Who We Are
We are creators who live to be original.
For the past two decades, we’ve been building a playground for the creation of original work. A place where a diverse collective of artists, thinkers and makers can express themselves, be bold, and experiment freely. A place where brands come to be authentic, challenge conformity and stand out from the crowd.
We’re not simply a design studio, production company, or visual effects house. We’re a modern creative company. We strategize, we ideate, we design, we create, we make. We go wherever our pursuit of originality takes us.
To be original requires a new school of thought. We are Brand New School.
