ABOUT
Many brands are shouting into a void right now. They have the planning decks, the media budgets, the agency retainers — yet they still feel a step behind culture. Never quite in it. This is the problem Rare Beast was built to address.

We're a strategic creative practice with three distinctly interconnected flows:

The Studio, where we use deep insight, strategy, and creative experience to help brands and institutions figure out who they are and where they're going. We recode and repair the relationship between brands and people.

Ventures, where we road test our own ideas as well as back the visionary founders in which we most believe.

Editions, our publishing house endeavors to make lasting cultural artifacts. Books, zines, music, products, art, films, and IRL eperiences.

Each of these empower what we view as a virtuous circle. Each feeding the others. The latter(Rare Beast Editions) is what makes us different. We’re not observing culture from the outside— we're in it.

Over time, the brands, founders, funders, and artists with whom we work don't just grow — they start to compound one another.

We are seeking out culture creation and cultural innovation. Not culture catch-up. And we believe it’s the future.
