Hi! I need help! Where do I find creative, quirky, Prod Co’s? Need to do Docu-style videos fun, artsy, some Gfx. Not just talking heads. Client is corporate but spots don’t need to be boring. The reels I have are too “commercial”. It’s for branded content but should feel like little films. Need on camera dialogue & B-roll to create a mood. It’s a triple bid so need more options! Team loves this place, are there more? https://www.cottage8films.com

This is my favorite fish bowl thread ever. TY OP.
I feel like some of the contributing writers on Rick and Morty must be former/current copywriters, given their frequent spot-on digs at the advertising industry.

Barry Manilow started out as a jingle writer. He wrote some of the most memorable commercial jingles ever. McDonalds "You Deserve A Break Today." "Band-Aid's "I am Stuck in Band-Aid" Stsre Farm's "Like a Good Neighbor" plus KFC, Pepsi and Dr Peppers. Funny...his jingles are more memorable than his songs, lol.
