The thesis

The best AI directors in the world are not in the rooms
where the best AI commercials get briefed.
That's the gap we represent.

We don't sign the directors with the safest credit lists.
We sign the directors doing the work nobody's figured out yet.
Some of them haven't worked for an agency. Most of them have never been to LA.

All of them have one thing in common.
They're better at this than the rest of the industry yet realizes.

Available for direct brand commissioning, agency assignment, and partnership. Animatic Media is the production partner on every engagement — the directors bring the vision, we bring the studio behind it.

How we engage

Two ways to commission a director.

Every engagement runs through Animatic Media as the production partner. The directors bring the vision. We bring the studio behind it.

Brand-direct

Hire the director. Hire the studio.

CMOs · Brand directors · Marketing leads

Pick the director whose specialization fits the brief. Animatic Media handles the production. The director directs. You get a fixed-scope estimate inside 48 hours of the kickoff call.

  • One brief. One contract. Director representation, production scope, and copyright registration in a single agreement.
  • Production grade. Same RenderLux™ workflow, same copyright protections, same broadcast-ready finishing as our direct studio work.
  • Director credit on the work. The director's name lives on the credit. Animatic Media is the production company.
Agency assignment

For agency creative directors.

CDs · ECDs · Holding-company procurement

Half of our director-led work flows through agencies under their creative direction. White-labeled or co-credited per the engagement. Director terms negotiated per project.

  • Match the director to the brief. Reach out with the brief, the brand, the deadline. We respond inside one business day with director availability and a fit assessment.
  • Production runs through us. You hold creative direction. We handle the production pipeline, the copyright wrap, and the legal documentation.
  • Pre-pro collateral included. Boards, animatic, look-frame approvals as part of the package — same studio that's been doing pre-pro for Goodby, TBWA, and Wieden since 1997.
