We’re a
creative company that makes stuff.

We’re good at it.

From traditional commercial production and post production needs to beautifully crafted art books, bespoke experiences, native social content and more. If it’s creative, we’re probably doing it.

CEASE&DESIST

White decorative text saying 'I am an unmatched arsenal of makers & creators' on a black background.

We build teams for whatever you’ve got going on. It’s actually one of our favorite parts of the process. Our network of directors and photographers and creatives and editors and animators and retouchers and colorists and you-name-its can solve everything.

Our talent bench is a mix of specialists - directors, designers, editors, fabricators, etc AND multi-hyphenates—writers who direct, designers who shoot, strategists who produce. We build custom teams per project, keeping things lean and thoughtful.

The right minds at the right moment, working together in flow.

Quote: 'An approach that flexes to meet your project & business needs' in white text on a black background with decorative flourishes.

While other production companies have traditionally operated in more linear, siloed disciplines, at Cease & Desist we approach things a little differently. Accordingly, briefing us isn’t just sending us a couple of creative slides with an idea on it and asking us for timeline and budget—it’s also things like:

- What are your strategic and creative goals for the project?
- What does a winning case study story look like?
- How do you like to work and how can we make it a seamless and fun process?

Because those details matter! And they help us collaborate with you to make smarter decisions with time, money and resources. The result—work that doesn’t just look good (and we promise it will look GREAT), but also creates a relevant experience for your brand and your audience. 

  • You don’t! But we’re here to help. Let’s have a chat and if we can’t help, we’ll point you to someone who can.

  • We don’t have a hard roster of talent, no. We’ve worked insanely hard to find and build relationships with the best creative talent in the world, because we believe in pairing the right talent with the right job. And if we don’t have the right director, designer, influencer etc to crush the project, we will transparently tell you so. 

  • We’ve got capabilities for days. No, really. Don’t see something you need? Shoot us a note. We’re happy to pull some work samples together to help you determine if you want to engage in further conversation.
