IDW began in 2014 in Oakland, California, built by Partners with deep backgrounds in brand, film, and editorial. We've grown into a global partner, delivering cinematic film + video, artful still imagery, and a practiced eye for detail.

Our team of strategists, art directors, writers, producers, and post-production experts is driven by a clear purpose: to create meaningful work that makes a positive impact in the world.

We are purpose-led and impact-driven.

As a creative partner, we collaborate with visionary leaders and teams that share our core values. Our strongest engagements are built on mutual respect and commitment to the impact of our work in the world.

Play + Intention

Play is purposeful—an essential part of mastery. We explore and create in the service of that which can be better.

Great work requires balance for inspiration and renewal. Our work is both our craft + passion.

Humility + Expertise

No egos or chips on our shoulders. We use our skills in service of our partners, clients, and collaborators.

Gratitude + Action
