IP-first storytelling for brands, agencies, and studios.
Go beyond reach — build resonance.
Who We Are
Audiences don’t just want ads — they want stories with depth, authenticity, and cultural heat. At Switchboard Studios, we originate nonfiction IP that resonates far beyond campaigns.
Our team comes out of both magazine journalism and Hollywood. Because we treat brand storytelling like film development — not content production — every project carries the rigor of real reporting, the craft of cinema, and the reach of culture. Brands, agencies, and studios partner with us because our mission is to uncover, develop, and deliver true stories that connect emotionally, scale across mediums, and help shape culture through authentic storytelling.
What We Make
* Nonfiction IP with cultural traction — true stories developed to travel across mediums
* Brand narratives with cinematic depth — not content, but campaigns that resonate
* Formats built to flex — from documentaries and scripted to podcasts and activations
* Scalable storytelling — designed to grow from prestige films to full-funnel brand ecosystems
* Stories that attract — built to engage brands, studios, and audiences alike
