01What we do

We work two sides of the table.

For brands

Creator strategy that actually performs.

The studio has sat on the platform side of every kind of brand-creator deal. We know what the algorithm rewards and what the editorial teams green-light, because we've been the ones approving it.

  • Platform strategy
  • Creator GTM
  • Tentpole moments
  • Always-on programs
For AI & creator-tool startups

Launch a creator ecosystem from zero.

Most products for creators die because no one comes. The team has built creator programs and developer relations from scratch at three of the largest platforms in the world.

  • Ecosystem launch
  • Community design
  • Developer relations
  • Founder advisory
