Founded on Principles
Storyocity is founded on 4 guiding principles. Make art & cinema worth falling in love with. Think like a designer. Lead with passion. Be most proud of how we achieve our goals.
Make it worth watching
We don’t love making commercials that look and feel like boring commercials. We believe it’s possible for brands to make content worth watching, and it usually starts with really giving a damn about what you put out. Advertising and content creation has an impact on our global culture, and that impact is important to consider. We work best with brands that are willing to think bigger and bolder about the work that they do, and are willing to forego the Traditional ROI and consider the Cultural ROI.
That forever kind of love
Love is not a taboo word where we come from. We love what we do, and we love the people we do it with. We have so much love, in fact, we have structured our process and studio to reflect that. We are big believers in things like financial transparency with our team, shorter work days, open work from home policies, open vacation policies, and the big one: There is no “home self” and “work self”, there is just “whole self.” This concept means we see the human in every interaction, always.
Founded in 2017 —
We’ve strived to make films that make our soul sing, whether with our clients or for ourselves. And that’s exactly what we’ve been doing. Our expertise is in the little moments, the emotions and experiences that make us human. We describe our work as more film than commercial, more experience than content, more art than advertising. More love than anything else.
Anyone who has ever met David or Garret know that they live with their heart on their sleeve, and it reverberates through the whole studio. Our whole team leads with passion and excitement. We’re bound by a love for the craft. And we’re pushed by our insatiable desire to craft stories and experiences that are worth falling in love with.
Literally, forever.
