DECADE
DECADE is a story-driven production company that connects people, brands, causes and culture.
First order of business when my strategy partner and I merged with BRAY CREATIVE (who is still wildly successful under the control Brandon Bray, our partner) was to create a new brand that reflected not only the intersection of the two firms, but also the ongoing relationship between businesses and consumers within a specific timeframe. This endeavor, nuanced and slightly ephemeral, resulted in the adoption of the timespan ‘Decade’ and the simple visuals that hinge on the concept of that very intersection.
You’ll see a brief brand overview (above) followed by the range of approaches offered; harnessing the full range of human emotion to elicit a response from our clients’ respective audiences. From humor, to heartstrings, talking heads to branded content — each effort dialed in to create the visual language for each specific need. DECADE works with real people, in real situations, with a focused passion for developing branded content video series and short films that blur the lines between documentary style and narrative storytelling.
