Publishing

We've launched recent IPs like Kitty Cones & Peanut Bear whose books have sold 120k+ copies domestically with new titles and publishing partners growing rapidly. Whether it's focusing on developing an evergreen series or a studied, trend centric book, we partner with some of the best publishers in the world to bring readers memorable experiences.

We bring a proven track record of success with our own IPs but our experience includes taking a passionate yet thoughtful deep dive into the marketplace to find gaps we can fill and or be innovative in. Our series of DC heroes origin picture books for Viking sold over 250k copies and was translated into nine languages. The Story of Honk-Honk-Ashoo went from a single picture book to a full end-cap in Target stores consisting of books, toys, and playsets.

Creating books for us isn't a job, it's a life long passion. We've worked on the inside and outside of the industry as fans, illustrators, writers, art directors, and agents. We know print and it's artistry which includes collaborating with the best writers and artists in the world. Whether it's an evergreen series or a studied, trend centric book, we take pride in beautifully designed books and partner with some of the best publishers in the world to bring readers memorable experiences.

Entertainment

As we develop IPs for print, we also consider when and where it makes sense to partner with film or television and transform our content into a global brand. We may nurture a series in print first or work symbiotically with partners for a more broad-reaching launch to help cross-sell on each platform. Having experience as creators and producers in the entertainment industry, we thoughtfully act as curators carefully planning our marketing strategy for each of our IPs.
