OK… Are the judgmental “A professional web site must use professional-sounding words” people gone yet? Good. Let’s talk.
You’ve got a problem, admit it. It’s OK, it’s just us talking here. You’re too overworked. You’ve got so much to handle, you’ve been eating lunch…and breakfast… and dinner at your desk every day for a month. Sure, the staff you have is great, but you could really use some help.
Maybe just some fresh thinking.
Maybe something inspirational to help you sell that client in on some new integrations.
Or maybe a whole new branding strategy that’ll make you look like a rock star in front of the GM – and put that VP down the hall who always gives you the stink eye back in his place.
We get it. We’ve been there.
So put down that egg salad sandwich for a moment and take a look around the site. If you like what you see, let us know. If you don’t, that’s good too. At the very least we’ll have given you something to chew on. Aside from the egg salad, that is.
As our writing professors used to say: “If it ain’t on the page, it ain’t on the stage”. Of course, those guys were probably talking about Vaudeville or something and they were clearly not considering the environment when they marked their non-post-consumer content pages with non soy-based inks.
But they had a point: It all starts with the big idea.
It’s not just finding a great idea and putting pixels on a screen, though. It’s using just the right words to communicate that great idea clearly, concisely and usually in 30 seconds. Sometimes 10.
We pride ourselves in understanding the brands we work with before we even work with them: How they talk to their viewers. The words they use. Their attitude. Their voice.
Then we write and write and write some more until we feel like we’ve really captured what they want to say.
Plus, we’re very good spellers and we own several legal copies of Microsoft Word.
Bloated former 1970s sitcom star: “Would you like to learn an exciting new skill that can impress your friends and make you the hit of any party? Sure! We all would!
“At the B2 School of Editing, you’ll learn the difference between just cutting shots together and what smart, successful editorial is all about.
“You’ll learn:
• How to pick images that tell a story – not just look good
• The all important value of rhythm, pace and timing
• The importance of great music and sound design
• Air Conditioning repair!
“So what are you waiting for? Wouldn’t you like to kick start your life by benefiting from the secrets of great editorial?
“Then get up and call B2 now. Tell ‘em Sally sent you.”
Hey man, good design is about images, not words. Stop reading this and click on some of those words to the left.
(Yes, we know it’s ironic that you have to click on words to see images. But if we have to say so ourselves, they are very nicely-designed words.)
Dad always told us “If you want something done right, do it yourself.” Then, 30 minutes later, he’d usually just give up on what he was doing, crack open a beer and call in a professional. Admittedly, not the best role model. But we got the gist of what he was trying to say.
Interstitials. Integrations. Junkets. Studios. Locations. Kids. Adults. Green screen. Last-minute on a seamless. You name it, we’ve probably done it.
Shooting a promo campaign with a TV-star-turned-reality-show-star who insists on bringing along her reality crew – and her 6 month old baby – to the set? Check.
Strapping a camera – and a director – to a helicopter and flying them 4,000 feet over an active volcano in Hawaii? Check.
Seventeen non-union pre-schoolers, their Michael Lohanesque parents, and an 86 year old grandma playing peek-a-boo in the backyard of the director’s house? Been there. Done that.
So bring on your toughest shoots. We’ll bring you grace under pressure, great performances, and thick, juicy veggie burgers from craft services.

You: “You’re talking about the premiere that’s 3 weeks away?”
Ad Sales Guy: “You betcha! Oh, and here’s the fun part: The client really wants to integrate their brand into everything, but none of the cast members can mention the client, their products or their services in any way.”
You: “Um”
Ad Sales Guy: “I told em ‘fuhgeddaboudit!’ our Integrations team is the best in the biz. Three weeks is plenty of time!”
