For a over a decade, the studio has been helping clients define who they are, clarify what they do, as well as inform their intended audiences why they matter by engaging their consumers with thought-provoking visual narratives and digital experiences through a range of creative services.
Early in its existence, the studio's Principal made a conscious decision to remain lean in order to provide clients with an intimate consulting experience. Although independently operated, the studio possesses a unique ability to scale and custom-tailor teams by leveraging a trusted network of specialized associates developed over Martin's 15+ years in the creative business.
A broad scope of clients include athletes, media companies, collegiate sports properties, leagues, athletic departments, pro sports organizations, consumer brands, tech startups and ad agencies.
Due to the contractual nature of the sports & entertainment business, many of the studio's projects are private and not available for public viewing; however, a private portfolio viewing can be made available by request. Please contact the studio to inquire.
