COLLABORATION IS OUR DNA

BIGsmall.jpg

 

Location 8 is a creative company specializing in corporate and brand communications, concept development, advertising, documentary film and video production. Since our inception in 2001 we have been working a broad range of clients including Armstrong Flooring, Dansko, Fila Sports USA, Boathouse Sports, Adidas, Benjamin Moore, Chase, DuPont, Pep Boys, and GORE-TEX.

Collaboration is our DNA. We will be a teammate, not a vendor. We will structure our processes to support your goals, not conflict with them. We will be empathetic to the realities of your job and listen hard to what you and your business need.

The partners of Location 8 have worked at big agencies and production firms….and left them. We wanted to form a company structure that better serves the needs of our clients.
