Meat steak without a bone - colored illustration

We take the work seriously. Ourselves? Not so much. We’re hellbent on delivering a creative process that is as impeccable as the final product. Twenty-plus years in, we’ve refined a workflow that’s equal parts precision, intuition, and controlled chaos. We’ve clocked our ten thousand hours—and a few existential crises. But the result? A not-so-Stiff approach that evolves with the times, plays well with others, and over delivers the goods.

WHAT'S
BEEN DONE

Every project gets our full attention—even if it’s one of 17 on your list. We get you, we get the brief, and we make work life drama-free (unless it’s scripted that way). We plan smart, prep hard, shoot fast, and edit like we’ve done this before (‘cuz we have). The result? Work that hits the mark and saves you time.

Who
WE'VE done
it with

Our clients range from Banks to burger empires, state agencies to luxury hotels and a host of worthy causes—Our clients always come back. Why? Because we grab attention and build connections. That simple.

How
It’s
Done

01

Create

Got a business problem that needs a creative solution? Music to our ears. Be it social, broadcast, or something weird and wonderful in between, this is where we dig in. We listen, question, brief, pitch, script, board and polish until it clicks. Big ideas start here—with our process-obsessed selves guiding the way.

02

Prep

Prep’s not the glamorous part—but skip it and watch things unravel. We map, cast, build, schedule, scout, pre-viz, and spreadsheet the chaos into something that actually works. This part keeps the rest of it from falling apart. No surprises here means room for the good kind later.

03

Produce

We run sets that are efficient, inclusive, and collaborative—with enough structure to wrap on time and enough flexibility to stay human. TV, OLV, social, or stills, if it’s got a screen or a feed, we’ve got a camera on it.

04

Finish

Post is where it all comes together. We refine the cuts, perfect the color, comp the effects, design the sound, and finesse the score. The polish isn’t just aesthetic—it’s proof the process worked. Seamless, dialed-in, and ready to ship.

WHO’S behind it all

Teamwork: Because solo dreamwork is a nightmare. We handpick a team of artist partners who are the perfect fit for each project, all under a Stiff and watchful eye.
