ABOUT US
Hi! We’re Jess and Austin. It’s great to meet you.
We’re a U.S.-bred but London-based creative team, complete with dual U.S./U.K citizenship. We’ve been partners since 2010, when the creative manager at our first agency thought we’d work well together because we’re both really tall. Having just graduated from ad school and not knowing any better, we assumed all creative partnerships were based on height and went with it. We like ads. We like solving problems. And we get just as excited by traditional storytelling as we do about utilising tech the general public hasn’t even heard of.

WHAT ELSE WE'RE PROUD OF
Two of our pieces are in the permanent collection
of the Museum of Modern Art in NYC.
We helped create a pop song for an anti-bullying campaign
that currently has over 60 million plays on Spotify.
We built the first-ever spambot officially sanctioned by Twitter.
Multiple people actually got married to a track we
created for a commercial about banking.
Drop us a line if you’d like us to come to your agency and
help make awesome stuff. Or if you just need people who can
reach things on high shelves. Whichever.
