Defiant

Being defiant isn’t about making noise for attention. It’s about standing firm when something’s off; and choosing to act with intention. It means calling out what’s broken and doing the real work to build something better. Something that lasts.

We forgot what the point of marketing is. It's not about your product, and it's not about your service. It's about one person with a solution helping another person with a problem.

We’re against ‘corporate video’ thinking. The “corporate video” isn’t just a format, it’s a symptom of a bigger problem: messaging that says nothing, means nothing, and connects with no one. It’s the voice of brands that talk at people instead of to  them. Buzzwords instead of beliefs. Noise instead of meaning.
