As our name suggests, we like the long odds, the hard target, the big caper – and we like getting it done with a bit of style and zero fuss.

Creative Development Content Strategy Production & Post-Production Original Content

We help brands strategize, ideate and produce powerful visual campaigns. Our offering combines the sophistication of a traditional agency engagement with the production know-how needed to actually turn abstract ideas into story. That unique combination of expertise in both marketing and making enables faster, more strategic work – all of it singularly focused on the client’s brand and business objectives.

In a world saturated with media, how will you build an audience, and what will it require? We help clients develop authentic story-driven content, identify new audiences, build a layered, cohesive brand narrative across multiple platforms, and leverage their limited resources through both paid placement and earned media strategies.

We offer clients a full range of production and post-production services, including directorial and photographer talent, line-producing, editorial, motion-design, sound, color and final finishing.

Our 5,500 square foot studio houses editorial and finishing suites, rentable production offices, conference rooms and shooting space.

Alongside our commercial efforts, HEIST also develops and produces its own intellectual property — entertainment with cultural relevance, humanity and depth. Our first longform project is the Emmy-nominated documentary Q Ball.
