Mind Over Clutter

Hello.  Welcome.  Thanks for knocking on our virtual door.  Alter Ego Studios is where advertising and entertainment intersect.  We have over 20 years experience creating marketing for Fortune 500 clients and entertainment for major Hollywood networks and studios.

Our vision is to go beyond ‘life-interuptus’ messaging and media clutter. We strive to create cultural experiences with ideas and stories that entertain as well as sell.  Some call it content or advertainment or programming,  we call it stuff people really want to see.

Why Alter Ego?

A client who had an traditional advertising agency said he could hire us if we were an ‘alternative’ advertising agency. To which we enthusiastically replied, “We’re not just alternative, we’re the alter ego of advertising”.  He agreed, gave us a hefty contract and we named ourselves Alter Ego Studios. 

Why Studios?  Again, we decided our entire name should go beyond advertising.  Because we’ve created television shows and movie franchise concepts for clients.  Sold movies and TV shows to networks and studios.  Launched worldwide web-based campaigns.  And yes, we still do print and radio – and we even have our own TV commercial production company.

We’ve created or filmed commercials for Anheuser-Busch, McDonalds, Apple, Microsoft, Pizza Hut, Porsche, Nike, Nissan, Eveready Reebok, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Toyota, Dr. Pepper, Boeing, Kodak, Charles Schwab, Alaska Airlines, Hitachi, Hyundai, 7 Up, Wendy's, NetZero, Hitachi, Oakley, Hersheys, Dr. Pepper, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Boeing, Kodak, Charles Schwab, US West, to name a few. 

We’ve also won countless Advertising Awards from Cannes Golden Lions to Clios to New York Art Director Awards.  Last year, we had a TV movie nominated for a Humanitas Award.  But even though we won big awards, we don’t believe your business is about our egos – or using your account to win awards. 

And we believe some traditional advertising rules still apply. Like smart account planning, innovative marketing, studying your brand and your positioning in the the marketplace.  The goal is still sales whether you call it advertising or not.

As our name implies, Alter Ego Studios is an ‘alternative’ to traditional thinking.  Our mission is to separate you from the competition with distinctive work that stands apart from agency work as usual – and that creates brand value that stands apart in a consumers mind.
