↬ Cultural Network Activation
Ideas are born of interchanges between creative minds. Tapping into our network of cultural pioneers allows us to have eyes and ears on emergent market trends, platforms, and strategies of influence. We engage with this community to create expanded areas of consultation expertise, and, when necessary, to augment and create a hybrid team for your project needs. We know when to lean out and where to find the right people to bring in.
✤ Music Supervision
Sometimes a project requires music to further its storytelling, eliciting a specific emotional response. We provide strategic oversight and budgeting consultations that help you with all aspects of music supervision: sourcing and song selection, clearance and licensing, and acquisition of original productions for visual media.
