Creative Fixers. Production Specialists.
Story Driven.
Taste-Led.

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 and more. If it’s creative, we’re probably doing it.

A Swiss Army Knife
for your creative needs.

In today’s fast-paced and ever-changing content and creative world, we understand that brands and agencies need partners who are ready for whatever comes their way, for whatever crazy idea they’re cooking up, at a moment’s notice. With over 30 years combined production experience producing film, photo, digital, experiential, printed and social content - we’ve got the eye, the know-how, and the talent to bring your ideas to life. .

Simply put, we’re creative problem solvers.

And, we’ve been in your shoes, so we get it. We understand the every day obstacles you run into, the various stakeholders and numerous (and sometimes conflicting) performance goals. We’re here to help you get those wins.

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- its also things like -

-What are your strategic and creative goals for the project?
-What does a winning case study story look like?
-What else here?

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. 

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.
