Who We Are

We are a boutique creative agency focused on leveraging cutting-edge technology in today’s content-driven world.  We can produce all the pieces needed to raise your visibility.  On the Internet, “No one is famous because everyone is.”  Everyone now must be a content generation machine in order to be seen.  At the same time, we believe in good old-fashioned audience-building. There are no shortcuts: buying followers, buying views/spins, etc. are not the path to growth and creating movements.  Real creators and entrepreneurs build power with great stories, products, experiences (live and virtual), and content that win people over, one-by-one.  We know this, because we’ve lived it through the lives of artists and content creators for over 20 years.

We were founded in 2003 with a dream of helping artists of all kinds reach their potential. Derek Hoiem started by recording friends, and then more friends, realizing that creatives needed help. They needed help with the creative process, with business stuff, with financing their operations, and with knowing how to push their creativity out into the world. In 2005, we discovered Capitol Records artist Allen Stone, bringing him to the Seattle area from his hometown in Chewelah, Washington to make his first EP that landed his management deal. In 2008, we launched Save the City Records, a national record label distributed by Sony Music, that has released dozens of albums reaching the iTunes home page, Billboard charts, and hundreds of thousands of people around the globe.  We’ve also been a good friend of non-profits helping them connect with audiences through creative experiences to help promote their causes (see our list of Clients).

Now we are bringing our real-world experience of creative talent management, production, technology, and marketing to more people.  In today’s digitally-driven world, we’re all content creators now.  We can help at all stages because we’ve been through it, and we can do it. Our dream is helping you achieve yours.
