If you can’t have a little fun with fitness content, what’s the point?

For this video with The Devil Wears Prada as inspiration, we leaned fully into the spoof — casting Lead General Manager’s daughter, Astrid, as our very own Miranda. Same energy. Same authority. Slightly fewer cerulean sweaters.

This is the kind of content we love making: on-brand, culturally fluent, and just unexpected enough to stop the scroll. Because sometimes the fastest way to connect with an audience is to let them laugh first.

Strategy doesn’t always have to be serious to be effective.

Menopause isn’t polite — so the content shouldn’t be either.

Working with Sara Larson Coaching has been a fun, honest process of finding both her voice and her audience’s voice. Because women in midlife don’t need perfectly polished messaging — they need language that tells the truth, names the mess, and still offers support.

This kind of work isn’t about aesthetics first. It’s about resonance. And sometimes resonance is a little rough around the edges.

There’s something uniquely powerful about being trusted with a milestone — especially when it’s someone who’s been part of your life for years.

Capturing Alice’s wedding day was such a blessing, and her testimonial is a reminder that storytelling is about more than footage. It’s about presence, care, and honoring the people in front of the lens.

Some stories require both precision and care.

At the end of 2025, we began working with Dr. Sylvia Owusu-Ansah — a physician with extraordinary expertise and lived experience we’re excited to continue exploring. For now, the focus is clear: telling her breast cancer journey in a way that is medically accurate, deeply human, and rooted in advocacy.

This work isn’t about dramatizing illness. It’s about honoring truth, protecting accuracy, and creating space for vulnerability without sacrificing clinical integrity. That balance matters — especially in healthcare storytelling.

Resting is not quitting. It’s strategy.

This carousel for Emily Bohan, DPT was created to reframe rest for hypermobile bodies — where pushing through pain is often praised, but actually leads to setbacks. The goal wasn’t motivation. It was permission.

When you work with experts, the content has to slow people down in the right way. That’s where thoughtful strategy matters.

A reset doesn’t mean going quiet — it means getting smarter.

We’ve loved working with Katie and Kelly at Serifina 2, and as their physical location takes a short pause, we’ll be working hand in hand with them at market — capturing real-time reactions, purchase moments, and content that goes live as it’s happening.

This is where we do our best work: supporting brands through transitions, keeping momentum when things shift, and turning real moments into strategy.
