About Rare Beast

Tired of c0nstant cultural landfill?

We help good companies re-cOde their relationships with their communities.

—01

Perspective Matters

We are a group of strategists, designers, curators, artists, and cultural provocateurs that enhance communication through meaningful & beautiful extension.

Engineered efficiency is no longer working. We help companies, institutions and teams authentically augment strategies and execution as an experience people love.

Its simple. Give people more what they love & less of what they hate.

—02

Cultural Intelligence = Brand Currency

The world has enough quantitative, data-driven identity, predatory marketing, and advertising agencies. We are not any of these things.

We are strategic innovation engine armed with qualitative human insight into the drivers of a shifting modern world.

We don't believe in pop-up-ads, clickbait, easy content, Banalities, inbox dumping, or annoying fucking Robots. We don't aim to stalk, track, data extract, or hold people emotionally hOstage.

—03

Lasting Cultural Artifacts

We create cultural artifacts — Objects or experiences of qualitative and sustainable intention meant to enhance a relational dialog between brand and consumer.

This manifests itself in real-life experiences and interactions — digital enhancements, environmental, product innovation, collaborations, publishing, campaign experiences, design thinking, motion, music, and art.

We believe in the inefficiency of empathy— The time wasted on craft & the conversations rambling toward meaningfulness.

—04

We're Not for Everyone

While a Rare Beast can be a scary and fascinating creature, It doesn't feed on the attention of people. It intrigues it. It nurtures it to a place of genuine value & connection.

A Rare Beast seeks the Law of Attraction because it loathes the Law of COnstant. We believe consent is something that should be given, never taken. So let's make stuff that’s meaningful, lasting, tactile, beautiful, and wanted.
