01

Film

We architect end-to-end Academy campaigns across Best Picture, Director, Acting, Documentary Feature, International Feature, Animated Feature, and the Shorts categories. Our approach pairs disciplined For Your Consideration messaging with bespoke screening series, branch-by-branch voter outreach, talent-driven press moments, and trade positioning that builds narrative momentum from the festival circuit through final ballot. Recent campaigns include One Battle After Another, Sinners, Weapons, Dune: Part Two, Mr. Nobody Against Putin, and The Wild Robot.

02

Television & Streaming

From limited series to long-running drama, prestige comedy to unscripted and documentary television, we run Emmy campaigns that cut through an increasingly crowded field. We map the TV Academy voter universe, calibrate FYC events for working creatives, secure feature press across trade and consumer outlets, and craft category strategy that maximizes each title's path to nomination and win.

03

Guild & Critics Strategy

We take a holistic approach to awards, planning and executing campaigns for all aspects of a project, across all possible guilds and all phases in the life of a film. So-called precursor awards aren't a sideshow — they shape the consensus that drives Oscar and Emmy outcomes. We build coordinated strategies across DGA, PGA, WGA, SAG-AFTRA, BAFTA, the Golden Globes, the Critics Choice Awards, the leading film critics groups such as NYFCC, LAFCA, and other national and regional critics groups. We plan and produce screenings and receptions, lead voter outreach and engagement, manage eblasts, lead on the creative and buying for paid marketing and advertising, and deliver earned media coverage to compound momentum through the season.
