We work closely with our clients, network, and brand partners to integrate their visions into the DNA of the content we create. Our job is to help them get their stories across on those screens that are wired to the Internet, mobile devices and more.

Social Media

How we work -The Process-
Today’s fragmented, multi-platform media landscape demands customized, creative solutions to drive unique, successful brand engagements.
At Flip Films we develop key strategic insights and operational tactics that consistently prove instrumental in crafting brand programming converting the hearts and minds of consumers.
Research
In order to create lasting bonds, we learn where our audience is headed and how we can meet them there. Insights become opportunities, opportunities become ideas, and ideas are engineered into reality and integrated across multiple brand touch points. Throughout this process, we use good to feed other good.
Partnerships
At Flip Films we look forward to alliances between brands and resources to deliver targeted solutions that benefit the shopper, the retailer and the client. We research, negotiate, implement, activate and measure every strategy so our marketing recommendations are seamless, effective and brand-building.
Creative Production
Our in-house resources and wide range of executional expertise allow us the rare freedom to create and communicate complete concepts, from inspiration to production, in engaging and innovative ways. We tell stories through every possible medium, not because the medium is what’s trendy but rather because it is what makes strategic sense. From digital initiatives to traditional and new media, we work to conceive it, make it and deliver it straight to your hands.
