STRATEGY
We like to jump in early. Whether it’s shifting a brand’s perception, introducing a new product, or collaborating on a new creative platform. We want in. Creativity is our thing, and finding motifs that are emotionally resonant and visually exciting is what we do best. So let’s do it together.

PARTNERSHIP
We like to have fun, and we like to work with good people, artists, and clients alike. That means we value our relationships. We’re here for a good time and a long time, for small asks and world-changing ideas, because that’s the point. We’re partners.

AGILITY
Bespoke teams for tailor-fit creative is our motto. Just like our medium shifts with the story, so do our teams. Our world-class producers and artists are called experts for a reason, and we like to stay nimble to evolve with the need.

CREATION
This is the good stuff. Yes, we direct, we design, we animate, we edit, we do vfx. Our team creates all the things. Here's a quick list of our expertise:
Design Live Action Illustration 2D, 3D & Cel Animation Choreography Color Correction Cinematography Sound Design Set Design Editorial & Finishing Post Production VFX Photoreal CG Character Motion Graphics Narrative Experiential Collage Mixed Media Kinetic Typography
HOW WE DO IT
At Scholar, our media is not mixed or haphazard. It's curated. Ideas accelerated. A fusion of all creative. Together. Collaboration-focused and always intentional, always authentic.
We take a style-agnostic approach to creation. A diverse expression of story with multi-faceted artists and processes who are curated to adapt. We think of ourselves as engineers of craft who are here to redefine the familiar and find a voice where there is none.
We put people first and support voices and stories from all walks of life to transform brands into culture.
