BUILD EXPERIENCES, NOT CAMPAIGNS.

Our process is collaborative and once we identify the most strategic properties with which to align, we work with our internal production and creative teams to ensure your brand attributes are authentically woven into a story to maximum effect. We then develop an audience engagement plan that delivers your branded entertainment story across the media spectrum in earned, owned, paid and social channels. We combine that with integrated marketing activations that extend the experience via promotions, merchandizing, and events.

Shaftesbury Branded has worked with brands in virtually every category, ranging from health care to consumer products and travel, unlocking brand experiences for ourclients.
