Storytelling
We bring a vast network of photographers, videographers, editors, graphic artists and digital media experts that craft campaigns through thoughtful storytelling and tailored perspective.
Activation

Recent Work
Chobani Athlete Integration
In early 2025, Chobani engaged our team to develop and execute a tailored athlete integration strategy for their marquee sponsorship of the year: the Alianza de Futbol Tour, the largest Hispanic youth soccer tournament series in the United States.
We handled every aspect, building the athlete strategy, coordinating logistics and on-site management with Thinkingbox, Alianza, Pro-Mobile, capturing compelling content, and leading social media execution for athletes and brand.
The real highlights were the unforgettable expressions on the young players' faces and the lasting impressions these authentic moments created. That's the heart of why we do this work. We're honored to work with these outstanding humans and jugadores:
-
Andres Perea (defensive midfielder for New York City FC / NYCFC): A young, talented, immensely personable Colombian-American player with strong local ties in NYC's diverse soccer scene. Andres is as kind as they come.
-
Christian Ramirez (forward for LA Galaxy): An experienced U.S. international striker with roots in Southern California's soccer community, even competing in this very event as a child. His participation aligned with the San Bernardino tour stop perfectly.
-
Angel Zaldivar (forward, formerly with F.C. Juarez / Bravos; now with LD Alajuelense): A Mexican forward with appeal in border-region markets well suited to engage with fans and young players in far West Texas. Angel even brought his beautiful family along for the ride which was an unexpected pleasure.
Visit Jacksonville
The "Soul of Surf" campaign for Visit Jacksonville, developed in partnership with MediaOne.Digital, stands out as a prime example of authentic destination marketing that celebrates a city's unique coastal identity.
The initiative highlighted Jacksonville's rich surf heritage, community spirit, and laid-back beach culture, positioning the Beaches area as a genuine surf destination rather than just another Florida tourist spot. Collaborations with brands like GoPro and Catch Surf brought in creators and riders to capture raw, on-the-ground experiences, resulting in compelling videos, social content, and a sweepstakes that invited visitors to win surf getaways.
We stepped into the project later in the process, coming on board after initial planning had wrapped and timelines were tight. The core challenge: tailor an elevated, credible itinerary that felt deeply rooted in Jacksonville's surf scene without coming across as outsider-produced or generic tourism fluff. Credit to local longboard world champ Justin Quintal and his crew for the lesson in over-the-top hospitality.
Diplo's MMXX Tour
When Diplo's team approached us with the vision to infuse outdoor adventure into his MMXX era-blending the tour's creative energy with California's wild landscapes, we got excited. We orchestrated an immersive four-day journey across the state, curating distinct experiences tailored to Wes's adventurous spirit and his entire crew:
Mountain biking and off-roading through the iconic desert terrain of Joshua Tree with dirt legends Colton Udall and Eliot Jackson.
Deep-sea fishing off the Monterey coast with Captain Chenzo.
Surfing the waves of Big Sur with Ian "Big Dog" Glover.
From initial strategy and detailed planning to full on-the-ground execution, our team handled every detail, securing guides, managing logistics, and capturing raw, unfiltered moments. The result is a series of short films that humanize Wes beyond the stage, showcasing his genuine love for exploration, camaraderie, and pushing limits. It was a thrill to facilitate these unforgettable adventures for Wes and his team, proving that the best stories come from real experiences in the wild.
Blurring the Lines
in Whistler
To make a bold statement in the surf world where the North Shore of Oahu reigns as the undisputed epicenter of big-wave culture and authenticity, our client sought an unconventional, high-impact activation.
Rather than competing directly (and at high cost) on the famous breaks of Pipeline or Waimea, we flipped the script: bringing a powerhouse lineup of North Shore legends to the mountains of Whistler, British Columbia. We curated a boundary-blurring, culture-fusing experience that bridged the worlds of surfing and snowboarding.
Iconic surfers and photographers including Coco Ho, Mike Ho, Shane Dorian, Nathan Fletcher, CJ Hobgood, Erik Knutson, Zander Morton, Jimmy Wilson, and Ryan Miller joined Whistler locals and pro snowboarders Mikey Ciccarelli and Mark Sollors for an immersive few days of shared adventures.
Through powder sessions, backcountry exploration, casual hangs, and genuine cross-discipline storytelling, the trip forged real connections and lifelong friendships across these storied communities. Not only did this organic blending drive millions of social media impressions, it opened doors for seamless product seeding and allowed the client to integrate naturally into the nuanced, tight-knit North Shore culture without forcing the narrative. This is how we elevated brand that resonated deeply in surf's most revered circles, proving that true brand momentum comes from shared passion outdoors.
