
