​

We built the brands of 2 multi-billion dollar companies, Electric Daisy Carnival and Emsculpt NEO, which went from a $22M/year company to $660M/year within 3 years of our marketing initiative

Hotshot

Hotshot has enjoyed universally rave reviews across the board, including a full page spread in the Chicago Tribune.

 

Hotshot has made a significant shift in public awareness about the benefits of prescribed fire, who Hotshots are, and the occupational challenges they face. The film has been used effectively to lobby numerous Congressmen and Senators in DC, where a range of pro-firefighter legislation has finally begun to emerge and gain unprecedented support.

Gabriel’s wildfire footage won him a sponsorship from RED Digital Cinema, the premier cinema camera company in the world. RED produced 2 custom cameras, named after our production company, and landed a permanent feature on their website, alongside legendary directors David Fincher, Michael Bay, and Zack Snyder
