A future where culturally-diverse content flows across media platforms engaging audiences in complementary but distinct ways.
Our transmedia strategy starts with developing strong core narrative from which to build integrated media ecosystems. These multiple points of contact create stronger relationships with users by providing unified layers for deeper discovery.
Rather than seeing diverse media as in competition with each other, we see an interconnected web of possibility, an expanded landscape of richer narrative potential.
By combining media channels with unified messaging, and leveraging the benefits unique to each platform, we produce holistic, integrated, immersive, and overlapping experiences.
Our diverse and dynamic team comes from all corners of the globe and includes designers, writers, artists, programmers, researchers, and technologists.
Our company culture is respectful, inclusive, and determined to help build a more representative content ecosystem.
