WHOWEARE
We are a company of creative, unconventional, idealistic, compassionate humans (and dogs).
We were born out of bad experiences. Watching cartoons as kids, dreading the commercial breaks. Working at agencies and studios under people who seemed to care more about profit margins than creativity.
But we were inspired by good experiences. Seeing the “no wrong way to eat a Reese's” campaign for the first time and looking forward to each commercial break, hoping that a new version of the spot would come on. Working with creatives who cared about their craft above all and inspired us to do the same, and under executives who put their staff and their community first.
We started TBA Films because of all of these experiences.
CLIENTS|COLLABORATORS|COMMUNITY
With every project we take on, we aim to connect our clients’ needs with the best fit collaborators for the job in order to create something that will have an impact on our community. Whether the goal is to inspire our audience with a call to action, or to provide something viral and entertaining, we always take a holistic approach from brief to delivery to ensure that our message comes across in the end product.
Here are some of the things viewers have said about our work:
“This is the most underrated ad I've seen in my life. It just hits different.”
“I've never searched for an ad in my life... until now.”
“I would just like to say that the execution on this was bang on the money … refreshing, inspiring and to the point ... it made me want to be a better person.”
“I’ve never skipped this ad when showed up in between videos.”
“I will watch it every morning now.”
“I literally searched for this video after watching the ad to the end.”
“I want more ads like this, those that touch our inner being, and not our insatiable consumerist ego”
“Probably the best ad ever, had to hunt this down and share it with all my friends!”
“I got goosebumps”
“The best ad i've seen in years!! Beautiful”
