COLOSSUS:
We make advertising for people who hate advertising.
It’s no secret, people hate advertising. In fact, they actively avoid it. So we work to find things they do love and then we wedge ourselves into that instead – art, music, culture, purpose, all of it. We work on behalf of our brand partners to build a valuable exchange for time and attention. Ultimately creating things consumers seek out rather than avoid.
HOW WE GET THERE:
Not all journeys are fraught with dysentery.
There is no golden truth, except that shaping a brand the right way and breaking through the noise is hard. It takes time, risk and a willingness to be a bit uncomfortable — because there is no map to uncharted territory. Thankfully, you don’t have to go it alone. Because we believe that partnership matters. And that rolling up your sleeves, trusting each other and collaborating, early and often, can take you anywhere. Even through the most perilous of terrain.
HOW WE WORK:
We are experts in not having all the answers.
We believe in endless curiosity. And in asking a lot of questions. In turning things inside out, upside down and getting past the obvious answers. We don’t have a lot of patience for folks who “have it all figured out.” Because things change way too fast for that to ever be true. Instead, we believe that a yearning for knowledge and experimentation is what kicks open the door to great ideas. It’s perpetual motion. We work with brands who share that same sense of curiosity and optimism for brighter futures.
