Agency Articles

Choosing an agency seems like an easy decision and then suddenly costs you a year. You sit through four pitches. Everyone has a great looking deck, and a showreel with a graph going up to the right, and someone very charming doing most of the talking. Six months later you’re emailing a junior you’ve never […] ...

Generally you can tell within about two seconds if an ad has nothing to say. Drone went up the mountain. Family laughing around the braai in slow motion.

We hear the terms green filmmaking and ESG marketing thrown around in boardrooms constantly. Brands want to be seen as responsible, and agencies are quick to promise an eco-friendly approach. But what does that actually mean when the cameras start rolling? True sustainable production is not just about banning plastic water bottl...
