LOOSEWORLD

We are a creative agency that has something nobody else has. Our roots are in TV production and branded content like music videos, short films, and digital media, but we've recently expanded our reach to artists in the trenches nobody else can find. Our work is stylized, interesting, engaging and, lucky for us, popular amongst the traditionally fickle demographic of the young, influential, and educated. These people are our peers, and we understand each other. Click around to see what we've done and the kinds of talent we can provide

Yobot Audition

Yotel

We created a viral video to raise awareness around the grand opening of YOTEL NEW YORK. Yotel opened in the summer of 2010 with 669 rooms and the largest outdoor terrace of any hotel in the city. YOTEL’s smart-design with 12,000 square feet designed by David Rockwell and Softroom of London needed a big viral video to match.

NBC’s The Today Show, CNN, the Huffington Post, and Wired.com are among the many prominent news outlets to cover the film.

Agency x Artists

LOOSEWORLD’s got a deep bench of dependable, talented artists across a range of disciplines: writers, graphic designers, performers, crew and more. By maintaining a diverse talent pool, rather than a full-time staff, we can avoid the additional overhead and inevitable sluggishness that comes with a larger operation. We aren't bound to anyone which allows us to really find the perfect person for the job.

Creative

LOOSEWORLD’s internal team is a tightly-knit crew of multidisciplinary producers who use their range of talents and backgrounds to help our clients sell themselves. We brainstorm strategies and executions for those who are trying to reach the young and the savvy - the person who’s bored of commercials and billboards and expects something more interesting from the brands they buy. A short list of our top services include: Conceptual/Strategic planning, Copywriting, Content development and production, Event planning, Software/Web engineering, Brand and Artist relations, Talent sourcing

Technology

LOOSEWORLD’s technology engineers know a thing or two about ones and zeros. With produced work for clients such as HBO and UFC, they are the guys you want behind the keys. Our tech team is integral to our agency work, creating everything from buzz-worthy Facebook apps to full-on websites and more traditional banner ads for clients. While web development is a core piece of 360˚ agency work, our team is capable of producing one-off executions like microsites, Facebook pages, mobile apps and more.

Content

When it comes to video, LOOSEWORLD can produce. Music videos, branded content shorts, digital media, broadcast, event coverage, sizzle reels, casting tapes, shorts and feature films are all within our comfort zone. When it comes to the medium of the moving image - from concept to execution to delivering a finished product - we know the form. We’ve produced work for Comedy Central, HBO, EMI, Funny or Die, and more. We’ve got a keen eye for talent, and with a number of original projects in various stages of development, stay tuned for the next LOOSEWORLD production!

Events

Events and parties are an integral part of the LOOSEWORLD culture. We like to party, but not quite like everyone else. Our events are fresh, unique, and most importantly LOOSE. Our client roster includes Tribeca Film Festival, Mad Decent Records, and Grand Life Hotels. Our approach to throwing epic events and ragers comes from the school of thought that no 2 parties should be alike. We take the goal of the event and flip it into a day or night that won't be forgotten by anyone. Like our agency work, the LOOSEWORLD Artist community is usually involved to freshen things up.
